Full and happy!

It was the final day of classes for this year, and I had a major push to get through it.

No coffee.

I made a stop at the university salad bar again mid-afternoon for a quick bite to eat. Romaine, carrots, cucumbers drizzled with olive oil, an apple and a hard boiled egg - and I was quite full and content. The egg really helps; it takes the major curb off my hunger. While eating my lunch, I was looking around the cafeteria and seeing the food that everyone else was eating. Pizza, chips, sodas, coffee, sub sandwiches, etc.

To be honest, I wasn't envious of these people. I noticed how they were slumped over their food, some had acne, and more than a few were slightly to majorly overweight. Not that everyone with that type of diet has these problems - but it made me sit up a bit straighter and proudly munch on my carrots.

I picked up an Odwalla for a pick me up before my final this evening. It's not paleo-friendly food, but again, I'm not completely paleo yet. It did the trick; I felt great. Was it the diet? The final went extremely well, I was completely focused.

After my final, I stopped at the local Harvest Co-Op for a few groceries. It was the first time in the last two weeks that I felt I had the time and leisure to waltz around and check things out. I picked up some arrowroot, some organic Wild Alaskan smoked salmon, organic chicken strips, and organic 4 oz steaks. I also picked up a bag of organic carrots, an organic cucumber and some more of that funky juice (which I've actually begun to enjoy).

Dinner was some smoked salmon and half of a cucumber, with a little bit of my funky grape juice.

Full. And happy.
