What’s up with the picture for this blog post? I don’t know either. I just needed something and it was all that was going to work. I can’t put half naked pictures of myself on the title page and that seems to be all I have on my phone at this point. Did you just click that link thinking there would be naked pictures of myself on there? You creep.
This blog post is actually about what I ate yesterday. If you are bored already, I understand if you leave now. I’ll be sad though.
Thursday was an odd day, just in the fact that I didn’t eat breakfast. That seriously hardly NEVER happens, unless I decide to fast. Which usually doesn’t happen nowadays. Fasting makes me emotional. Last thing I need in my life is to be more emotional than I already am. Especially if I have a crush. Being a basket-case won’t make him attracted to me. Dating facts. I looked them up.
So I started my day off with an Americano with heavy cream around 8:30am. I drank a sip of the heavy cream before I poured it in my coffee. I always feel like people are looking at me at Starbucks when I do this. But they aren’t. No one gives a rats ass.
Then I worked out with Jason at 10:30am. Handstand push ups, front squats, and toes to bar. Then we did some partner fireman carries. That was fun. I didn’t know I could carry a grown man like that. Yay! After our workout, around 12:00pm, I drank down a protein shake with coconut water and Simply Pure Nutrients Chocolate Recovery Fuel. It was delicious.
Once I got home and began to marinate some short ribs for Friday, I finally ate a real meal which included some asparagus (probably 10-12 spears) grilled chicken (about 3.5 ounces) and 1/4 avocado, topped with hot sauce. Effing delicious. That meal never gets old. Asparagus consumption has been at an all time high. My pee smell is inappropriate. How I am suppose to pee in my crush’s house if my pee smells? I’m going to be alone forever after writing that last sentence.
Then I took a shower but didn’t wash my hair, but still had to use a hair dryer to dry the sweat from my hair. Classy.
Snack time!!! I had a mini meal around 3pm. It had about 2 ounces of chicken, some sauteed onions and mushrooms, and a little avocado. It was actually really delicious unlike the picture portrays.
Then I went to Whole Foods…weird. I don’t know why I love grocery stores so much, but I seriously do. So I wandered for a little, grabbed a water then made a little bag of dried figs. I ate probably 6 of those total spread throughout the next few hours while at work. I love those damn little things. They’re seriously like a drug to me. Or sex. Or sex on drugs. Oh crap. I just lost a few readers. Stop being mad please. I’m not into drugs.
Once I got home around 7:30pm, I was starving. So I first chowed down on a chocolate hazelnut butter packet then made my dinner of chicken, asparagus and avocado with hot sauce on top. If you’re wondering what it looked like, look up. It was exactly like lunch. And I ate it too fast to even get a picture in.
Then Sergio, Sarah, and I all went to Whole Foods to get Serge some din. And really, so I could get something sweet. Yes, I went to 2 different Whole Foods in a day. Normal occurrence. So we went directly to the bulk isle, which we do every single time, and Sergio grabbed some chocolate haystacks while I dug into a handful of dark chocolate walnuts. If I were to have children, I think they would be chocolate walnuts. Then I grabbed some Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips and an apple and went home and made this…
I sauteed some apples with cinnamon and salt and then threw them into some melted dark chocolate with coconut. No, I’m not on my period. I just needed chocolate. I felt like sh*t after though and I didn’t even finish the whole bowl. I felt like I dropped a bomb in my stomach. Don’t do it people, just don’t.
So after I couldn’t eat anymore sweets, I talked to Sergio about writing a guest post on the blog. How fun would that be? I’m thinking about doing some guest post Fridays. So you don’t just have to look at my boring food and obsessions with chocolate at night. It gets old.
In my house Asparagus is known as “stinky pee”. Man I love that stuff and eat it 2x a week. Never had it with avacado/chicken all together! Know what I am haveing for diner next week!
I have a girl crush on you, for serious. Not in a creepy way because I actually like boys (why I felt that I needed to clarify we’ll never know…). But love your blog. I am just waiting on some of those Sweet Potato Brownie B*tches to cook up. I also love your pumpkin blueberry smoothie!!
I just had an Americano with heavy cream @ Starbucks for the first time the other day and fell in love. When you say you poured the heavy cream, do you bring your own? Jw bc I never bring Starbucks home- I always get it on the go…now that I think about it, you prob bring it to work and have some in the fridge there. Ahhh, lightbulb! Anyway, I know it’s the drink of choice for Paleo people, and obvs gass-fed heavy cream is gonna be the best choice….but here I can only find organic ultra-pasteurized heavy cream & organic pastured half & half…so my question is – is the heavy cream still a better/more Paleo choice, even though it’s ultra-pasteurized…or should I stick to the half & half, since it’s pastured?
I’m wondering this too – I just started with the Americanos also!! I usually just ask for heavy cream but I feel like it’s an awful lot. But same as you Chrissy, I get it on the go, so I don’t bring my own… Juli any thoughts?
I ask for heavy cream on the side and put my own amount in! I always feel like coffee shops over do it
I was imagining you slyly sipping the cream directly from the community milk/cream/half and half station at starbucks before you poured it in… it makes the story better! lol!
I ask for heavy cream on the side. It’s totally up to you Chrissy. I don’t worry a ton about that kind of stuff but I don’t do heavy cream americanos every day anymore either. I like my own coffee at home with coconut milk in it.
Ohh, gotcha. I’ll stick to the pastured stuff at home. & I’m totally gonna start asking for it on the side, too. Thanks!
Not everyone gets stinky pee from asparagus…apparently it is a genetic thing. Some people do. Some people don’t. Kind of like how some people can roll their tounges and others cannot! I for one eat asparagus and urinate smell free! Interesting.
So just stumbled across your site. *speechless* In a good way. I think I found paleo heaven. I am fighting the urge to say “i love you and you’re site is awesome” because it sounds super over done but crap I just said it soo. I stand by it. 😉 Keep rockin’ out the awesome posts!
I am now addicted to dried figs,thanks to you. The perfect portable sweet snack. You rock, keep up the good work!
I feel like I live in grocery stores!!!!
it’s actually nice to read what you eat in a day…it makes me feel less like a crazy person for constantly eating basically the same things and also for mindlessly shoving chocolate in my mouth until my stomach hurts. fact. so thank you.
you should apologize less. you’re clearly interesting enough to have billions of followers. or stalkers. or whatever we are. hahaha. but maybe you’re just being modest…
you should write about training every. i’d be interested in reading it…maybe you’re not interested in writing it but every once in a while it’d be cool. I actually wanted to ask you if you had any recommendations for training more than just once a day…like how you break it up, what you do (i remember you said once you strength train almost every day?) anyway, i was just curious.
thanks for the post!
whoa, now who talks too much…
haha I like how much you talk Kate! And I wish it were billions, that’d be badass!! But I’ll definitely write a post about how I train!!
food consumption IS exciting!!! i love reading your posts, so entertaining and informative yet totally honest.. and its great to know im not alone in my constant battle with sweet things!
i recently started to paleo-zone, and wanted to ask how many blocks would you normally have?
oh and i agree with kate, i’d definately be interested in reading about how you train as well!!!
thanks for your awesomeness 🙂
I am so glad my niece told me about your blog. THANK THANK YOU. I have been looking for some great and healthy choices and i found you. I also love the way you write.. and your sense of humor…
Thank you.
