Sucky Weeks, Yummy Eats
Hey everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates lately here. As you might guess from the title of this post, I have been having sucky 2 weeks. More on this later if you’re interested reading it but let’s talk the Yummy part first.
I still kept my Paleo meal in tact. Here are some snapshots of what I’ve been having for all these times.
Made roast beef (similar recipe as Roasted Lamb Leg )
Today I felt like a little “indulgence” by stopping by at The Counter to have a burger in a bowl.
Every single day I always pass by this place and always keep telling myself to have a lunch here one of these days. I’ve been to The Counter a while back with Hubby K.
For the main course, I ordered a 1/3lb beef burger in a bowl topped with guacamole, bacon, hardboiled eggs, grilled pineapple slices, roasted peppers and sliced cucumbers. The guacamole and bacon topping were additional $1 charge for each but the others were part of the package.
Well in some ways I didn’t exactly having a Paleo “template” compliant meal since I had a small plate of these sweet potato fries, minus the dipping sauce.
I was surprised that I couldn’t even finish them, especially after that incident 2 weeks back where I devoured an entire bag of potato chips in 5 minutes!
But I made sure to polish off the burger along with the guacamole and bacon but left off the sugary sauce behind. Those stuff were yummy!
Good thing I didn’t finish the entire sweet potato fries because after I had a couple bites, I felt grossed out. Apparently my body knows that I didn’t feed it with something that’s cooked with healthy saturated fat like coconut oil.
For dinner, I just had whatever that The lunch kept me full so I saved the meal Hubby K packed for my lunch of the day for tomorrow’s lunch instead.
Instead I just had some fruits – grapes and some mango slices.
This weekend I’m planning on trying out another recipe that my co-worker told me about and I am so excited to modify it to be “Paleo template” compliant. After having sucky weeks, this cooking therapy will surely lift up my mood. If it turns out good, I’ll post up the recipe. 🙂
What do you do to lift up your mood after having rough weeks?
So if you’ve read up to this point, good for you! What were the sucky 2 weeks I’ve been talking about? Be warned, I might sound really b*tchy here.
Last week was an event week so it was understandable things just happened in all sudden at the very last minute, working a bit late at home, working thru the weekend. This week apparently things just tried to catch up and it keeps snowballing and again I might have to work for a bit this coming weekend as well.
Good thing for having a work laptop that I don’t have to be physically in the office but on the other hand I have no excuse for not being able to update stuff online over the weekend.
Today I sort of had a little nervous breakdown, especially after being rushed to do stuff that actually as a result of someone’s misunderstanding. Usually I could just brush it off and let it go, but after being pondered to cranking out stuff day by day for the past 2 weeks, I think I almost lost my grip.
Just like when I was typing this while waiting for the train to depart, people kept coming up and asking me where this train going? Usually I wouldn’t mind being asked, but just today I felt like to scream “Just pick up the damn schedule and read it, dammit. It’s just right there!”
Ok..well, I didn’t. but I was pretty annoyed already so what I did just took out the earphone, pretending I was listening to something, and just kept staring on my screen typing furiously so finally nobody bothered to talk to me anymore. Win win!
Also earlier at the subway, I was sitting on a seat, didn’t know someone sat there (hey there wasn’t any bag on there) and the guy just came and confront me. The regular me would just apologized and be done with it. But this time, I still apologized but in my mind I was like “Dude, then sat on your f*cking ass already! I didn’t know you sat there.” Well there were plenty of seats anyway, but I wasn’t in the mood of sitting down anymore. On the other hand I felt like punching and kicking something. Too bad I just ate, so I couldn’t do any workout even after I got home.
Rants over!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Oooohhh, having to available all time (even on the evenings an weekends) is so stressful! 🙁 Sorry you had such a rough week! But the food looks great! Eating healthily always helps me to stay more relaxed because it makes my body feel good, and that interacts with my mood.
aw sorry to hear you are stressed jos! try to just take some quiet time for yourself with a nice cup of tea or something. it’s so critical during those times to carve out something that requires nothing of you but to simply relax! fingers crossed for a better work week! x
