It was day one and I was already befuddled.
First of all, allow me to confess that I drank a glass of wine. I know, I know! SO not paleo! But I just moved into a new apartment, and a glass of wine was the perfect toast to end my Ikea-bed-assembly-beg-my-neighbor-for-help-adventure. And – I’ll have you know: “Wine is often considered to be the closet thing we’ve got to paleo-friendly alcohol. There are various organic options – red wine in particular” (Ultimate Paleo Guide). So there you go.
Other than the wine, Day 1 had started so brightly.
Food on Day 1:
- cashews
- coffee with cream (my exception to the vegan guideline is the necessity of cream in my coffee)
- tofu, greens, broccoli lunch
- yam, spinach, cauliflower dinner
However, I then remembered that tofu wasn’t paleo. Whoops.
Um, and neither were any beans. Or legumes of any kind. Â So no hummus. No soy. No rice. Oh dear. No nuts either.
Friends, maybe it was the Ikea bed, or maybe it was just the threat of no hummus, but I lost heart.
Confession, dear reader: I full failed the pegan.
Now, I may try it another time. But for now, I am content so simply recuperate from Thanksgiving and get back to my relatively sugar-free ways. Because post pumpkin pie, there’s some work there to be done.
Happy Thanksgiving lovelies.
