FOOD:
Breakfast: 1/3 cup strawberries and a banana. ran out of greek yogurt, so I ate it with 2 tbsp of sunflower seed butter. coffee with a splash of coconut milk/almond milk combo.
Lunch: three eggs on 2 cups of mixed greens, two wedges of creamy swiss cheese, drizzled with hot sauce.
Late-Afternoon Snack: scrounged around the nanny house for a snack because I forgot to bring anything with me. Found a greek yogurt cup. These things are so good because they include a sugary fruit to mix in. I could have opted not to eat that part, but I ate it.
Pre-Dinner Snack: I didn’t have enough time to make dinner after work before going over to my co-op orientation, so I grabbed a hard boiled egg on the way out the door. I was seriously staaaarving but didn’t want to pig out on something convenient at the grocery store. The egg worked surprisingly well to hold off my hunger.
Dinner: I got home at almost 9 and didn’t want to cook a big thing, so I purchased a packaged fake meat pattie thing that was soy and wheat free. eh. not the best but it worked. ate two of those (for 20g of protein, though probably cheap protein), with saurkraut, salsa, goat cheese, and mixed greens.
Pre-bed snack: 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter dipped in coconut flakes on a spoon. 
+no gym because of my orientation from 6:30-8:30. I rode my 9 mile bike commute.
i was reading this yesterday and thought of you, re: cheese:

Thanks, Kimmy! Our gym doesn’t preach strict paleo and I knew dairy/butter wasn’t a strict no, and they definitely encourage starchy veggies. So this link you sent seems very similar in principle. It was a good reminder and explanation for why, though. Much appreciated. It’s put my mind at ease a bit! The dairy I do eat is pretty integral for me reaching my protein levels while still allowing for some variety in my diet so I’ll gladly keep it in.
on that note. Happy birthday!!!!! Go eat some cake!!!
