Date Paste

Delicious and natural! Date Paste!

DAY 163 - Tuesday December 31st

 
Info: Have been craving spinach salads with that warm bacon dressing that is in no way shape or form Paleo, so I looked up some recipes, and Paleo'd it. Not only was it delicious, it covers everything you need in a meal in one fell swoop! (Protein, Fat, carb and a ton of veggies!) Recipe will be posted for the dressing here shortly under "sauces" in the side bar, the rest is very simple!

Food Log: 

Breakfast: Spinach salad with chicken, onion, mushroom, hard boiled egg, bacon crumbles and warm bacon dressing done Paleo style.

Lunch feast!

    
Lunch: 3 Paleo-tilla tacos with ground beef, lettuce, and hot sauce. Also a side salad with spinach,onion, kalamata olives and mushrooms with warn bacon dressing.

Dinner: Spinach salad with chicken, onion, mushroom, bacon crumbles, hard boiled egg and warm bacon dressing.



Snack: frozen fruit and a Cherry Pie Lara bar. That was my New Years Eve badness this year..... a Lara bar with dinner, and frozen fruit around 10pm. I know not the best timing for the sugar, but I wanted some, so I had some.

Exercise log: None - Being New Years Eve and all I decided to take a rest day. Had some funky soreness going on with my shins, which was likely from playing hockey the other night, will see what it feels like tomorrow.

DAY 163 COMPLETE

DAY 162 - Monday December 30th

 
Info: So I stumbled upon something glorious today, a recipe for some tortillas that are 100% Paleo friendly! I of course am doing a little tweaking on them to get them to my liking, but I assure you once I post the recipe you are going to love them! One of the only things I dislike about strict Paleo is that you can never have a tortilla with your Mexican style food.....well not anymore! I ran through 3 variations today, and will be finishing the recipe very soon.....yeah it's that important to me! Can't wait to share it with you guys! And no it's not really Top Secret....I'm just a wiener like that LOL!

Here is a teaser for now.....recipe for these soon to follow!

Food Log: 

Breakfast: 3 Paleo-tilla tacos with chicken, lettuce, and hot sauce. Dill OOM for fat.

Lunch: 1 larger Plaeo-tada (yeah they even make great tostadas!) With chicken, romaine lettuce, black olives, and fresh salas

Dinner: 3 Paleo-tilla tacos with seasoned ground beef, romaine lettuce, Dill OOM, and hot sauce.

Info: I'm the match director for Eastern Colorado IDPA held at Colorado Rifle Club, and it just so happens the weather was 50 degrees and it was match day! I had to pack and plan a bit today because I didn't want to starve, or eat junk, that's all new for me...the planning thing as some of you can attest LOL. Anyways it worked out well, everything ran smooth and we had a lot of fun! No pictures of food today, was too hard running a match, shooting a match and trying to get photos.....buuuut here are some pics of my competition guns that I am currently using! (sorry for you folks that may not like guns, I do. I use them like one would play golf, they are safe, and they are very enjoyable!)

Top: My IDPA/USPSA production gun, it is an Springfield XDM 9MM 4.5". I have added a Dawson Ice Magwell, Powder River precision trigger kit, a Dawson competition front sight, and a Henning competition rear sight.

Right:  is my USPSA Limited gun a EAA/Tanfoglio Witness Limited chambered in 40 S&W. I have added an XL firing pin, conefit guide rod, grip panels, competition magwell, a flat trigger, and a competition spring all made by Henning. The magazine also have extensions that make them hold 21 rounds for competitions also made by Henning. Anyways just wanted to introduce you to my tools that I use on a regular basis....on to the food and fitness!
