Ben is trying out a new paleo diet in which he only eats foods his ancestors ate. I don’t quite understand it, but I like reading blogs where people record exactly what they ate each day. Kind of interesting. So I think I will try it.
This morning, I drank 6 oz. of coffee (french press), 2 (12 oz.) cups of earl grey tea and ate 2 hard-boiled eggs (no seasonings).
For lunch, I ate 1 large grapefruit and 1 cup of cubed rutabagas that I baked over the weekend and about 6 oz. of pheasant meat (also leftover from weekend exploits). The pheasant had been baked whole and rubbed with olive oil, orange juice and ground black pepper and stuffed with a cut-up orange, a few cloves of garlic and some parsley. This afternoon, I have consumed 3 more 12 oz. cups of tea (1 teabag of english breakfast from Trader Joe’s and 2 teabags of green rooibos from Numi).
This evening, I ate 3 unsalted, roasted almonds, 15 raw almonds, and 2 raisins and a pheasant wing. I also toasted 1/2 cup of flaxseeds. They are really good toasted. I took the raw flax seeds and put them in a pan and waited until they popped. I learned to cover the pan in the future. The seeds fly everywhere (like popcorn). I decided to the try the can of wild caught pink salmon I got from Whole Foods. Not bad! I’m feeling very good. I like consuming less salt and sugar than I was eating previously.
I have several short-term personal goals: lose 4 pounds before Joyce’s wedding in April, get my hair cut and dyed before the end of March.
