I think I got a little over zealous yesterday after weighing in. I ended up going out to dinner last night because I just did not want to cook, and it gave me the opportunity to meet up with a friend who had been away for the holiday's.
We went to Panera and I spent a copious amount of time looking at the soups and salads deciding what I could have. (I even googled nutrition facts, ingredients, etc. etc.) I ended up getting the "you pick two" with french onion soup (no cheese or croutons or course) and an asian sesame chicken salad with no wontons. I knew going into it that I would be "cheating" slightly with the sesame seeds on the chicken and the sugar in the dressing. But I figured, why not, asked for light dressing, and we were on our way. Oh, and I got a drink and chose unsweetened iced tea.
It all tasted good and my stomach felt fine afterwards but I've had a bit of a headache ever since. :/
So the over zealous piece of this is that it was much harder to eat out than I excpected. The hidden ingredients in food are everywhere and are actually quite surprising. I'm still glad we went out though; the food was good, the conversation was great, and it was really eye-opening. But- I'm going to have to stick to my guns and not eat out until I get more acquainted with the various non-paleo ingredients that are often found in food that you wouldn't anticipate.
I felt great this morning when I woke up despite not getting enough sleep and even had a good breakfast before walking out the door at 7a! But now I'm about ready for a nap and am currently contemplating whether or not I should take one of just try and push through.
Oh, and one last piece of fun news....a down vest that I've had for a while fits again! I didn't fit last winter, but it does now. I'm stoked.
that's all :)
see you next time!
