Goal - 125.0

You are correct, there is a special place in hell for people who don't eat Naan bread with Indian food. Enjoy!

I was soooo yummy, but so painful after.  Within 30 minutes of getting home my tummy starting making noise and not feeling so well at all.  Better today, but it was worth the pain.  Last time I ate Indian food was in the Fall.  

Well I had some disciplinary breakdowns over the weekend at the hunt.  This place is a "hunting resort" meaning they have full on meals cooked by trained chefs and I am here to tell you after walking fields all day and shooting birds, my stomach thought my throat had been cut so I went all in.  I have all week to work and eat right to minimize the damage done over 4 meals of some of the most delicious foods I've had.

Sad that I went a little crazy, but no time for a pity party I've got miles to put behind me.

www.fastpaleo.com is where I get all my recipes so far.  I've taken over cooking dinner in the house so at least one meal a day is paleo.

There are also some others out there but I am exhausting this one first.  I print out the recipes.  Cook them up and if they are good and go over fairly well with the family then into the "Paleo Binder" they go.  If not well received, or good, or too difficult to make...well then its the trash can for those guys.

Good luck.

You gotta live life, too, sometimes!

You need to eat some of those green things

Embrace the vegetables.  They aren't as bad as you remember them being when we were kids.  In addition to all the valuable vitamins/minerals/nutrients in them there is an added bonus.  These things are low calorie fillers.  The more you eat of these the less calorie dense foods you'll consume.  You will feel fuller having consumed less calories overall leading to more rapid weight loss.

No, just be consistent.

Can't do it.  The flavors and textures disgust me.  I can pack away green beans all day long, but anthing else green is a no go (except apples).  I won't even eat green bananas.

Eventually, I'll be in a position where I can easily eat 7 or 8 small meals throughout the day.  Until then, I have to figure a way to make 3 or 4 meals a day work.

Absolutely.  Preference is for wild game over any store bought meat.  Most folks just can't handle the "gamey-ness" of it at many meals.  Wild game has a much different flaovr over your typical proteins.  Even grass fed beef has a whole new flavor profile vs. the mass produced feedlot/slaughterhouse beef on most store shelves these days.  But yeah, sub out meats, flavor to taste....play around with it, enjoy it.

I am making turkey meatloaf muffins tonight, should be interesting.  Called for chicken, but I had shredded chicken stuffed bell peppers last night with a califlour rice so I am looking for some variety.

Just get back on track, don't beat yourself up over it
