Yikes! It's been awhile on here.
Okay, okay. I've been bad. I've given into the fall and Halloween season, but it's my favorite holiday! And we've gotten a new wave of happy residents and vendors and other managers at different properties bringing in delicious food and Halloween candy for us office gals. How can you say no, when they're waiting for you to take a bite into what they've brought? I can't be rude ;)
Honestly, though. I need to think of a new thing to say to gently turn the treats down. A white lie? "This looks SO good! I just had a huge lunch, I can't wait to have this for dessert"? Any thoughts or ideas?
So, I've taken on a new task: Paleo November. I've really gotten into the lifestyle and have done weeks of research. I'm going a full 30 days paleo. However, during this time period, I'm going to focus on health and what my body is telling me. So, I'm not counting calories. BUT to stay on track, I'll keep a food journal.
BEGINNING TODAY.
Saturday, October 27th: Breakfast: Smoothie, comprised of 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup plain coffee.
