Ok, so it didn't go quite as planned...

When I arrived home last night, Mark had been working from home all day. He'd also managed to commence a long overdue clean-up of his office. This had rendered him tired and unexcited about the prospect of cooking dinner. I felt much the same, after my 70 minute commute home and some time spent tending to the plants I recently rescued from my plant killing mother.

So we bought Indian from a place we've been to a few times down the road. In general, it was OK - not the worst in the world. But it did include bread, rice and papadums which are not primal at all. And I'm hoping they use Ghee for their curries - but they probably use canola oil or something, again, not primal.

We also didn't do our low level cardio. I had a stroll in the sun at lunch time, but I'm pretty sure Mark stayed in doors most of the day. Though to be fair, I was in hospital with gastro earlier this week, and Mark is all fluey now (possible from sitting next to me in the emergency room surrounded by sick people). So the exercise thing is probably somewhat excusable - though I am loathe to be bogged down by excuses and yearn to be a "Just do it!" person.

Let's hope today can be better. So far, I've had only water for today. I'm going to do a little IF this morning to try and settle my stomach (it's still a little gurgly - Indian probably didn't help...). A nice long walk for the dogs is what is in order this afternoon too.

On another note, a few weeks ago when Mark & I were just Primal dabblers, we came up with this wonderful, wonderful meal idea... PIZZA STEAK!! It was awesome.

Mark flattened out a yummy piece of rump steak to form the pizza base.


We cooked it a little before we topped it with all sorts of yummy pizza toppings including tomato paste on the base and some cheese to make it stick to the steak.


Into the oven and an excruciating 20 minute wait while it all cooked! But well worth it - check this out!


This is something we'd definitely do again!! Though next time it might have to be raw cheese to be Primal friendly - dying to try raw dairy ASAP!!
