there. proof that mental illness runs in our family.
oh well,maybe the physical activity will cure the madness? i can only hope.
so, i'm getting bored with my paleo breakfast options. i can only figure so many variations on eggs and bacon. what else is there to eat in the AM that is paleo-friendly?
i think i'm going to make my amazing turkey taco lettuce wraps for dinner tonight. or maybe i'll just do that tomorrow, i am getting pretty tired and don't really feel like cooking... but i should eat dinner. OH! i'll make myself a green smoothie. i haven't had one of those in ages. will post a pic later.
today's workout was a paired up workout where one person had to get through the board of exercises (pushups, star or tuck jumps, shoulder presses, burpees, etc.) while the other person went through the agility course as fast as they could (bear crawling around a bunch of obstacles and then going under some hurdles and then over some hurdles). it killed me after about 4 minutes. it is HARD to crawl around like a bear. those things are beasts!
Today my ____ is: (1 is the worst or least, 10 is the best or most) ...i'm not sure my scale is working for stress and anxiety indicators.
- stress: 4/10 - not too stressed, had a good day at work with my minions (though a couple of them are driving me nuts), but i didn't feel really stressed out.
- anxiety: 4/10 - don't feel very anxious!
- energy: 7/10 - i have more energy! i just feel like i can do more - like when i came home after work/before leaving for bootcamp (i had about a 35 minute window) - i finished up some laundry and cleaned up the kitchen! Normally, I'd just sit on the couch and "relax".
- mental focus: 5/10 - not as foggy as last week, but still feel some "residual" fogginess
- fitness: 2/10
- quality of sleep: 5/10 - I think i need to go to bed earlier. I only woke up once (at 4am) but i snoozed until almost 8am :-(
- happiness: 6/10 - i feel ok today, had a relatively good day at work, had a fun workout today. I had a fun car ride home from the gym - windows down, radio blasting. that was fun.
- financial discipline: New indicators: (1) ahead of schedule/ (2) on track/(3) behind schedule/ (4) holy shit what did I just do. Today, I'll give myself a 3. This should be a 2 or even a 1, but I went grocery shopping after bootcamp and spent $75 on groceries! WTF!!! I bought veggies, fruits, meat, coconut milk yogurt, dark chocolate almond milk. that's it! no wine, no junk. ugh. i also tried to buy the fruits and veggies that were on sale too :-( Oh well....

ALL IN!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome!!!!! also, a quick search for paleo recipes on pinterest turned up quite a bit: http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=paleo%20recipes
so maybe that will help add some variety to your meals?
all in - nice!!! you can doooo itt!
ReplyDeletei used your recipe the other day for the homemade taco seasoning and it was great! definitely fresher tasting than the packet stuff.
about the energy indicator. it's amazing how "relaxing on the couch" as you say doesn't seem as necessary if you have a bit of energy flowing... more often than not, i am definitely "relaxing on the couch."
hey, before you flip about the grocery bill, think about how many whole meals your trip will make for you!
re: meals + grocery shopping - that's true, let me figure out how many meals i bought. I ate dinner out on Tuesday night and Saturday night - but other than that, i have eaten all my meals at home, so say, over 7 days, that's 21 meals (3 meals/day), minus the 2 dinners = 19 meals, add 1 snack per day (fruit or dark chocolate almond milk) = 26 meals. So, if I did the math correctly, each of those 26 "meals" was roughly $2.88! ($75/26 meals). Ok, i like that calculation WAY better than just seeing the $$ on my grocery bill lol.
