cavemen. Still, I try not to eat beans as much as possible (I even stopped eating peanuts), but I don't consider them bad. Some of these peoples regularly consumed butter and cheeses as well.

I don't know what you mean by "these people", but no paleolithic people regularly consumed butter, cheese, or beans - none.  Butter and cheese require domestication of animals, and beans require agriculture, so all of those are strictly neolithic foods.

Felt a little sick and called off work today. Staying home is usually hard on my eating, but I didn't snack at all, which was great.

One funny thing: I bought some "Amish raisd" eggs assuming they'd be pastured and all that, just not certified. I didn't realize until I got home - these eggs are HUGE. And the 2 I opened had 2 yolks... wtf is this about?

Meal
Time: 6:00 pm
4 eggs (6 yolks?)
+ 2 green onions
3 dill pickle spears
1 medium carrot
6 slices of bacon (cleaning on my freezer)
9oz grass fed ribeye steak
1 banana
1/2 c mixed nuts

You got a couple of double-yolk eggs. The equivalent of twins in humans. When you have chickens you get them once in a while.

You'll be more likely to see them when you buy 'jumbo' eggs at the store.

That's probably what I got. I went to a local grocer that has fancier stuff (like 100% grass fed whole milk and 100% grass fed beef) and say "Amish" on this carton of eggs. They don't appear (by color) to be pastured, but they're huge and my guess is that they all have 2 yolks, after opening 2 of them

If you meant shell color, only chickens that are all white lay white eggs. If the chicken is any other color it will lay brown eggs. The exception would be americaunas, they lay blue or green. All of these eggs are exactly the same, the difference is only shell-deep.

If you meant yolk color. The darkness of the yolk depends on how much greens they are given. If there aren't any plants for them to eat this time of year their yolks will be lighter.

Sick as a dog this day. Ended up leaving work about 3 hours early. The girlfriend brought me over some food, but I had no appetite. I crashed shortly after and slept for 12 hours...

Meal
2c ground beef
+ 1/4c pico de gallo
+ 1/2c guacamole
+ 1/8c sour cream
3 strawberries

Ok so.

I was reading something elsewhere discussing motivation, diet, and all that malarky and saw a good idea.

When changing (eating) habits, record exactly what you do with relation to that habit for 1 month. Once that is over, you will have learned what it is you're SUPPOSED to be doing. For the next month, only record where you stray.

I now eat one meal a day and am good at eating as paleo as possible (I've even stopped buying dairy, Warren!). But, recording everything I eat and typing it up here ever day is getting tedious. Especially on Mondays when I need to spit out the whole of the weekend.

So I've decided solely to focus on when and where I cheat or fail anything I've set out to do.
