One can frame Saturday in two different ways. If looking at it from the perspective of a 30 day Paleo Challenge, it was a big FAIL. If looking at it as one day of moderation in an otherwise stellar Paleo week, then it is pretty reasonable.
I hosted 40 people for my daughter's birthday party where we served pizza, cake, oranges and salad. I was busy the whole time and had a little plate of salad and some orange slices. I stayed away from the pizza and cake. But three hours later as I was cleaning up I couldn't resist a slice of bbq chicken pizza and one bite of each of the two cakes we had for the party. I should have done a couple things differently--1. plan to have a better lunch than just some basic salad (which was lettuce only) and 2. had somebody else clean the pizza up.
Saturday evening we went out with friends who ordered drinks for us, and I didn't turn them down. I had two vodka sodas and two glasses of wine, but otherwise stuck pretty well to a Paleo meal of duck and no dessert.
Sunday I woke up ready and motivated to start a new week.

Tonight I went to support Jesse as he busted out 500 burpees in 50 minutes. He was a marvel to watch. Talk about mental toughness, not to mention being in such good shape that his form never suffered through all those burpees. It is great to have a trainer who is so committed and such a good example. You are a total stud Jesse!
