Primal days 4-6.
The wheels fell off!
Sunday - Panda Express, which had potential to be Primal. But I had Orange chicken and some Diet Pepsi. Ate a little rice (not a lot). For dinner, I went to the local wings place. But instead of ordering wings, I ordered chicken tenders. I did order onion rings instead of fries. And water. But more breading... and breading.
Monday - No breakfast, delayed "lunch" (like 1) - Taco Bell. With Mountain Dew 20 oz. *facepalm*
Ended up skipping dinner (was really busy with Vball stuff ALL DAMN DAY much to the husband's and my chagrin). But by the time I got to bed, stomach would not relent, so I got up and scarfed some chicken bits.
Today - Clif bar for breakfast. 2 Tuna salad sandwiches for lunch. 2 chicken and cheese sandwiches for dinner. Doesn't take long to revert.
And why write this? Why tell you about my failure? Because 1) it's the right thing to do. 2) I feel like utter shit. Physically. I'm not beating myself up too much mentally about it. A lifetime of eating sandwiches as my go-to really can't be unlearned in 6 days. I feel listless and tired. Overly overly tired. Last night, my muscles ached, despite not having done anything physical for several days. It makes me start to realize that I might be on the right path with this. That processed carbs really make me feel like poop.
Renewed resolve. Will eat and move Primally tomorrow. Then we get to see the week 1 stats. And I still have faith they'll be pretty damned good, even with 3 days of returning to crap-food.
Definitely ready for the paycheck on Friday so I can get some more variety. Eggs and whatever bacon is left for b-fast. Going to defrost some beef strips... then I can have a beefy salad with my chicken ragout for lunch tomorrow. Then maybe have the rest of the ragout veggies with fish tomorrow night. Sounds like the ticket.
On Thursday I know I'm going to have dinner with my BFF at Carrabba's (she gets a 50% discount, too). So I'm looking at menu choices. Probably will get the Calamari or Shrimp Scampi appetizer and then one of their steaks with whatever the veggie of the day is. No pasta! NO PASTA! Just have to keep on telling myself that.
