Happy Birthday to your son, the cake sounds great! My eldest daughter is 17 today, a second year Law student at Uni and has this morning got back from back-packing around Europe - she makes me feel VERY old! What do you use as the pasta bit of your lasagne?

Another day another run!
4.5 miles done which just leaves my 7 miler on saturday

Had a text off my boss last night asking if I could work in the kitchen tonight and sunday as 2 chefs quit on tuesday and we cant borrow anyone from another branch for those days.
I will be making desserts and doing the potwash which is cool as I quite often make my own desserts when the kitchen is busy so Im quite looking forward to it

I enjoyed working in the kitchen again last night and the head chef was saying I should consider training on other stations as I was pretty good
Due to taking on a new assistant manager the servers are fighting over hours at the moment and we have all took a dip in hours so it might be a good idea to split my time between the kitchen and front of house to guarantee my hours as they are short in the kitchen. Might speak to the boss

Todays food will be

Breakfast - Smoothie

Lunch - Cheese omlette and salad

Dinner - Beef bolognaise with courgette "pasta"

DH actually went to costco last night so the fridge and freezer are full of lovely primal foods again

Didnt go running this morning as had a really bad nights sleep last night was too warm to get to sleep and then I ended up having weird dreams and just not sleeping properly, am going to take it easy this week with the running and just do a couple of short runs then pick up my training again next week as I do have a couple of spare weeks in my plan and have read that little rests can actually improve the training so going to give it a go

Been for my fortnightly weigh in this morning and have lost another 2lbs so I am really happy

Ahh cool, Ive been contemplating buying some mayo, glad someone else does that lol

I think that as long as I follow the principles as much as I can the odd tweak is ok
I dont really tweak much else apart from having the odd jacket potato but even the primal blueprint says that occasional white potato is ok.
