It’s always funny when I post what I ate in a day because I either have people who love it, people who think I’m begging for compliments, people who think I eat too little, people who think I eat too much, really anything. People are opinionated. Either way, I still eat. And I still talk about it 4-5 days out of the week. More if you include my instagram.

Either way, let’s talk about what I ate some random day last week. Then you can judge me. Here ya go.

So I woke up around 5:15am, threw some workout clothes on that I had actually already worn the day before, just because they were the closest to my feet, and brushed my teeth, then went straight out the door within 7 minutes to go get my coffee. Geez run on sentence. I’ve stopped worrying about putting on makeup most days since it saves me so much damn time.

After grabbing an Americano at Starbucks, I went to the gym and coached the 6&7am classes. I have a break between 8-9, so I chowed down on some leftovers from Sunday night grilling. It included a 1/2 chorizo, 1/2 ground beef burger with some pineapple guacamole and 1/2 slice of bacon. I’m guessing the meat was about 4 ounces, but that’s just an amazing guess.

After my 9am class, I headed to the good ole’ doc to get some skin stuff checked out. Always fun having your zits closely looked at. Then I headed home to cook about 4 meals since I was out of town for the past 7 days and had to make sure you were all fed. After making 4 dishes, I ate a handful of carrot fries which was probably 4-5 medium carrots around 2pm.

Then I dyed my hair. Couldn’t have my blonde roots peeking through on a Mexico vacation.

While my dye sat in my hair, I ate up some lunch around 12pm. It included a small slice of my summer breakfast meatloaf. I’m guessing it was about 3 ounces. I wasn’t very hungry since I snacked on the carrot fries.

After getting the dye out of my hair and blogging again to make sure I had all these posts done while I left for Mexico, I snacked on a 1/2 packet of cacao butter around 3:30pm. It was on the counter from the other day and needed to be finished. Lovely.

Then I ran to the gym, in the rain. It’s about 2-2.5 miles, so I was a bit soaked after the run. Real good look.

I then did a lovely workout at CrossFit Broadway of: 30 sec on/30 sec rest, alternating for 12 mins: (for total reps) HSPU (I did kipping) and Pull Ups (also kipping) followed by: 3 Rounds For Time Of: ( 20 min Time Cap) 400 m Run, 30 KB Swings (70#/55#), 30 Wall Ball. It hurt real bad.

After the workout, the lovely boyfriend was kind of enough to drive me home. But we first decided to make a post workout shake at his house. Our shakes included a banana, almond milk, and a scoop of chocolate protein. I have no idea what the protein was. And I only drink protein drinks on occasion because I feel like I get addicted to protein drinks and really don’t need the extra sugar. But daaaaaaaamn, it was delicious.

that's a rockies cup WHILE watching the rockies game. obviously, i was not in my own house. or the E! channel would have been on

Once I made it home, I blogged, then finally was hungry around 9pm. I ate a small dinner of only probably 5-6 bites of Monday’s post: turkey and spinach stuffed sweet potatoes. I still wasn’t very hungry from having that protein drink so I just ate as much as I could before I headed to bed.

that looks like a big ball of junk. it tasted relish

Then I slept 8 hours. IT WAS AWESOME.

Someday soon, I’m gonna post what I ate on a “naughty day”, meaning a Friday night. Or Saturday. Or Sunday.

    So, you are really blond?

    Have you tried the GAPS diet for your skin? It’s a very close relative of paleo. For me personally, there is a huge quality difference in my skin when I’m on GAPS and when I’m just paleo. At very least it’s worth reading the book as it explains why the acne is happening. Just wanted to help!

    First of all love the title of the post! Second to the people who stalk your site for the mere purpose of judging you – a hot yoga class usually sets me right when I’m feeling a bit cranky. Can’t wait to see what you eat on naughty days!

    I think it’s hilarious when a Paleo nazi comes along and rants about certain things you eat NOT inline with the paleo diet. It’s like berating someone for not being perfection at all times. “how dare you start a blog about being healthy food for the most part?!? It needs to be absolute perfect paleo or can go swallow a knife. I hate you.” talk about blatant insecurities….

    I love your blog and even more so because you taught me to love cooking, paleo and NOT being perfect!

    I adore these posts! 🙂 Just got my blood tests back on allergy to foods… in the IV on Chicken, Turkey and Eggs. My gosh what a craZy thing. I eat/ate chicken all the time. Then a big allergy to Green Beans? That makes perfect since%x*&… and Gluten, Wheat and those came in as 3’s… so What do I eat? and I am diabetic with bad numbers. Guess I will figure it out. But when I eat any of those things I do have all over inflammation. LOL what a life.

    I just had to say, I don’t care what you eat, as long as you aren’t telling me what I have to eat. And you aren’t.

    Also, my 10-year-old daughter just made the avocado chocolate pudding out of your cookbook, and she said, “Mom? I like this girl, even though she has a dirty mouth. She just looks so…happy!” Looking happy is awesome. You rock.

    Just wanted to say I love reading about what you eat on random week days. So entertaining! You should have posts like this more often.

    I have the same problem with protein shakes. They’re like dessert. Devilishly addictive dessert. I have one and then next thing I know, I’m rounding out every meal with a dessert protein shake. Whoops. ps. Those carrot fries are brilliant.

    new to the paleo world, I love seeing that you ate at 9PM. The trend in the diet world has always been to stop early, we eat dinner after our crossfit class every night at about 8PM. 🙂 Loving the recipes!

    Haters gonna hate! I love what you do here, Ms. Bauer. Your workouts sound incomprehensibly beastly.
