Saturday ~ Still in Sydney and still cold, wet and windy outside so it was off to the hotel gym for a WOD. I warmed up with squats, sit-ups and weighted lunges before running on the treadmill at speed for 20 minutes. Exercise done it was time for breakfast, love that it is easy to eat paleo at the breakfast buffet and headed straight for the bacon and eggs (order 2 poached) and whilst waiting for my eggs ate some yummy vegetable frittata. Relying on others for your food choices when away is always a little difficult and when this work trip was organised I was not doing the challenge. I had already though discovered that gluten is not my friend and had asked for gluten free choices. Morning and afternoon teas were not a problem but I was wondering about lunch, I need not have. My gluten free lunch consisted of wagu steak and steamed veges, while the rest of the group had buffet cassorole / pasta choices. I must say quite a few wished they had ordered the gluten free. I do wonder what the response will be if next time I put Paleo as my dietary requirement ..... I didn't stay fully on track though not being able to resist the urge to sample a small taste of the vintage cheddar and blue cheese on offer after lunch.
Sunday ~ Home once more and back to work on the homefront. After a sleep in , housework and shopping done we took the dogs for a walk. They enjoy walking along the foreshore and exploring as much as we do, however it took a while for Rafiki to settle he is used to me taking him for a run (or should I say he takes me for a run). He wasn't sure he liked this just walking thing, Hunter on the other hand loves to amble stopping to sniff and explore all the foriegn scents out and about. Again today I have had dairy in my coffee but on a whole back on track so to speak. Looking forward to the next half of the challenge.
All tuckered out
