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!
So nice to read that you are actually a human and not some paleo robot! It makes some people feel better about themselves when they see us “mess up” and call us out on it. Hi I am human and I like to treat myself every so often too and it’s ok cuz I work out like a beast and you sit on your ass so STFU 🙂
Keep up the awesome blog!
I just wanted to know if the Strongbow tasted as good as I remember.. Mmmmm
I think you did fine. Better than fine. It doesn’t seem all that far away from Paleo to me, especially the eating. Maybe I’m part of the Paleo-Alcoholeo camp though so don’t listen to me…
I am new to your blog but love it! You are very entertaining (in a good way, of course :-)), have great recipes and being human and making mistakes keeps it very real. Especially when you’re so honest about them!
I totally agree and did so myself. Yet it was my first time to feel the repurcussions of those nasty i mean yummy super nachos and 2 beers at the ballpark! Holy cow i now realize what ya’ll are talking about. Then even my 11yo daughter said she got sick that nite and though that is too bad i was excited that she saw the connection between her food choices and how she felt! A big, small victory on getting her switched to paleo more too, yippee.
I flippin’ love your blog! You are my #1 fave blogger/person [even tho I’ve never met you, so that sounds creepy]. Keep on being kicka$$!
do we get the recipe for the blueberry paleo waffles?
maybe someday 🙂
Whatever! No one can be expected to live Paleo 100% of the time. Are people really naive enough to think that you never ingest anything but your—albeit delicious—Paleo creations? If nothing else, it makes me feel better for my occasional dietary slip ups. Sometimes there are holidays and sometimes there are days when you just need a drink.
I won’t judge you for your Strongbow, if you don’t judge me for the half a pint of Brown Butter Almond ice cream that I downed last night!
Perfection is boreing! Making good choices daily is whats important. And when you want a treat have it! Happy 4th!
Never heard of Srongbow…I do love me some Bud light lime though! Weird, I know. I just love lime and beer.
I ate a lot of whip cream…the dog, cat and I sat on the floor and I took turns squirting it in to their mouths and mine. And, I had to drink large quantities of wine. That made me feel awesome, not.
Ugh. Thanks for sharing your day with us! No judgement here lady! None at all. 😉 If I had a 100% Paleo 4th of July, it would’ve been lame.
