So week #2 is starting of with a not-so-on type of weekend, which is better than the off-the-wall type of weekends I had prior to June. I did manage to cook a fair amount of quality food, but also managed to have a few not-so-quality foods and drinks. Pretty much every dinner this weekend was on the grill:

What went along with these fabulous meals wasn’t so paleo… a few apricot wheat beers, couple glasses of red wine, and a some sangria as well. That being said, I did have some will-power and managed to resist the chips, dip, and other crap that my friends brought over for my impromptu BBQs.

Then there was Sat evening at the bar which ended in Taco Bell :-( That was my one off-the-wall meal of the weekend. Its usually in these social and late night scenarios which I endup not making the best decisions when it comes my eat.

Here’s the damage… Continue Reading

Week number 1 is done! And overall I think I did pretty good. While didn’t do so good with packing food to bring to the office, I did try to make some smart choices… like getting a carne asada salad rather than a pastrami sandwich. I did do much better with breakfast and dinner having finally cleaned up my kitchen and did some cooking at home. Here are a few snapshots:

Another area I didn’t do so well with is the drinking, as I did continue to have some wine with dinner throughout the week. But in spite of this, I did still manage to make process according to the scale (which I know is not always a good measure, but it is nice to see progress there).

With regards to starting on a Friday, I think it works out well. As my weekends tends to be a little off when I’m being social, so rather than finish up the week that that way I get to start off the week that way. Speaking of the next week… its time to bump things up. I’m going to make an attempt to limit the amount of nuts and fruits, as well as not eat out so much.

Oh, here is the complete menu for the rest of week #1…  Read more…

So once again I fell completely off the wagon, MIA from the gym, and was living off pizza. When will I learn :-(

With the start of the new month (June), I decided to try and get back on the Paleo/Primal track. Since I don’t seem to be doing so good with the “trying to just eat better”, I’ve decided to join in with a few other folks on http://robbwolf.com who decided to do a 30 day challenge for June (read here).

I was a little weary of starting on a Friday, as I usually like to start fresh with the beginning of the week on a Monday. However, considering that the weekends are usually my downfall, I figured decided it was a good thing after all. And for the most part I made it through pretty well, aside from a few glasses of wine and some cheese. This included resisting the pizza they provided for a meeting and later birthday cake at the office on Friday.

Here’s a sample of some of the meals which I make:
