Finally, a pretty perfect Paleo day

Meal # 1: 1 omega-3 enriched egg, scrambled with some added egg whites, spinach, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 pc. nitrate-free bacon crumbled on top

Meal # 2: Apple with Sunbutter

Meal # 3: Panera Greek salad with chicken, olives, tomatoes, red onion. No feta.

Meal # 4: Leftover tilapia fillet and broccoli/carrots

Meal # 5: Mexican hash with homemade guacamole and organic store-bought salsa
Hash = Organic ground beef sauteed in olive oil with garlic, onion, shredded zucchini, shredded carrots, cumin, chili powder, paprika, crushed red pepper, and ... you guessed it, my favorite ... fresh cilantro! Guac was 1 whole avocado, mashed, with more fresh cilantro, lime juice and a bit of salt and pepper. No added salt to meat dish, though. Got this recipe off a Paleo blog and it was really, really good!!

Workout: Warmup = 20 min. walk w/ Parker; Workout = AMRAP in 15 min. of 4 pull ups (medium assistance band), 4 dips (on rings, with feet on floor), 8 push-ups (on knees), 12 kettlebell swings (6 each arm; only have a 15 lb KB at home) ... Got 6 rounds of 4-4-8-12 + 3 pull-ups.

Boy, for my athletic ladies out there, be prepared to lose a significant amount of strength when you get pregnant. I don't know if it's the extra weight (13 lbs so far), the extra blood volume, or what - but I am not the same athlete I was four months ago. It's a little frustrating to feel so weak, but Eric is great about reminding me that my body's only job right now is to make a baby. Any of the workouts I do now are primarily to preserve my muscle memory for when I get back after it post-partum, to keep joints lubricated, heart strong, etc. Not out to make any gains right now.

As for the diet, I wanted to address some FAQ's I've been getting lately on Paleo, but I'm too tired now. Will shoot for this weekend. Nite nite!!
