Woke up seriously hungry at 5am. <div><br></div><div>Drank a large glass of water before diving into my cup of black coffee.. Once I made it downstairs I started my day with soup. Ha!! Yes you read that right. I had made a pot of vegetable soup with a beef bone broth base. It does have all paleo friendly veggies in it as well as chunks of beef. Had about 1-2 cups and drank the broth. I love leftover dinner for breakfast :) </div><div><br></div><div>Lunch, well.. My office had our staff party today and while I wasn't horrid, I wasn't completely on my game either. I didn't go prepared, instead realied on there being options, which was a mistake. The menu: salad with a vinaigrette, spinach quiche, and bread. Grabbed a decent pile of salad, skipped the bread and had one slice of quiche I picked out of its crust. What killed me was when I picked at the desserts!! Day two?! Really?! LOL had a some small bites of sugary stuff I didn't need and went on my way. Thankfully, this was not the trend. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dinner was a... Well I don't know what to call it. Jumbalaya? I took an aidells sausage and sautéed it in a skillet with broccoli, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper,cabbage, garlic, and asparagus and drizzled about 2tbs of oil off some sundried tomatoes I had. This is basically my effort to use up the last few veggies in the fridge before I put the new groceries in. Once cooked I like to use 1/2 can of the organic diced tomatoes from Costco. This is actually one of my favorite things to do because I can add a bit of quinoa for the kids and it's truly like a jambalaya for them :) </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFIUfGv5kWNDv5D5X5-Y1Y1Cv2AslfQGMFnsAzUqEwnw3Uf_5BLjOHlfl_t-IBWtZFMCjbWZ-6-wuQw-7msyPaWEUhJ4dFqo-ox0hFtQWWz0Wa0bNlaXHwb_wAVb3tpgty9DCXEeEtT0/s640/blogger-image-1485405221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFIUfGv5kWNDv5D5X5-Y1Y1Cv2AslfQGMFnsAzUqEwnw3Uf_5BLjOHlfl_t-IBWtZFMCjbWZ-6-wuQw-7msyPaWEUhJ4dFqo-ox0hFtQWWz0Wa0bNlaXHwb_wAVb3tpgty9DCXEeEtT0/s640/blogger-image-1485405221.jpg"></a></div></div>Heidi M Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11581345081457271573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138076392758754705.post-65117062869729114322014-12-08T17:10:00.000-08:002014-12-09T05:24:07.208-08:00Monday December 8thAnd so it begins!<br>
<br>
Today I started off with black coffee, I switched to this about 2 years ago, so no issues with that here. I get in trouble by drinking too much of it though.<br>
<br>
Breakfast:<br>
black coffee<br>
2 over medium eggs<br>
3 slices of turkey bacon<br>
<br>
at 2 pm I realized I had been elbow deep in website design (and still am) and was starving. I took a break and had some leftover crock pot pulled pork. There was some mesquite seasoning on it, but it is sugar free, from what I can tell it's safe. I sliced a bell pepper and used it to scoop the pork. Gives me the crunch I am looking for.<br>
<br>

It was at 2, TWO O'CLOCK I switched from black coffee to water! Yikes. I post that so hopefully I can do it a little better tomorrow.<br>
<br>
Didn't really snack today, and wasn't really hungry.<br>
<br>
Dinner is salmon with zucchini. I use a vegetti to make zucchini noodles (walmart, best paleo kitchen tool ever) and tossed them with a little avocado oil, garlic, and fresh basil. For the kids I do salmon and use the same oil, basil, garlic combo just putting it on whole grain pasta and topping with a little fresh parmesan.<br>
<br>Ended up having a bell pepper as a late snack. <div><br>

I am once again at that point of needing to tighten the reins on my diet! I love paleo and the health benefits it has but often find myself justifying a cheat bite, which turns into a cheat meal, to a cheat day...and then fat pants! Can you relate?<br />
<br />
For the next month I am going to attempt to post my daily 30 day paleo detox. While there are tons of books and resources out there, I LOVE paleo for dummies! It has been the easiest resource I have found.<br />
<br />
Once the 30 days is over, I plan to continue he blog as I cook and find recipes.<br />
<br />
If you are wanting to try paleo, join me! I will post daily and can promise that as a mom of two, wife and full time ministry leader I don't have time for crazy 60 ingredient recipes or to strain my own almond milk. My plan is to do a little food prep on Mondays and realistic family meals that can be adjusted for kids during the week.<br />
<br />
Here goes!<br />
<br />
Today I am prepping crustless quiche, I will have these on hand for breakfasts or snacks. I will also prep mini meatloafs. These two things give me paleo friendly meals I can grab and go...or something I can crab if I am just starving. Paleo is not intended to be a starve diet, in fact you need to keep your metabolism running, with the right fuel.<br />
<br />
Here are the recipes I am using today.<br />
