Getting Back on Track

  Good Monday evening lovies! Alright, soooooo, confession time. I have been bad. Very very bad. There is not a word bad enough for the epic failure I have been at eating good lately. I went back to Plainville for the weekend. Anddddd, I ate. and ate. and ate. All unhealthy. Complete with lots of grease, fried foods, and ranch dressing. OH and margaritas. Getting the picture? Bad bad bad. AND, I haven't worked out in 5 days all due to my trip to Kansas. I could have done some simple self workouts, but where is the fun in that? Destroy my body I did. Okay, SO, today I go to CrossFit and just about die. Almost threw up. Everywhere. Couldn't breath... ugly mess I was. Bleh. Sooooo very bad news.
  SO, in everything there is a lesson. My lesson has been learned. Eating unhealthy and not exercising for almost a week is a recipe for disaster and near death. SO, today, I get back on track! I made a delicious paleo dinner that I will soon share, and I'm really excited about continuing it. My body is not cut out for all the crap I put in it the last 5 days. Let's be honest, no ones body is cut out for it. That's why we feel icky and slug like when we eat it! C. Popp once told me that I should look at life as one giant paleo challenge. Obviously, sometimes, we have to eat things that aren't paleo, because they are yummy! But, striving to stay about 80% paleo is a generally good idea. My biggest non-paleo yummy is hummus. I effing love hummus. By most standards, hummus is healthy, it's just not paleo. SO, if you have some healthy yummies that aren't necessarily paleo, enjoy them in moderation. Just don't go crazy like I did last weekend. There was nothing healthy about anything I ate. Bleh. Makes me wanna vomit just thinking about it! SO ANYWAY, eat healthy and exercise, keeps death away. =) OHMYGOSH! I ALMOST FORGOT!!! I GOT NEW SHOOOEEEESSSSS! YESSSSSSS!!! I'm absolutely positive that having bright pink shoes to workout in is going to make me stronger and faster. And don't you try and tell me otherwise. I live in a very nice little bubble of delusion. Thankyouverymuch.

  Enough rambling. ON TO THE RECIPE! Tonight, I found yet another goodie from paleomg.com. However, tonight I modified it a bit to work with what I happened to have in my kitchen because I need to go grocery shopping. Bad. The original recipe was for "Lion's Head Meatballs" if you would like to look it up on her website. Here is my version...

  I served mine with steamed broccoli. It was, as per usual, amazing. I've never had lamb before. It smells terrible but tastes amazeballs. So, I'm sure the original version of this recipe was delish too, but my version was also delish. Try either. Try both. I care not. Just make sure you are eating healthy. I would hate for you to learn the lesson of shitty eating the way I did. The hard way. Ick. Have a good healthy week peeps! Love n stuff.
