How is everyone this fine friday morning, hope none of you are in the path of the tsunami?

My mom is in Hawaii, but I'm sure she's safe. I'm far enough from the coast to not have to worry. But I'm so sad about Japan. Devastating doesn't begin to cover it.

Welcome to the group Courtney.

my husband has an office in Tokyo - recently moved one of our guys out there. The shaking was so violent he separated his shoulder. He and his girlfriend are sleeping in a park tonight as the building is creeking and many interior walls have collapsed. The office manager had to walk 3 hours to get home, and the biz director is still unaccounted for. He was on the golf course with clients.

Courtney - glad you found us. If you are interested I can email (not pm, but real email) you a paleo cookbook and 8 week meal plan.

Feeling pretty good and clear - it's been 6 days eating 80-20 and without alcohol and I already feel stronger, less sluggish, less emotional and my energy is right back through the roof. My scale numbers are still suffering from the last month disaster, I'm up a pound, but I expect to see that drop quickly in the next week.

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of almond meal/almond flour
¼ cup of chocolate chips
¼ cup of granulated splenda or honey if you prefer
½ teaspoon of baking soda
1 egg


Preparation:

Turn on the oven to 350F.
Mix the almond meal, chips and the splenda or honey. Add the other ingredients and mix until everything is really well combined.

Grease a baking sheet and with a large kitchen spoon turn the mixed ingredients into small balls. You will end up with around 15 balls. Make them small otherwise they will not cook well. Put the balls in the baking sheet.
Bake the balls for about ten minutes or until they start browning well.

Bake at 350F (preheated) for about ten minutes, until they start to brown well. To confirm if they are already done, press with your finger to check if they are hard enough.

Tonight I made, Caveman lasagna, basically I just made lasagna but sub eggplant for noodles. A couple hints if you try to make this, watch out for sugar in your tomato sauce. I had two cans of generic, no sugar, and two cans of name brand, yes it had sugar. Of course I didn’t check until after I started making it, so I will have to live with it on this batch. Also I grilled the eggplant before I used them in the lasagna, added a nice smoky flavor.

I used my homemade sauce, ground beef, ground hot Italian sausage, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce.

I'm obsessing about the 1.5 Sirloin steaks in my fridge. I think I'm going to have a big calorie day.

ceebs9

I'm here. Getting serious about this again. Although I am adding a few starchy carbs for a few days while I get back on track. 1/4 cup oatmeal and 1/2 a sweet potato. Better than bread, right? I'll give this a week and then cut out at least the oatmeal. Also, I am using some whey and I may throw in some cottage cheese now and then. So more Primal, I guess. At least for now. Also, I'm making my food diary open to friends, just so I can stay accountable. Warning...my protein will be over every day. Too lazy to change the settings.

Mondays are my run day... I run to drop my kids off at my Mom's, run to crossfit, run home, run to get groceries, run to tidy up the house (after weekend mayhem) and finally run to the kids swim lessons only to run back home to make dinner.

Carol - Glad to get you back on track. today's crossfit lisbeth post was a great kick in the pants.
http://crossfitlisbeth.com/2011/03/14/all-in/
Also - the CrossFit open starts tomorrow and I'm so psyched for some new footage... It's going to be awesome.

Pyro - Now I'm obsessing about your sirloin too :huh: . Did you know today was Steak & BJ day? Yes, amazingly guys, it exists.

Give him a pork chop and a fan. LOL

The battle goes, got in two great hikes this weekend, 3 hours each, and at least 1000ft change in elevation, so it was a lot of up hill, good thing is if you do the up hill part first the way back to the truck is all downhill.

I may have to make a phone call to a hottie that's always lighting up my phone to the point of considering a restraining order. Just for this one day. Got the steaks, she can bring lips, I mean desert.

Ha ha.......good one!!

Good day everyone else. We are having a family crisis. My uncle got in a motorcycle accident yesterday and is in SLU ICU paralyzed from the neck down.

Please send prayers. Thanks.

pyro13g

That sucks. Praying in my way for your uncle.

ceebs9

So sorry about your uncle. That's really tough. Hang in there.

Grokette

Thanks everyone.

The good news is, he is not on a ventilator as of yet, however they did have to insert a feeding tube. Surgery has been scheduled for Wednesday, not Tuesday. They are hoping to alleviate the swelling and bleeding around the cervical vertebraes in the neck and hopefully he will regain feeling in his extremities.

Prayers sent, hope all turns out for the best.

Has anyone read The New Evolution Diet?

MissKim

Hey guys...I'm not doing so good. I've had a rough week....I can't seem to get back on track. Some obstacles have come up in my life, financial obstacles...suprises actually. So I'm just having a rough time. and ofcourse Im an emotional eater and I'm giving in to it. I have to get things back under control. I already feel like crap. I'm swollen and bloated and my sugar is dropping, I was shaking so bad last night I binged on two bowls of cereal! and then turned around and ate a chicken sandwich and hour later!! I feel like such a weak person. I have to get stronger than this.

Grokette, so sorry about your uncle, I'll be praying for him.

hello to everyone else.

anybody have any tips on how they dealt with emotional eating? how to i get my butt up and working too? i just seem to have lost my motivation.

Misskim, sorry to hear you are having a rough time, I so look forward to your positive contributions here, a breath of fresh air. All I know is we all go thru this from time to time, if I lived closer to you I would be glad to come over and give you a swift kick in the butt, only out of love and concern for you of course. Just buckle down, and take it one day at a time, make the decision that TODAY you will not give in, you will embrace the hunger, you will not listen to the little sugar eating pimp sitting on your shoulder, you will seek out healthy fats, and filling protein, YOU WILL OVERCOME.

Ok I’m getting carried away with the motivation speech.

Grokette

Has anyone read The New Evolution Diet?

No, not yet. I have it purchased and ready to read on my Kindle. I have also Why we get Fat and what to do about it on my kindle that is next in line after my current read.

Grokette

I am here today off and on and irritated this morning.

There is a forum out there floating around stating the "dangers" of saturated fats and I had to weigh in and give a piece of my mind to the point I changed my signature to spark people to stop and think............

Saturated fat is not the villian they are still trying to make it out to be.

Factory farmed meats, fruits and veggies that are GMO's, hormone filled dairy and refined sugar and grains are what is causing the inflammatory response also known as Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).

People need to stop with the bashing on this site. This site is not only for the low fat, calorie pinching crowd. It is for everyone no matter how you wish to lose weight and what you deem as healthy.

Sorry Kim. Stress sucks. Only advice I can offer is to focus on just ONE thing today. Just today. Maybe focus on water intake and don't worry about food. Then tomorrow you can focus on one other thing. You'll get back on track. Sometimes it just takes awhile. (I should know.) Another thing I do is have a jar filled with slips of paper with activities I can do instead of eating. When I get the urge to eat when not hungry I'll pull out a slip of paper and do that activity, telling myself that if I still want the food I can have it but only AFTER I'm done. Some ideas...Clean 2 bathrooms. Do 10 minutes of double under practice. Send an eamil to someone I haven't been in contact with in awhile.

You get the idea. Good luck. Also, KEEP POSTING. That helps.
