WIAW Paleo Post Long Run Weekend Meals

Sharing is caring!

Hi!  Happy to be here and really hope you’re able to read this.  Yesterday was beyond miserable.  My two worst fears (dreads, maybe?) hit me at the same time – to say my nerves were seriously being tested is putting it way mildly.

Adam and Emily came down with yet another stomach bug, first of all.  I came home from my run and was greeted by a sick child who needed me by her side the entire day – heart wrenching stuff.  And, logistically challenging with two other kids who needed to get to and from school.

On top of that, my blog was giving me error messages all day long, I wasn’t able to login, and I wasn’t getting helpful answers from hosting support, so there was that.  Between those two things, it was a bad, bad day.

Even better, is that now that I’m actually able to write this, I feel like I might be am definitely getting sick myself.  So this will be a quick WIAW with not much more than the pictures!

WIAW – Paleo Post Long Run Weekend Meals

Rewinding to happier times when I had finished my long run on Saturday and had the weekend ahead to feel good about myself and relax.

image

I had fueled my run with a banana and a cashew cookie Larabar and came back feeling pretty good.  Of course, my breakfast involved bacon!  In fact, I had my sweet potato bacon and kale hash made with Japanese sweet potatoes.  Actually, before eating this I made myself a little recovery cocktail to rehydrate a little – which I’m not great with after a long run:

image

I don’t know the exact measurements but it was water mixed with tart cherry juice, a little ACV and lemon.

image

I follow my breakfast with coffee, of course!

image

Lunch was a bunch of things leftover in the fridge, topped with a fried egg – sautéed brussels sprouts and mixed greens with spicy sausage – easy and hit the spot.

image

I needed something extra before dinner (this was definitely a “hungry” long run day) so had some fried plantains topped with another egg.  Lots of eggs I’m noticing!

imageThis meal looks huge but I swear it didn’t feel huge at the time – sweet potato fries with sausage and crispy kale.  Basically the same thing I ate for all my other meals!  Actually, this is one of my family’s all time favorites.

 

image

Sometimes writing these what-I-ate-posts feels like the very hungry caterpillar – this is one of those days.   I had strawberries and some homemade maple almond butter chocolates that I tested out over the weekend. I made the chocolate from scratch (AKA not melting chocolate chips) and will probably make this into a mini almond butter cup recipe sometime soon, because it was a winner.

So, as for the blog – I’m going to be once again making fun technical changes tonight, so, I might be a bit absent over the next day or so.

Apologies to anyone who was attempting to open my blog yesterday and got nothing but, well, nothing.  I’m hoping the frustrations will be relieved after tomorrow, and I can welcome the Paleo Running Momma into her official third year of blogging on Friday!   Let’s cross our fingers for a smooth blogiversary 🙂

Are you ever the very hungry caterpillar?

Have you made your own chocolate from scratch?

Can anyone dare to count how many stomach bugs my family has been hit with since January?  It’s unreal.

About Michele

More than a little into running and paleo recipes (yoga now too!) but I'm not here to rain on your grains (or anything else) so come along for the ride! I do a little too much of everything (except cleaning), and I enjoy laughing at myself. As long as I'm the one making the jokes, that is. Just kidding. So bring me your angst, your appetite and your frying pan and climb aboard!

    I can’t believe you guys have been hit again! You definitely deserve a break at this point! I was just writing on Meredith’s blog how I was confused last night because I didn’t get to reading blogs until later in the evening and I couldnt find a post from her (turns out she didnt write one) and I couldn’t get your blog to open. I was convinced Bloglovin was playing tricks on me!
    I hope all your blog stuff gets worked out!

      Ha! Yes my blog was a mess yesterday and I’m not sure what will happen with it today. Migrating my hosting tonight so I’m a little scared, but, I think it’s for the best at this point since I’ve had 3 problems in a month after they convinced me to upgrade hosting, and Meredith’s guy said the server was the issue, not my blog like they’re telling me. So frustrating!

    So sorry to hear there is a bug going on in your house! Hope you all feel better soon. It is indeed a mom’s worst nightmare! While I couldn’t access parts of your blog last night, I could still access the post that allowed me to make delicious coconut flour banana blueberry muffins for my family. I am very impressed with this recipe. You have reunited me with muffins after 5 years! Even my husband, who is used to commercial muffins full of gluten and sugar, really liked them. Success! So thank you very much for sharing this recipe. See, the good news is your blog is still very helpful even when it’s not working. 😉

    Sorry for all the blog issues! Always so stressful. I think I am going to migrate providers in the near future, which will inevitably lead to issues, but I’m just preferring not to think about it right now 😀 I hope the kiddos feel better ASAP! Not ANOTHER bug!

    Another bug?! You need some ora cleansing or something in your house (glad you haven’t caught it though!). Even though you ran double the amount I did we ate very similarly (although yours looks prettier :)). Lots of meat and sweet potatoes. Good luck with the tech issues! Changing hosts?

    Michele, I definitely am sympathizing. We’re struggling with sickness ourselves here too, and I’m thankful that God mercifully had my fever only last a day. I still feel a bit under the weather today, but I think I’ll just be taking it easy. <3 Hope you all feel better soon.

    Congratulations on three years of blogging!! I laughed at the hungry caterpillar reference–increasing mileage definitely turns me into a very hungry caterpillar! Kudos for making good choices when you were hungry (sometimes my long runs tempt me to wander too far off the paleo path!)

    Stomach bugs are the worst! So sorry that’s happening at your house! 🙁

    On a lighter note, I LOVE your comparison to the Very Hungry Caterpillar haha! I tend to be that kind of an eater too… now I may forever picture myself as a little caterpillar crawling through page after page of delicious food… 😛
