MONDAY: Day 8
Breakfast - handful of almonds, banana, coffee with almond milk
Lunch - leftover chicken curry (mmmmmmmm....)
Dinner - M made stuffed peppers with grass-fed beef, sweet potato shavings, red pepper, pecans, egg, and love. Huge delicious dinner bomb!
TUESDAY: Day 9 and HOME INSPECTION DAY!(cue trying not to stress snack!!!)
Breakfast - Few almonds before the gym. Met up with my friend Cindy for breakfast and asked them to create something (instead of breakfast sandwich) so had two eggs, slice sausage, tomatoes and sliced avocado. Awesome and hearty. Coffee with almond milk and a cup of tea.
Lunch - heading to home inspection - few more almonds. Around 2:30pm when we finally finished headed to a local bar and had a chicken cobb salad with no dairy and oil and vinegar dressing.
Afternoon - ADMISSION - I was totally NOT hungry at all. I just ate because I wanted a treat and 'deserved' one after being so good and making it through the home inspection. Found these and thought it would be a nice change (also while at grocery store talked myself out of buying medjool dates to have at the house as that would lead to snacking whereas this was one little treat).
Lunch - feeling something lighter. Oven roasted salmon cooked over two pieces of bacon I had left just for a little flavor (didn't really add anything). Zucchini 'pasta' with garlic, onion, lemon, spinach and grape tomatoes. Topped with an invented tapenade (M's idea) - chopped up olives, garlic, onion, dijon mustard, S & P. Not a bad outcome!
Still chugging along. Still a little miserable, but getting much better and snacking urges are going away. Coffee with coconut milk is tasting better. Still none of the euphoric happy-happy-joy-joy 'I feel so amazing' that others online seem to report, but again the clothes fitting better is keeping me focused and in the game. It's possible too that #Whole30 combined with purchasing a condo isn't the best combo, because I'm stressed already. Although, on second thought, having rules about what I can and can't have is probably saving me a zillion calories in lo-carb but calorie bomb snacks and martinis galore. Hmmm...maybe I'm on to something here....
