Woo HOO!!!! We successfully completed 30 whole days paleo! That was awesome! We decided to continue on going. We have both had such amazing results how could we stop? We feel amazing, the food is great and the exercise is needed.
Now for the cheat day… or days. Adrian and I decided on day 31 to have a small cheat. He got a delightful piece of cheesecake with a layer of chocolate on top and I had an amazing mini chocolate cream pie. They were delicious! We also added feta to our greek salad this same night. Day 32 went well and we were back at eating paleo. We took the kids to the Starlight Parade which is one of the largest parades in Portland next to The Grand Floral Parade. We packed up sandwiches for the kids and we stopped at a delicious paleo food cart called Cultured Caveman in Portland that offers some amazing food!!! We got the chili and chicken strips and they did not disappoint. The chili was definitely my favorite thing! We also tried a salted chocolate, honey, coconut milk popsicle that was pretty spectacular. Then we headed to the parade.
There is this lovely doughnut shop right in downtown Portland, you may have heard of it, called Voodoo Doughnut. Now, if you live in Portland or close you definitely should have tried it. At least once. My oldest son Jason advised me that he had never had Voodoo and neither had his brothers and sister. So off to Voodoo we went. The line was as long as always. 45 minute wait to be exact. You could smell the sweet decadence outside. This was torture. I wanted some so bad. We got inside and purchased four doughnuts for my children and headed on our way back to our spot at the parade. I am happy to say that Adrian and I survived that temptation and carried on with our night. We found another cart later in the evening that offered lamb and chicken kabobs. They were probably not 100% paleo but they were delicious nonetheless.
Which brings us to Day 33. Now in our defense, we were running around quite a bit this day and we were not prepared with food. We skipped breakfast and headed out shopping because we had our engagement photo shoot. Finally at around two o’clock we caved and got chinese food. I had a cashew chicken and an egg roll, I did skip the rice. Adrian had my rice, his rice, BBQ pork and fried shrimp. Hey, go big or go home! After that we didn’t stop there. This chinese place was directly across the street from our absolute favorite bakery. Larson’s Bakery. Oh Em Gee is all I have to say. Their desserts are divine. Adrian got an apple critter and I had some kind of amazing chocolate cake with whipped filling. It was all kinds of amazing. We decided to head home and get ready for our shoot. We headed downtown to meet with our photographer and our photo shoot was so much fun! We really had a blast. I would honestly recommend couples do this for fun. It was such a great way to spend time together, be silly and feel sexy all at the same damn time! Great night. We ended it at McMenamins on the Columbia River. We sat outside on the deck with a beautiful sunset and a bottle of red wine. And some chicken wings. And some french fries. And some blue cheese. And some ranch. So, I guess you can say we definitely had our cheat day.
Today is a new day! We are back at it. I’m really looking forward to June. I have a goal to hit 185 pounds by June 30. That is 15.8 pounds. I lost just shy of 10 last month so why not reach a little higher. Last weigh in I was 200.8 pounds! Seriously .8 pound you suck. I got a new fitness plan for June from Health and Effectivity that I am so excited to start. Wish me luck! Below are some fun pictures from the last few days of food and fun!
