Paleo - Day 29 Recap - "Wake Me Up Before You Paleo"

Week 5 of the challenge already!  Things diet-wise and workout-wise went great today!

Got back on track from yesterday's cheat.  Started the day with a partial breakfast-on-the-go...hard-boiled eggs and some fresh fruit from the Wawa (Magnolia, NJ).  Ate the eggs in the Dashboard Diner, and had the fruit once I got to the office.  So far, so good.

Needed to run over to the ShopRite in Hamilton to pick up Olive Oil and made up a nice salad with the following:  fresh roasted turkey breast, greens, carrots, red onion, broccoli, peppers, and a scoop o'balsamic (in a to-go cup).  I think I'm going to become something of a regular there...their salad bar has lots of good (and good-for-you) stuff and costs less than Saladworks.  My "big-assed-salad" from Saladworks costs in the neighborhood of $12 USD, whereas a loaded ShopRite one runs about $8 or $9 depending how much meat I put in.

I've been tasting Chipolte lately, and I may do it some time this week.  They just opened up a location near the Trader Joe's in Princeton (on the northbound Route 1...where Lowes is).  That's going to be sort of tough since rice and beans are Paleo no-nos.  A salad version might work with a double serving of the roasted veggies.  It's uncertain if the pico di gallo is gluten-free, but I'll have to check into that.

Tonight's workout rocked!  Energy levels were good and I was able to push myself a little harder on some exercises that normally give me trouble (like squat thrusts).

Dinner tonight was pretty simple: sauteed frozen veggies and shrimp.  I threw in some of the Peruvian Chile Lime Seasoning to give it a little kick...wound up making it quite flavorful.

Great day today.

Grade for day: A+

Weather Closure

We got the notification last night that the State would be closed today, so another day off...yay!  All told, a short week between MLK day and closures midday Tuesday and today.  The major arteries were cleared today, so it looks like tomorrow will see me back at work. The day wound up being quite productive. We lucked out again with the way the snow came in; the snow didn't accumulate around our property with the exception of the backyard, which meant very little shoveling.  The only shoveling that had to be done was to dig out the cars, which between the two of them took 25 minutes. Hit the gym for the 9am class.  Today's workout was a challenge conditioning circuit.  There were two, 10-minute circuits.  I got through the workout okay, though I need to roll my upper back out tomorrow.  It may be time to order one of those rollers from Perform Better. Hung out at home for a bit, showered, and watched Let's Make A Deal and The Price is Right ...

The Avon Pavilion Stays!

There was some good news in the goings-on about the Avon Pavilion and the business owners who rented the space: the town is renewing their lease for the next 10 years.  The town had originally voided their lease in January once the structures were demolished from the damage from Sandy.  The tenants had an agreement and threatened to file a lawsuit against the Borough if they didn't reconsider.  Well, the town blinked, and the previous tenants have their lease renewed. It didn't make any sense that the town would withdraw their lease in the first place.  They are good tenants, and by the far, the best ones who ever occupied the space (that I'm aware of).  They converted the place into a nice restaurant, and kept it well-maintained, clean, and made it very successful.  If you have a good tenant, why not try to hold onto them? And now the big question:  Why the requirement for an additional 200 square feet of bathroom space?? Here's the article fr...

9th & Ocean

It was a sense of the familiar with a side of strangeness.  Nearly four months after Hurricane Sandy had done her cooch dance around these parts, we finally were able to walk along Ocean Avenue in Belmar this afternoon.  The town advertised specific businesses that were open along the thoroughfare.  I had driven to Ocean Avenue the other day, but the barricades were up prohibiting pedestrian and vehicle traffic.  Al wanted to check things out. We walked down 8th Avenue toward the beach, and saw folks walking and jogging along Ocean Avenue. We assumed it was okay to walk along the beachfront, and proceeded to walk south. A police van was constantly patrolling the area, basically making sure that everyone stayed on the western side of the street and on the sidewalk.  We walked down to the south end and back.  In a nutshell, there was a lot of cosmetic damage to many of the homes and businesses.  One home had some major structural damage, and an overh...
