It's A Great Start! | Day 1

March 29, 2014, Day 1

So today's the first day of my (strict?) Paleo lifestyle and I was thinking, why not a food diary so I'll mind what I eat more? :P Anyway here's how my first Paleo day went.

10am | Breakfast:

Garlic sautéed spinach with tomatoes and cucumber slices, basil sunny side up. Just how I like it!

I'm actually looking forward to this day (well, particularly tonight) because I'm going to CrossFit Eastwood's grand opening and my sister will be serving Paleo food from Paleo Manila!! Nomnomnom

12pm | Lunch:

Lemon basil salmon fillet, spinach, dried pomegranate, cranberries

I was in a rush when I made my lunch since I had to go to UST to get my papers so it ended up in a tiny plate. 

2:30pm | Post-workout snack:

Cashews, almonds, pomegranate arils, cherries, marcona almonds, cranberries, banana

Here's a picture of my trail mix a few hours after I bought it 2 days ago. It said "Servings per container: about 26" ..I think not!

Then I finally learned my lesson: do not bring a whole pack of nuts with you unless you want everything to end up in your stomach without you knowing it. The mix had greek yogurt chips (which isn't Paleo) so I had to take them out one by one.

5:30pm | Another snack:

Banana, almond butter

I'm actually getting addicted to almond butter now that peanut butter is out of my to-eat list! Thank you to my sister who gave me this jar of CRUNCHY almond butter. (I love love love anything crunchy!!) The texture is almost similar to that of my favorite crunchy organic peanut butter (From Arrowhead Mills) which she has also given me before!!

If you thought I was starving myself, I'm not! Heheh I'm saving up half of my calories for dinner!!! (Check out my next post)
