Day 1 (July 22)

Day 1 - Paleo fail. I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was.

As mentioned in the first post, breakfast was the banana, tea w/ half and half and chia seeds. I refilled the tea during the morning because I was starving. I might have also had a handful of the tangy fruit mix sitting at my desk. All was well and I was on track to eat the lunch I prepared...

Then 11:30 rolls around and a co-worker asks if I would like to go out with him and others to celebrate his birthday. My first thought is that his birthday isn't until the 22nd. Then I look at the calendar, oopsies - the 22nd is today (yesterday - Monday). They are going to Perbacco. Umm...yummy gnocci or my left over Boston Market. Hanging out with co-workers that I like or eating by myself and reading a book on my Nook. Easy decision. I went with the group to Perbacco.

Lunch: two breadsticks (they are really really thin, not the breadsticks you get from Olive Garden or pizza places), three pieces of foccacia, Gnocci ( herb and spinach ricotta w/ basil pesto, summer squash, fiorelli and green beans), dessert: dark chocolate lavender bonet, caramel crema, and caramel, puffed jasmine rice, cocoa nib florentine. Delicious. Not Paleo. Very Full.

Dinner: Still full from lunch, so I don't recall eating much. I know I had a carrot and possibly 2 egg tarts. 

I made lunch for my sisters. I modified the sage turkey legs in Practical Paleo. I used chicken drumsticks instead of turkey legs. I didn't have any sage salt or dried sage around, so I used dried italian seasoning. Also packed a mixed green salad w/ leftover bell peppers and shredded carrots and a bag of cherries. For my own lunch, I plan on eating the leftover Boston Market originally meant for Monday.
