The Joys of Salad...

Last night was our first attempt at a Primal evening meal, and it was, for the most part, a roaring success.  Main course was an Avocado, Bacon and Chicken salad, with a Balsamic Apple Vinaigrette dressing.  Desert was Berries with Marscapone Cheese.  We also made Carrot and Walnut Bread.  The salad was a resounding success, the berries and marscapone were nice, but unfortunately, the carrot and walnut bread left a lot to be desired.

Breakfast today was fantastic, bacon and scrambled eggs, and lunch consisted of the remains of last night's salad, with a Cup-a-Soup (not strictly primal, but we're trying to finish them up).  It was funny, but after only a couple of days easing off carbohydrates, neither of us felt like having the soup.  Let's hope that this is a trend that continues.

Todays exercise consisted of building a dry stone retaining wall, and filling in the ditch we dug to have our drains replaced.  I certainly feel like I've done my fair share of lifting heavy things for the week.  Tomorrow's bike ride should round off the exercise nicely, assuming that I'm able to get out and do more walking during the week.
