What did you eat today?

[GLC1968]

Travel day #2.

B: steak and egg breakfast bowl from Panera (did any of you paleo gals know that Panera has a 'hidden menu' with a bunch of paleo friendly options??)
L: broiled fresh caught grouper on a salad that had figs and pumpkin seeds in it (delicious!)
S: Lara bar
D: carnitas salad from Chipotle topped with lots of guacamole

I haven't been posting here since I've been sick, as I've totally fallen off of the clean eating wagon. Well, I've had a whole wheat bagel, whole wheat cous cous, a few slices of Ezekial bread. I know this is not really bad, but I'd been eating pretty clean. Well, now I'm going away for a long weekend of x country skiing, which always includes lots of eating. I will try to be good, but don't think I can be totally Paleo.
I did make the Shepard's Pie recipe from the Eat Well cookbook. It was kind of a fail. Not sure what happened, but I think I need less broth and more meat. The mashed cauliflower on the top was a big hit though, and very easy to make. That will become a staple.
Will start posting my food again next Monday.

I just learned that GLC, which is great news!

B: parsley/sausage fritata, coffee with cream
1 hour group training session that featured deadlifts, hang-cleans & front-squats galore
L: green beans, carrots, roasted chicken
D: kale and arm roast (braised)

The grouper sounds good, I need to force myself to eat more fish...

B: eggs n turkey bacon, coffee
L: low fat chilli with avocado
D: skinned chicken legs, cottage cheese, mango chobani
S: soy nuts, yogurt smoothie

So pooped. Going to bed. Good luck everyone on your weight loss and training goals :-)

Thanks for the tip, GLC! Please keep the travel menu ideas coming....I have several travels coming up and it's always a challenge to eat well when I'm on the road.

Today:

B: scrambled eggs with baby spinach over small amount of sweet potato hash, 2 thin slices of fresh side pork - I call it bacon (cooked with salt and pepper - yummm , coffee (no cream!)
90 minute HARD workout!
post workout snack: boiled egg whites, 1/2 banana
L: chili over baby spinach, the other half of that banana
D: Probably sirloin steak if I can make up my mind how I want to cook it, green beans, salad. Perhaps a small baked sweet potato, perhaps not.

Still kind of hungry after lunch, I might have to have a snack of a few hazelnuts or macadamia nuts with some strawberries...hmmmmmmmm

I won't get into what I ate when I was on vacation. None of it was really awfully unhealthy (i.e. fried or sugary), but I did have a lot of bread and other grains that I don't normally eat. I did manage to only have dessert one night out of 3, so that was an accomplishment.
I am still sick, but somewhat on the mend. No semblance of normal exercise yet, although I did one hard snow shoe and one pretty intense nordic ski, due to conditions during the weekend. I did nothing but eat yesterday. Today I did a very light 30 minute work out on the trainer, like one of those old ladies at the gym that just sits and spins slowly. Since that started a bit of wheezing, tomorrow will be yoga and some weights. I am hoping to be able to go to spin or do the trainer on Wednesday.
B: 2 eggs and some egg whites with kale, an orange and blueberries, coffee, 6 oz. almond milk
L: we had no food in the house, so I rolled up a whole wheat tortilla and put the last of my hummus inside, which I ate in the car, in between clients. It's a weird day, since it's school vacation week here, so I saw 3 clients, even though my office is closed.
S: nuts and cranberries, a piece of cheese when I got home, and 2 whole wheat pita rounds and more hummus
D: 3 very small chicken thighs, sweet potato, broccoli, 2 squares dark chocolate
S: just finished about 4 oz. plain Greek non fat yogurt with blueberries, to help with the effects of the antibiotic I took

Becky - I just saw this! I should have posted more of my meals. This trip was weird because I stayed at my parent's house for half of it, so it was 'cheating' in terms of traveling while paleo.

I leave again next week for a trip to New England, so I'll be sure to post more then. Basically, I always look for TJ's or Whole Foods to stock a hotel room fridge and then Chipotle (their carnitas are Whole30 compliant) or Panera for restaurant options. Steak houses are typically pretty good too. I also always carry a container of olive oil/vinegar in my liquids bag, a couple of pouches of tuna and a couple of packets of Justin's almond butter for emergencies. Grab a banana from Starbucks and squirt almond butter on it and that'll hold me for hours. And it's usually possible to find veggie salads in airports, so with my own tuna and salad dressing, I'm good to go.
