That title is a fib. And the weights picture is from a while ago. It’s all a straight up lie. I didn’t really eat paleo yesterday. Nor did I care. I wanted to post a recipe today, but I wanted to have a holiday like the rest of the US of A. So that’s what I did. I instagrammed my food experience instead of cooking you all up something, so you all could know what a random day of eating and drinking looks like for me.
It’s funny because people will give me sh*t for not eating paleo, or ask me if the beer I’m drinking is paleo…all in all, you people aren’t funny. Nor original. I eat what I want, when I want. Especially on a holiday. Just because I run a paleo food blog doesn’t mean I’m not a human being. I know what foods will screw my stomach up, so I stay away from those, and basque in the ones that will only slightly mess me up. Like sugar. And alcohol. And sugary alcohol.
So let’s talk about the day:
8:30 – woke up and drank coffee with Laura
9:30 – mobility whining with Laura
10:00 – OHS strength then partner workout
12:30 – went to Whole Foods
1:00 – made paleo blueberry waffles with lemon custard for Laura and I. We ate that with a couple strips of bacon. Stupid good.
2:00 – went to the park to see some good looking people. This is where a Strongbow was consumed. Delicious. Then a 4th of July jello shot. That tasted disgusting. No offense Amanda, just the truth.
3:30 – went to a friends BBQ. Lots of bros around. But I definitely didn’t get hit on by any. Becaaaaaause they’re my friends. Dumb. But I did get thrown in the pool. And took Jake with me. Within this time frame, I had:
- 1 brat.
- part of a piece of steak.
- some sweet potato chips and tortilla chips in some guac.
- 1/2 Bud Light Lime because it tastes like dish soap.
- 2ish sangria type drinks.
- Oh I had a shot of vodka too. Damn you Krystle.
- I tasted a stupid small piece of brownie that made my tastebuds excited for only just 2 seconds.
- And then I split a naked cheeseburger with my friend Garrett. I gave him the bigger half. He’s a growing boy
.
8:00 – Once we got home, Laura and I made some vodka sodas. I drank part of mine but then was just more interested in sleeping. Our friends Brian and Justin came over, but I wasn’t a very good host. I sat on my patio and barely moved. That’s how I think any holiday should be played out. Sitting and chatting.
So what you’ll mostly get from this day was I consumed a hearty amount of alcohol annnnnd not that much food. Alcohol is filling. I know people are going to hate me and not respect me once they see what my 4th looked like in food form, but I don’t care. Just not lying to any of you.
And if you already follow me on instagram @paleomg, you’ve seen all these pictures and you’re probably bored. Jokes on you!
amen sister, no judgement – sometimes it’s all about fun.
glad to hear you can have days like this and still kick butt the way you do.
besides, you got a workout in on a holiday? bah! extra points!
I am just very jealous that you can eat those things with only a pissed-off gut in return. I would have 2 weeks worth of acne, so there’s never a food or holiday worth that trade off…no matter how badily I crave a fucking cookie dough Blizzard. Sadness!!
I’m thinking the people that are all food nazi to you must have a stick up their butts. I happen to follow you on Instagram and my only thought yesterday was, “eew shots….I wonder what’s in that?”
Point: us normal folk would still love you even if you had some kind of meltdown and ended up locked in your closet with powdered donuts. Fact.
Girl….you go ahead and “DO WHATCHA DO” 🙂 I ain’t mad at ya….BUT…..could you tell me the recipe for the lemon custard by any chance?
that will have to wait for another time…maybe in a book…
Woohoo! A book 🙂 I can’t wait!
You, my friend, are a rock star!
Looks like an awesome day… I, unfortunately, was balled up on the couch with wrenching stomach pains! “Drunk” with bad food choices… However, having leftover lemon tart this afternoon… amazing. Thank you for your paleo treat goodness!
First let me say that I really love your blog! And now I’ll say that I totally cracked up because the advertisement right before the comments says “Tired of drinking?” LOL!!
Juli, yes you are a Paleo Peer that those of us who are also on this Paleo journey look up to. However it’s your journey and you are absolutely allowed to eat however you want whenever the mood suits you. Let the haters hate.. we still love you. Thank you for the yummy recipes they all went over quite well, the tart is limping around in the fridge right now and probably won’t see the light of day tomorrow 🙂
Only love! Glad to know I was in good company by the looks of the comments here. I made the coffee marinated fajitas! Ate with ridiculous amount of guac. Enjoyed a couple Leinie’s Berryweiss beers.
Pretty please post the blueberry waffles and lemon custard recipe! Looks amazing. And I love that you ate a ton of meat for the 4th. Wouldn’t be right if we didn’t have to BBQ.
