Long time no post. At first, I stopped posting cause I felt it was getting a little redundant, then I just had a crappy month due to the holidays. Now to get back on track and will post for this month. Then I was thinking of maybe starting a blog to track a food log and recipes there.

I have kept a log in Word Document starting Jan 1st, so I'll just transfer that to here.

Sunday January 10th 2010

Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with 2 slices chopped bacon, onion, celery, peppers, tomato, 2 fish oil, D3

Lunch: 3 cups spinach/lettuce/veggie salad with 2 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, 4 oz chicken, pear, 2 fish oil

Supper: *** tonight was my friend's daughter's 2nd birthday party and Lisa told me she was just getting pizza from Costco. Rather than not eat there at all and try to resist temptation, I decided to try out a paleo pizza recipe at home and took the food with me.

And for dessert, I took my own paleo chocolate banana brownies (enough to share) so that I wouldn't feel left out from birthday cake. She's a close friend and I know all her family, so I didn't feel awkward and no one judged me. This might not work for all situations though.

Anyways, pizza crust is almond flour and eggs. Then I topped it with tomato paste, bacon, onion, spinach, chicken, peppers and a little bit of cheese! It was THOROUGHLY good, but very filling, as the crust is quite dense.

Still might grab a quick snack, as I haven't eaten enough today
