Don't let the menu dictate your choices - you decide!

Fun mommy & Matthew day together.  The weather was beautiful and our day was "planned" but "unplanned" if you know what I mean.  Everything that was planned...either didn't happen or went drastically WRONG. Sometimes, you just have to laugh at life.  We bought a new BMW and the next day, it wouldn't start.  FANTASTIC right???  Luckily my husband took the bus to work and didn't drive so I was able to grab his keys and still get my kids to school on time.  The rest of the day was late, late, late.  :) If you smile, people usually forgive you I've found.  Especially when you have a US accent.  LOL

We went to a new Poki restaurant that just opened and no one here really knows about it, so it wasn't busy at all.  That's fine with us, we will keep it our little secret :) The only options were rice bowls or burritos (with more rice)...all of which have carbs and all of which ARE NOT ALLOWED ON SHIFT SHOP!  So I said "I'm not eating carbs right now" and she got creative. It was delicious. Don't be afraid to ask!! Or tell them you're paleo and they almost all understand it, or at a minimum, the chef should know!! 

So this is what I ordered...Seaweed wrap (instead of burrito), Kale as liner (instead of rice), raw salmon, radishes, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and ponzu instead of all creamy sauces (could have passed on that, now I know). 

I actually feel like I'm winning because no afternoon slump, I'm full and it was delicious!! It's not hard when you have a guide on how to do the program successfully!
