Paleo Chow - Day 11 {August 8}

Today would have been my parents 52nd Anniversary ... my mom passed away on December 7th suddenly. Like within 48 hours of becoming ill enough to go to the hospital. Final diagnosis? Leukemia. Really. She managed to keep all the symptoms out of view and treat herself (she was a nurse) ... should have known something was up when she had several bottles of Maalox in her purse at Thanksgiving. Yeah, seriously wrong.

Anyways.

Today started off well and should have ended well too ...

Breakfast was a banana
handful of mixed up macadamia and cashews

lunch was 12 or so jumbo shrimp (I caved and used the damn cocktail sauce)
fruit leftover from yesterday

Dinner should have been a blackened chicken salad with an almond biscuit on the side ...

But then I SMELLED the bakery rolls ... I mean, just like the cartoons where you see the vapor go underneath the nose? JUST LIKE THAT I was slathering my homemade mayo on a toasted white bun, topped with a piece of blackened chicken, slice of tomato and big chunk of lettuce.

Could have had something to do with the underlying excitement of putting the boat back in the water tomorrow ... or maybe it was the 2 glasses of half red wine and half pelligrino ...

Lickety split, GONE. It was good.

Whatever it was, it was DAMN good and I'm hoping I don't regret it too badly tomorrow.

Tomorrows another day.

And maybe I'll upload some of the pics I took too :-D
