Primal Day 5

Been eating out a lot since I'm on leave... Ironic I know, but I got a lotta sprig cleaning to do before birdie's 2nd birthday party on Saturday!

B:
Kacang phool @ Mukmin
Teh Tarik

L:
Shepherd's pie

D:
Chicken
Ginger beer

Primal Day 4

B:
Salmon scrambled eggs with a side of salad
Choc latte

No lunch today didn't feel like it

D:
Shepherd's pie
1 home made cupcake no frosting

Primal Day 3

B:
Hot milo
6 OCK chicken nuggets

L:
Chicken briyani
Teh halia (ginger tea)

Primal FAIL on the briyani. Teh was fantastic though...

Exercise:
Walked a lot during lunch. Didn't wear my pedometer so I have no idea how much walking I did. Hanged on my chin up bar for one minute at 10 second intervals. Aiming to do one pull up by end of this month. Baby steps!

D:
Salmon, broccoli, tiny bit of rice

I need to get me a cast iron pan!

Primal Day 2

B:
Mee Siam kering with bargadel
Apple beetroot carrot juice

I have no excuse, hadn't had the Mee Siam in a while and felt like it. So there.

L: Nasi lemak with otak2

Ok 2 meals with sambal is NOT a good idea. Officially feel like crap. Head is throbbing, eyes are heavy, tummy is churning. Need to get off the carbs and chili...

S: salted caramel banana cupcake

D: Nasi minyak, mutton and chicken @ my MIL's

What can I say, this is an example of what a primal day should NOT look like. After 3 trips to the loo I'm inclined to believe it.

Primal Day 1

Am still aching from that 5km run. This is what happens when you anyhow whack and don't warm up or stretch. :(

Anyway, I'm gonna try going primal again from today. Will be tracking my diet since that's 80% of the battle, and my fitness as and when I happen to do any exercises. Haha.

Breakfast:
1 cup hot Milo
3 OCK chicken nuggets
3 OCK prawn nuggets

I know, OCK is not primal but all my other options have carbs in them. So, lesser of 2 evils I reckon.

Lunch:
CBTL Caesar salad with chicken

Did not finish this, no mood lah

Snack:
Handful of prawn crackers, couple of pieces of choc

Dinner:
Pan seared salmon, broccoli, little bit of rice

Not too shabby... The salmon was awesome! Had to have the rice lah. Is there was leftovers after I divided it up between the hubby and the toddler. Waste not want not! Got 10kg of rice to finish up and we use about a cup a day... Yup, loooong way to go!

Fell off the wagon

Yup, almost 4 months into the new year and I'm still not primal! Urgh. Been pretty tough to find primal food for breakfast and lunch while I'm at work... I've identified my pitfalls though so I will be working on overcoming them. My pitfalls are basically avoiding bad food for breakfast and lunch. Stayed away from fastfood for a good month or so but slowly crept back to it since there are so few choices at work.

Yes I know it's all excuses and I can definitely do better...

On the fitness side, I completed a 5km run yesterday which was awesome since I haven't actually gone running in ages and did not specifically train for this run even though I had the intentions. Thighs are aching like hell now. Urgh... This has motivated me to continue running because it does feel pretty good to run... I have a 2.4km fitness test end of May. Need to run it in 12.5 min to get a gold rating. Gonna get the hubby to take my timing this weekend to see how far I need to go.

Tomoro is a new day, need to make the most of it.
