First weekend on paleo

This is the real tester when you don't have the structure of the week at work. I'v been a bit more lenient on myself I have to admit. So started off with bone marrow broth with a poached egg and chicken. I also threw in a small handful of sunflower seeds and also had some melon- was going out horseriding for the afternoon so needed to be sure to be sure;) . The name "bone marrow" kind of put me off but it's the same idea as oxtail soup we're just not used to it. Well it was tasty enough but a bit unusual to be having for breakfast. 

Went hunting (drag) before you get on your high horse! Excuse the pun;) 2 hours trekking through fields and jumping over ditches. Great fun but very wet day. Came back caked in mud! It's usual to go back to the pub and tetell tales of the day. I didn't want to be too antisocial so had a hot port with no added sugar. Nice to be sociable and wouldn't say I'm falling off the wagon. Lunch was cold meats, a boiled egg, and carrots and celery in a vinaigrette. Handy to have on the go so wasn't too tempted to the pub food on offer (ok I had one sausage and a chicken wing) but steered clear of the chips.

Home for a cup of green tea and lemon and a nice read of the papers. Wasn't hungry at all for dinner but heated it up all the same. Chicken tikka masala with roasted auvergiene. Delicious. Up there with the best meal of the week. That and the fish stew. The chicken was marinated and the sauce was so tasty. No real craving for something sweet afterwards so think paleo is working! Let's see how I fair at the cinema later though!


Sunday breakfast was the delicious paleo  brownies with winter berry smoothie. Lunch was tuna nisoise salad with boiled eggs and beans. Dinner was topside of need with kale and turnips. Not too many veggies so had to add a raw carrot. Had a few handfuls of nuts and seeds throughout the day and green tea to keep me entertained when reading the paper.
