Oh heyyyyy!
Here's the deal. I'll tell it to you quickly and painlessly.
I'm back on the Paleo Train.
Goal? Lose 10-15 pounds by the end of the summer.
Today's eats?
Omellete, 1/2 an apple
2 liters of water.
the other half of that apple.
salad, stuffed with vegetables of course. And some bacon. Yeah.
Paleo Banana Muffin. It was necessary for the Banana-Muffin "All-Day day".
I promise I'm not starving myself. I just was really busy today and had a hard time getting food into the schedule.
Plus I just wasn't very hungry. For who knows why.
That's all for now. You might be hearing from me soon.

Two Week Paleo Hullabalooza
For the two weeks prior to Nutcracker, I, the Muffin, have made the commitment to be Paleo. Because I need to be in my best shape for this lovely performance.
Obviously the 60 day challenge faced the ultimate fizzle out. My mom held strong. Superman and I did not.
BUT--I have discovered that the only real way for me to be committed to a healthy Paleo lifestyle is for me to personally decide to do it. I can't just be a link on. I need to make the commitment personally. And I need to find which 'status' of Paleo works for me. All in due time, my little Cavemen. All in due time.
Anyway, last night I made a very delicious dinner for myself that my Padre was very envious of. (I should have have the foresight to make it doubled but ah well.) It was really easy too! All I did was fry up some chicken, and once it was done, set it aside. In the same pan I fried up about a fourth of an onion and about 1/2tsp-ish of garlic, then tossed in half of a green pepper and two chopped up tomatoes. I cooked that until the juices from the tomatoes had created a bit of a 'sauce', then added the chicken back in. I seasoned it with Ginger, Creole Seasoning(one of my favorite Paleo seasonings. Yea for no dextrose!), and Salt.
It smelled great and tasted amazing!
(Although, if I did make it again, I'd use two chicken breasts and not just one. My vegetable:meat ratio was a bit off.)
Super healthy and very satisfying. I'd totally make it again.
If, ya know, my dad buys tomatoes and peppers again. If. If is good.

Paleo, Day 30 (Halfway there!)
I had a very yummy breakfast this morning.
Bacon wrapped bananas, fried egg, and grape juice.
Only draw back? ...I smelled like bacon all day. And as wonderful as bacon smells, it still doesn't smell very good on a person....all day long.

Paleo, Day 18 (Getting Resourceful)
It seems like lately there is very little Paleo food at my dad's house. Some broccoli here, a small zuchinni there, a pineapple to be cut, nuts, an apple...oh wait....never mind the apple is rotten....
As many of you know, my biggest issue is TIME. I don't have time to sit and stir fry a bunch of vegetables or cook up some chicken (I don't think there IS any of that at my Dad's house anyway...) It's been kind of difficult to find things to make meals out of when there are no quick protein sources. Yesterday my lunch was a meager bit of pineapple, brocolli, and a couple of small tomatoes. Now, Paleo makes it so you can eat less and still be satisfied just about as long, but even this was quite on the small side. Especially without a fat or protein.
So today, I put on my thinking cap and opened the fridge. I found Zuchinni. I found some pineapple. Then, miraculousy, I found CHICKEN. All cooked up and ready to go. Emma had decided she didn't want to eat her chicken from last nights dinner. So as I was brushing my teeth and putting my school stuff in my backpack, I sauteed up the zuchinni, tossed in the chicken, and put it in a container when it was done. Then I topped it with chopped pineapple.
It was delicious.
As Leopold in Kate and Leopold wisely said:
"Where I come from the meal is the result of reflection and study. Menus are prepared in advance, timed to perfection. It is said that without the culinary arts, the crudeness of reality would be unbearable. "
Aw Hugh Jackman. I love you I love you I love you.
