DAY 141 - Monday December 9th


Info: Tonight I got 5 lbs of bacon sliced and in the freezer, 5 lbs of season ground beef cooked and in the freezer/fridge so I have a good base going forward with the rest of the week. Found out my daughter has pneumonia in her right lung again (we think it is from when she choked on a hot dog) but that's kind of scary in itself, she was originally diagnosed with it 2 weeks ago and was given antibiotics, and it has seemed to come back. Hopefully with her new medicine we are able to get rid of it! Oh yeah and this is a bonus picture post since I didn't post any while I was in MI.




photo+4.JPG Where's the beef? Oh yeah it;s right there.....
photo+2.JPG Home cured bacon, check out that meat!

 

Got my Rogue kettlebells in the other day as well, and have been practicing various movements with them so I can really get in to the Crossfit workouts going forward. Lots of good exercises to be learned. I was just checking out some videos on the kettlebell swings today, and found out I was doing them completely wrong.......OOPS!

DAY 142 - Tuesday December 10th

Info: Today I am naming D.O.T.S. Day of the Salads. That's all I wanted, and that's all I ate! I got creative for dinner, but essentially it was still just salad. That is all, carry on with your day!

DAY 143 - Wednesday December 11th

Info: So I have been getting the recipes ready to post, and I have come to the conclusion that the soups (other than the buffalo) need a little more tinkering before I am ready to stick them on the site. I subbed coconut flower in to the cream of mushroom for example, and it made it grainy. In my opinion I don't want my soup grainy. So I need to do a few other experiments before I am ready to put those out. It was great in the casserole, but not so much as a standalone. And if I am not happy with it, I definitely don't want to pass it on to you guys. I'll be working on them over the next few weeks and get them up, but just wanted to let you all know what the status was on those. Buffalo chicken soup on the other hand.....the recipe is set, I just need to get some more photos and that one will be making an appearance (finally I know, sorry!) soon.

DAY 144 - Thursday December 12th

Info: I slept like crap last night for some reason, couldn't fall asleep at all. Last time I remember looking at the clock it was 1:04am. That sucks when you get up at 4:30am.......Needless to say I was a bit tired today, when I got off work, I immediately crashed on the couch for a few hours. I wish I could attribute my energy loss to not eating right or something, but this was just straight exhaustion! Going to try and get to bed earlier tonight, hopefully it doesn't end up like last night again!


 

Food Log: 


Breakfast: Mixed greens salad (romaine, iceberg, carrots, celery) with seasoned ground beef, OOM/hot sauce dressing
 

Lunch: Mixed greens salad (romaine, iceberg, carrots, celery) with seasoned ground beef, OOM/hot sauce dressing. This time I got a little crazy though and added a boiled egg!

 

Dinner: Cream of mushroom soup (Paleo Style) with seasoned ground beef added, and raw carrots and cauliflower on the side. Almond butter for fat. Like I said yesterday this soup needs a little tweaking, it's still really tasty, but too grainy. I think I have the solution, just need to make another batch and try it out!

Snack: none

DAY 145 - Friday December 13th

Info: Back is back at it again, but I think I have it about 90% figured out. When i don't exercise or get some sort of stretch or physical resistance, it starts to tighten up and causes pain. I have pretty strong legs, and I think the issue is that my hamstrings get tight and cause whats going on. Good reason to get off my butt and make sure I am doing something right?


 

Food Log: 

 
Breakfast: Mixed greens salad (romaine, iceberg, carrots, celery) with seasoned ground beef, OOM/hot sauce dressing 
 
Lunch: Mixed greens salad (romaine, iceberg, carrots, celery) with seasoned ground beef, OOM/hot sauce dressing. This time I got a little crazy though and added a boiled egg!
 

Dinner: Was getting tired of salads, so I created a burger. It's called the OMFG burger!!
 

photo%284%29.JPG OMFG Was this tasty!

OMFG Burger - fresh lean ground beef with onion powder, salt and pepper kneaded in, pan cooked and basted with Franks Red hot. Placed on a bed of romaine lettuce, AND, AND topped with Black olive, onion, Kosher dill relish, OOM, and smoked oyster tapenade. Yep it was OMFG delicious!
