Treat yo' self!

Being on vacation means compromises and making changes to your Paleo lifestyle simply because you cannot be 100% sure of what's in your food no matter how many times you ask a server.

Last night we decided to eat at a French bistro in Palm Springs. We did our best to make wise choices. I had 2 filet medallions and tiger shrimp with brocollini and au gratin potatoes and Eb had Mahi Mahi crusted in coconut with rice and asparagus. Needless to say, we loved our dishes but we switched plates entirely!!!

I was way more into the fish and she the steak. We did the best we could and probably ingested things we shouldn't but we didn't beat ourselves up.

After dinner we walked about 3/4 of a mile to find this cute dessert place "Crave" and had some dessert. Thankfully I didn't get any adverse reactions to the Tiramisu I had! Ha. Eb had this wonderful mouse dessert and just loved it.

It's nice to treat yourself and allow yourself to eat fine, decedent food because you enjoy it differently and don't need as much.

We had this discussion yesterday, I need much less to fill me up than I use to. It's so lovely. I eat until I'm satisfied and walk away from it. Simple as that... Now. It use to be much harder for me to get full or I would eat until I was over full. But now I can pay much closer and better attention to my stomach.

But my main point was to say, treat yo'self. Don't be a dictator and don't beat yourself up. Do what you need to and what feels right :)
