Good evening Beautiful,

I ate so many potatoes today because they were leftovers from another meal, I don't usually eat that many of them. I also don't usually have a paleo coconut treat in the afternoon, I don't normally snack unless it's between breakfast and lunch, and it's typically nuts or a piece of fruit. I grilled chicken tonight with coconut oil, garlic, some lemon juice, fresh basil and a sprinkle of cinnamon and it turned out delicious. I put my Herbamare seasoning on my broccoli after I steamed it which gave it a nice flavor. The salad dressing I ate at lunch was not paleo, it was Kraft. I had no more organic salad dressing - but I did buy some after work! My blood glucose levels have been amazing since I started weighing my food, that alone pays for itself :).
Stay sweet.
xoxo
