Videos speak 1,000 words

Did you read my post from Saturday where I sent Eric out for coffee but said don't get food, I'll make it here? I was so proud. Well, today was a different day. He was running late; I was staying home. I went out for coffee, and I succumbed to the drive-thru.

HOWEVER, these kinds of "convenience decisions," as you know, are not typical, and I still feel very strongly about the Paleo way of life, as well as the CrossFit way of exercising. I get a lot of GRIEF (you know who you are), a few arguments, but mostly questions about why I do what I do. These two videos sum up perfectly what I believe concerning diet and exercise and how we were meant to live. Enjoy and feel free to disagree! That is the beauty of this glorious free nation! :-)

Meal # 1: McDonald's mocha latte (no whipped cream ... hey, save on sugar where you can); Egg McMuffin [insert sad face]

Meal # 2: Leftover salad with veggies and 3 oz. can of tuna, olive oil and vinegar
So glad I made that big salad with all those chopped veggies the other night. I have gotten so much use out of that. And I only chopped once! Also, I rinse the tuna really well to try to wash off as much of the sodium as possible.

Meal # 3: Tilapia with blackening seasoning and lemon juice; broccoli and shredded carrots in olive oil - little bit of salt and pepper
Going much easier on the salt than before. Trying to transition to not adding any at all to food I prepare.
