Day 24
So if anyone was watching, there were no posts for Saturday or Sunday because we were offline. We were off having a wonderful weekend in Madrid and Segovia at other people's houses, and well, I just could not announce I needed to go write my blog of the day.
I think that Madrid might be a hard sell for Paleo on the road. I never did find a larger grocery so I really don't know what is available for this protocol I follow for this 30 day test. I did not follow the protocol rigidly on the weekend; did have churros and chocolate; I did try some of the bread ( a couple of bites, the shape was fun, but it was dry and meh.) Lots of sausage so if you want to eliminate animal fat you have a problem. Iberico cured ham is yummy. Lettuce was mostly iceberg, tomatoes. We had suckling pig in Segovia, served with grilled asparagus -THAT was a good meal. The fish we had for tapas and for Saturday dinner was yummy too. Do the folks in that region have variety? They such don't use herbs and spices; onion, garlic, salt that's it. Pastries looked too sweet and BIG for me to enjoy. Amazing how one's palate adapts so quickly.
I finally decided on a tortilla chicken wrap at the airport because the prices were so bad for anything more protein heavy and our plane was delayed---and our fridge was empty.
I was at the diabetes clinic today and the weigh-in was 96 kilos with clothes. After all the stairs and the hills I walked since Friday, I was not surprised. The rest of the test numbers are very good. The clinician is happy.
Breakfast today was eggs scrambled with salsa. Lunch was Romaine lettuce with a can of drained tuna, dried tomatoes, half an avocado, vinegar and oil. Tonight's menu is baked chicken and onions with mixed hot veg and a bowl of lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, lemon juice and sesame oil. Maybe nuts if I remember.
