Memorial Day! I'm finally caught-up in my blog. YAYAYAAYAYAYAAYAYAYAY! In general, I feel great. Working-out, eating more at home, getting great sleep. It's been awesome and I definitely feel less bloated. I am starting to feel like I'm going to get my period soon. I'm a little less than 1 week away. Will be interesting how that affects how I feel this week.

9AM: I wake-up. 9 hours of sleep. .. could have slept more but I wanted to get the day started. I decide to take the day off from working out.

10AM: I have some almond butter, a banana, and a couple of slices of applegate turkey. I need to eat a bigger breakfast. I've been bad, Meghan - I know!

1PM: We head over to Mike's place for our paleo Memorial Day BBQ. I convinced my friends Mike and Miranda to go paleo and they've done an amazing job with it. They've experimented with a lot of recipes. .. now we're going to experiment together! We make a feast: paleo-almond/rosemary crackers, guacamole, eggplant chips (baked), sweet potato chips (baked), grilled eggplant, my now-infamous (jk) turkey burgers, and brussel sprout chips (baked). Amazing. I get too full too fast. .. I blame it on the crackers and guac!

3PM: Ok, not sure Meghan is going to be OK with this. .. will look forward to seeing what you say! I decided to make Thai's yummy paleo chocolate chip cookies. My hubby loves baked goods and I've never baked for him before. I have the dairy-free semi-sweet TJ's choc chips, so I decide to give it a whirl. I have 2 small cookies. They taste super sweet. But very good. The upside is that the recipe is from Elena's pantry:

8PM: I am not hungry until later. I think I had far too much almond flour. I have a leftover turkey burger with the side of red pepper pureed sauce.

11PMish: Alex and I are in bed by 11PM and fall asleep around 1130PM or so.
