Day 5 and 6 and Memorial Weekend - Short Stack and Heart Attack

I went to a 6AM "week off" training session and heard the message from our trainer loud and clear. We spent the last six weeks of boot camp preparing for Crazyfit. http://crazyfitchallenge.com/ The next sessions focus, which starts on Monday, is on nutrition. She recommended getting any benders out of our system this weekend. She is sending out a shopping list today. Come Monday we are on a strict eating plan, logging everything we eat. 

She is not allowing any alcohol for the next six weeks. So I decided to join my sister in the Memorial Weekend off program. I am not in Vegas but it sure seems like I am in Vegas with all of the eating, drinking and partying!!! Let's just say Saturday morning I was the most hung over I have been in a while and I only had three drinks the night before. Seriously, yes, only three drinks and I was ready to lose my chocolate cake Saturday morning during my facial. Here is my confessional of all of the bad things I have eaten this weekend:

Mojitos, Wine, Amaretto coffee, Chocolate cake with ice cream, toasted sourdough with butter (for the hangover), tempura veggies, buttery corn, cheese and crackers. Ok maybe the list isn't that long, but this is a complete turnaround from Paleo. 

Jasmine gets back on track Tuesday. Today is my last day of potential indulgence. I'm not making any commitments today. I am going with the flow.

I decided to experiment with recovery food after the workout Friday morning. I was inspired by a can of Sweet Potato puree. I decided to see if I could whip up some sweet potato pancakes. I mixed the puree with various spices, 4 eggs, 4 TBSP of coconut flour and a touch of vanilla.

 I threw them on the griddle.

The first one did not turn over so well. I was a little early on the turn so decided to let the others cook a little longer.

They did not look so bad especially when a drizzled some agave syrup over the top.

They ended up being so nasty!!! They went straight to the trash. If I ever attempt to make pancakes again I certainly would use a lot more flour and some other kind of base. I had to go with Plan B for breakfast.

Lunch tuna salad tacos for lunch.

Dinner at Arch Rock: seared ahi salad, seabass with tempura veggies, chocolate cake and ice cream, one mojito, one glass of wine and a coffee drink.

Saturday's food progression: 2 eggs, farmers market sourdough toast with ghee, pistachios, blackberries and crab salad.

Saturday Night Pool BBQ: 1.5 Mojitos, cheese and crackers, green salad, corn, tomato and cucumber salad and tri-tip.
