I’m completely failing at this “avoid Paleo foods” thing. I’m doing fabulous at avoiding grains but dairy seems to be a whole different story. Yesterday, my friend Ida was in town and wanted to take me to Cold Stone for my birthday since she had missed me last week. Who am I to argue?
Last time I was there, I had gotten the dark chocolate frozen yogurt and it was fabulous! Lower in calories at 180 for a “Like It” (let’s not talk about my mix ins though). But… I’m not supposed to be having dairy! Normally the only dairy I have is in my coffee but its been an onslaught lately! ::sips coffee with creamer::
In other news, I was feeling rather fit and thin this morning so I snapped a picture. I feel sporty and athletic in it! This was before my run. I went to the park to meet up with the new runner friend and somehow we missed each other. I texted her and haven’t heard anything. Weird. I decided after 20 minutes that I would head out for my run on my own. It was SO HOT. I ran through the park, which was only a half mile, and then took the first turn to loop back around through town. Ended up doing about 1.5 miles. I just couldn’t take the heat. On the bright side, this was the first time I had been to this park and its really pretty! It’s small but it’s near downtown which has lots of beautiful buildings so I can enjoy the nature and then the architecture. This might be my new running spot!
Did you noticed my photos are a little long? That’s because the camera on my phone works again! Yay! It hasn’t worked in almost a year. You have no idea how excited this makes me. Corrupted files were causing problems but I fixed it!
Anyway, plan for tonight is to use my free pass at the YMCA. Alissa is joining me. She is going to swim while I check out Zumba. Then its time for Body Pump. THEN she wants to go to the Yoga class. I’ll be at the gym for 3 hours tonight! That’s means 4 workouts today!! Have to use that free pass to the max I can’t wait for yoga though. Ida (picture above) also got me a new yoga mat with a carrying strap for my birthday, and my legs have been twitchy from running. Need to really stretch them out!
Have a great Thursday everyone!
PS. Posted a book review earlier for Paleoista. Check it out!
Jealous! I want to hang out with you and Ida!!!!
This all sounds like a lot of fun! It’s GREAT when we give ourselves credit for doing great things. I’m with you: if I got a free pass to something, I’d want to use everything I could 🙂
I started a (very bad) period yesterday. I did okay til nighttime (ruhroh), then had SIX (they are tiny for bread) slices of gluten-free udi’s bread with Earth Balance. OMG. SIX??? Yeah, cos 3 wasn’t enough. I did one of those “throws up hands in defeat.” I really, really, really WANTED bread and butter (ish).
So far, I haven’t had the negative side effects but I bet they’ll come. While I can get away with a little non-gluten grains, an overage usually means being bound up (painfully bloated colon, spasms due to that and finally…) here we go, Ang: lots of GRAINY poo that comes out little at a time over a few days. It like turns to concrete in there, then has to slowly break up. If you really think (*I*) about it, you wouldn’t do it anymore. But I can’t seem to go off it for good 🙁
Dairy is easy for me to give up (while I usually have some once a month, I’d be just as happy eating coconut milk, soy (since I already do soy) or almond milk stuff. Heck, coconut milk tastes BETTER than any dairy! (well, to me)
Live and learn does not apply when it comes to bread and ice cream (and maybe pasta). ::sigh::
