Two eggs, half an avocado, and homemade tomatillo salsa! I've never really been a big fan of eggs, but this breakfast was delicious! Especially the salsa!...and there are lots of leftovers, so I can eat it with other things. I think my step-dad (who regularly makes salsa) has now got some competition :)
So that was my breakfast. My lunch was a spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, bacon (yum)...and you guessed it...Eggs! I've been having a hard time adjusting to salads without ranch dressing...I'm definitely a ranch kind of girl. Oil and vinegar gets boring after a while. On this salad I put just a tiny squeeze of lemon juice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and just a splash of oil and balsamic vinegar. There are enough flavors in the toppings that it tastes good without too much dressing.
For my snack today, I made a Paleo version of hard boiled eggs. So those are all my eggs today...but sheesh it just seemed like a lot. There will be no eggs at dinner though (even if I wanted, I couldn't b/c I'm fresh out).
So I'm going out of town again this weekend. The temptations will be minimal compared to last weekend :) We will be half camping, half not...so it will probably be a lot of cooking out type foods. So I'll be set on my protein, I just need to make sure I get my veggies in.
The trip should be fun. We are going down to Jeremy's (my boyfriend) Grandma's property...she has 169 acres! And from everything I've heard about it, it sounds beautiful and amazing! We are going down there to work though (yard work and such)...but manual labor has never bothered me...hey, it might even take place of my Crossfit workouts that I'll be missing. There will also be plenty of play time too! Apparently there is a river and a waterfall. I might pack my hula-hoop if there's room...practice my mad skillz. Speaking of Crossfit...I think I will bring my jump rope too and work on that.
I did my first double unders at the gym the other day! I did 5. At first, when I was attempting them, I wasn't sure if I was really executing them. Everytime I tripped I thought that might have been one, and I tripped after I got the double under, but just couldn't stick with it. So I counted about 10 or 12...then in the third minute of my double under attempts I actually got one...it felt completely different and there was no confusion on if I really did it or not...I did it! So I chucked my previous count of 10 or 12 and started over with 1. And in the last two minutes of jump roping I cleared a total of 5 double unders! Woohoo! Now I just need to practice, practice, practice!
Oh and since I'm a dork...and it's a long weekend and won't be getting home until Monday and I weigh in on Sunday mornings (before breakfast but after I...well, you know)...I'm bringing my scale with me. And hopefully Week 2 of Paleo has treated me well! :)
Those eggs look awesome.
