Being social and paleo does not mix
Yesterday morning was fine, went and did my weekly hunt for food , walked around the markets and got my meat eggs fruit vegtbles and can home and got my Grok on with some Bacon and eggs. All was good this was the aniversery of my second week on paleo. Or week 2 eating a primal diet, then came the challenge friends.and forien places. We decided to got out for the day and check out a new city.
I had 3 meals away from home and although o took a back pack full of fruit with me, it was impossible eating full primal. The first place we stopped of for lunch I managed to just about get away with it by having the salmon salad, although this did come with bread and included baby potatoes, and a bread roll. There was nothing on the whole menu that was purely carb free. Then we stopper for coffees which included sugar, another hit to the system, allot the way we visited relatives who brought out cups of milky tea with buiscuits and cakes, I had to oblige and have a little cake, the evening meal was meat and veg but the veg was peas sweetcorn and potatoes.
The strange thing was and its not like any other type food regime I've been on , I actully felt offended to have to eat the cakes and other carb , like substances. The paleo and primal way of eating really resonates with my self. It feels like the right thing my body needs. After all this sugar and processed foods yesterday, I went to sleep feeling exreemly lathargic. And once again this morning the headache , which I now get after a sugar crash came back.
Almost every meal on the menu came with some type of potatoes, chips fries boiled and mashed.
Today I've.spent the time getting my meals ready for the week baking up some chicken and bacon.
The challenge is social , I can be clean and eat only foods that are simple and fresh , as soon as things start to get a little social all the sugars and crappy starts to turn up again.
Watched as an fat unhappy man sat and drank a cup of coke, which he paid allot for resturant prices he sat alone and gulped it down, a little dribbled down his face and on to his shirt, after the cup was empty . He orders 1 more and repeated the process, this time spilling a little across the table as he awkwardly returned to his seat. After that second cup of coke was gone he left.
Primal upper body, today while trying to loose the head ache , I've been on the pullup bar doing static hold pull ups, holding in a static position for as long as possible the pull up position. Working something daily doing some body weight conditioning.
Just after 2 days of doing the plank exersise my core feels like its starting to pull in.
