Paleo pancakes redo, surprisingly better this morning.
I used the recipe from yesterday only this time I added sliced banana into the mixture in the frying pan. When I flipped the pancakes the bananas became encased within the batter. Then I added some fruit on top. So with every bite I had a nice piece of fruit. Of course the pancake still tasted like a sponge alone but with the fruit it was pretty dang good.
It's a life saver.
Though it's day 5 and I started off well I was still starving after breakfast.
It seems that I am always starving these days but there's nothing I can do because I don't want steak and sweet potatoes. So i drink another cup of coffee to satisfy me until my next cup. It sucks.
For lunch I made a chopped chicken salad with romaine lettuce and shredded cabbage. Use a wee amount of ranch dressing as opposed to balsamic. I can't seem to choke the dressing down on a salad, but it's great as a marinade.
After lunch I went to the mall to get out for some fresh air.
Starving, yet again. I convince myself into a slice of Sabarro's pizza. Hey it was three meat pizza if it counts!! Guilt level-3, surprisingly.
I'm coming to the realization that I can't go every single day for the rest of my life not eating bread, or something sweet. I mean what's the fun in life if you can't have a little ice cream every now and then?
Come on, it's one of the first things kids learn about, "pretty please with cherries and whipped cream on top?!" on top of what? Ice cream- DUH!!
So, with that being said, I am going to do everything in my power to keep to the paleo diet but not deny myself anything, just be a hell of a lot more cautious about it.
But still Taco Bell, Chickfila, Wendy's, Little Ceasars will be apart of my life, just not every day or every other day like in the past.
Seriously, think about it, how boring is this paleo diet?! Pretty dang boring if you ask me, but I'm no professional chef so when I cook, I cook according to flavor and texture, not what goes together.
Hence, porkin, and paek. I marinate pork as I would chicken or steak. I also add buffalo sauce to anything and everything. of course I never added straight sugar to anything but I'm sure the processed meat and seasoning I use contains sugar.
As most of you know, for the past 10 years of my life I have had very bad muscle cramps and shin splints, due to my low potassium levels. So it compensate I would eat one banana per year. To do a little math, from the year 1999 to the end of 2009 I had eaten exactly 10 bananas. Crazy right? But bananas are gross, I can't stand the texture of it. Love the flavor such as banana laffy taffy's but like jello I can't figure out whether to chew the banana in my mouth or mush it and swallow.
So for my 2010 new years resolution I wanted to eat more bananas this year due to my reoccurring shin splints and muscle cramps. I swear I have eaten more bananas in the past 5 days than I have in the past 10 years. Unfortunately, I still can't figure out whether to chew it or mush it in my mouth, but I'm starting to be okay with them. Sometimes I will chew them, and sometimes I will mush them in between my teeth and swallow.
Anyway, so I'm going to do what I can to stick to this paleo diet but not be so restrictive. If I'm starving and don't feel like cooking. I'll go to Chili's and have a piece of grilled chicken with rice/beans and a salad rather than french fries and a double chocolate molten chocolate cake with ice cream.
But seriously, if I want to have ice cream, by George, I'm going to have ice cream! Just not more than once a week.
I'm starting to not crave sugar like I used to but the diet pepsi I had from Sabarro's made me crave sugar like crazy!! So I guess I'm going to have to ban sodas for good. I will have to figure out something for a sub for water and coffee occasionally. Maybe flavored water.
Day 6 tomorrow. I want to stick to paleo all day tomorrow just to know I haven't given up completely.
