Fail-eo

I am going to go ahead and be completely honest here. The combination of not having an excess amount of funds as well as my discomfort transitioning from regular baking (where I could whip something delicious up without having to think) to paleo baking are getting me a bit frustrated. Since I am only working a contract position I am living on a lot less than I am used to. Which frankly, doesn’t leave a lot of the budget of a burgeoning Paleo baker. I have been using little tips here and there but I am telling you I have been having dreams where I go to the grocery store and unabashedly fill my cart with juicy fruits, almonds, nuts, the finest of pure cocoa and arrowroot power. What I have been doing is trying to make new things with the ingredients that I have on hand, which is getting a bit monotonous.

Now that I have that off my chest let’s move onto more positive things. Like remembering the time when my sister let me bake her cupcakes for her baby shower. My niece Brynn is two now and she is a spitfire just like her big sister Kylie. Everyday I am thankful for being an aunt and also thankful that I have enough food to live on everyday. I will try to limit the first world problem rants in the future. I was going to add a picture of those cupcakes but I couldn’t find it in the caverns of my computer so enjoy these heart shaped (non-paleo) donuts that I baked in 2010!

Benefits So Far

I've been on Paleo roughly a month, with far from strict habits. The occasional pizza, beer, hamburger bun, and ice cream have all snuck in. Moreover, I'm poor enough where buying perfect meat hasn't been possible all the time. Until I get a chest freezer I won't be able to buy large amounts of good meat. The biggest thing I make sure to buy is preservative-free bacon. I tried some of the cheap stuff and couldn't get it down. But I can go through a pack of the good stuff (Open Nature brand) in a day.

So far, here's my list of improvements:

10 pounds down

generally stable energy levels

more easily pulling myself out of gloomy moods

no PMS

seasonal allergies not as bad as my yard full of dandelions would suggest

usually less swelling of ankles and wrists... but it's hard to tell because of the heat waves we've been having

sweets cravings more easily overcome

sleeping better

happier poops—this means no five-minutes-cleaning-up, no straining, and only rarely the occasional bout of diarrhea when I cheat

better heat tolerance (it's currently 90 outside where I'm writing this)

less easily sunburned

But really, the best thing is the stable energy levels and mood improvement. It could just be that I'm eliminating hormone-filled foods, but I don't think so. While I did switch to Paleo from a rather extreme fast-food-filled diet because of my travel schedule, before that horrible ten weeks I ate fairly well: pasta with red sauce, homemade burritos, oatmeal, omelettes, pizza with lots of veggies. It could also be that just eliminating gluten has helped—my sister has celiac and so I'm a likely candidate.

The worst thing about this diet is that my mother's boyfriend, who is a religiously fanatical lean-meats-and-whole-grains type, has apparently been telling my mother that I'm going to die doing this thing, and that she should intervene and stop me. Um, no. It's my life, it's my body, and I wasn't getting any healthier on a whole-grains-and-lean-meats diet.

I still feel concern about eating meat when there are so many environmental concerns even about sustainable farming, particularly when I find myself buying ground wild boar that was shipped from Australia. Where is the eco-consciousness in that?

I think that once I finish my schooling, find a job, and am able to afford a few large investments (like a quarter of a cow and a chest freezer), I'll start really feeling the benefits of this diet and feel less guilty about my shopping trips.

Omelet with leftover ground beef (mince) from dinner yesterday. I bought a bunch of those gender specific Organic Girl salads because I don't give a fuck. If a women saw MAN SALAD DELUXE ORGANIC on sale I would hope she would buy that shit. Anyways I'm eating the whole salad bin due to how hungry I am. #paleo #keto #paleoonabudget (at Hells Kitchen)

Afternoon #snack of #greekyogurt (trust me, it's there!) with #fresh #strawberries and #blackberries (the #organic of each are #onsale at @baronsmarket this week! 👈👍) with #chocolatechips on top.

Yummy #sundaydinner of roasted #londonbroil with steamed #greenbeans and fried #plantains. Steak cooking is not really my forte but found this super #easy #recipe by @smartypantsmama at: http://smartypantsmama.com/smart-food-the-easiest-yummiest-london-broil/ and got rave reviews from the resident #steak lover I live with. 😊 Another diet note. Green beans are a #paleo "gray-area" food, but they are full of nutrients, they're inexpensive (these were frozen, #organic store brand from my local Super @target), my family loves them, and I handle them fine. Again, I don't eat according to a label, a fad, or anything like that. I just focus on good, REAL food that fits into the family #budget. (The London Broil and plantains were more finds at @sprouts.farmers.market today.)💲 The plantains were fried in #coconutoil with just a little #seasalt on top. To the green beans, I added some #grassfed #butter, more sea salt, and a little dried onion. Simple but so good. 😋 #whatsfordinner #aipreintro #glutenfree #grainfree #cleaneating #realfood #food #instagood #instafood #instahealth #livewell #healthychoices #paleoonabudget #realfoodonabudget #sunday #familytime #madewithlove

Breakfast after 11 am but have almost obliterated today's to-do list. #momlife Plain #greekyogurt (@traderjoes brand) with #fresh #peach and #homemade #granola. Started with the #recipe for Cranberry Walnut Granola by @cookeatpaleo. I was out of walnuts and very low on almonds. I usually get my nuts in the bulk section of a local natural market but found a bag of mixed raw nuts at my nearby @target yesterday (#walnuts, #almonds, #cashews, and #hazelnuts ~ just raw nuts and the #cartwheel app had a coupon!). I soaked them all afternoon then dried them out overnight and we had #granola this morning! Otherwise, I followed this recipe and it's quite yummy!

Breakfast, earlier today. A bowl of @maplehillcreamery #yogurt with #raw #local #honey and #collagenpeptide mixed in and #fresh #mango and local #beepollen on top. The yogurt is cow's milk but #grassfed. I really have to watch my dairy, but tend to do ok with a good quality one. This was such a treat with the mango on top! One of my favorite fruits, but I don't buy them often. Found them for a great price at my local @baronsmarket last night. Mangos are on the #cleanfifteen list, so you don't need to spend more for the organic. And they are really good for you too ~ they are loaded with #vitaminC and #potassium, but are also a good source of #vitaminA. And so #yummy! 😋 🍊🐄🍯 #breakfast #whatsforbreakfast #latergram #primal #aipreintro #glutenfree #grainfree #cleaneating #realfood #food #instagood #instafood #instahealth #livewell #healthychoices #paleoonabudget #probiotics #maplehillcreamery #baronsmarket #wildomar
