I've been missing the last couple of days because I had to go into my office to work since I had to be onsite for some job interviews (I normally work from home full time). I really learned from some of
the office eating mishap stories on the Whole30 forum and really made the effort the past two days to
 |
| Burgers, guacamole, spinach, apple and cashews |
 |
| coconut shrimp, sweet potato, broccoli |
make sure I had plenty of food with me and a couple
compliant snacks (just in case). I made it through Tuesday without hiccups and even
went out to eat for my mom's birthday that night. We went to Outback and
since I went there on mother's day, I knew just what to order (steak
grilled w/o seasoning, steamed broccoli, and a sweet potato plain). It
was still yummy and nice to know that I can go out with my whole family
and still stick to my healthy choices. They were advertising a new
cocktail and I have to admit that the thought of alcohol makes me a
little sick right now...and that is good. I actually have a yeast
allergy and shouldn't have any alcohol, but before the Whole30, I would
still indulge in a glass of wine or two on the weekend and wind up feeling horrible for days afterwards. I should hear about both of the new
positions I interviewed for by the middle of next week. Hopefully it will be good news to
celebrate along with the end of my whole30 (whole34 really).
Yesterday I was in too much of a hurry in the morning and didn't eat enough for breakfast. I only ate
about 2 eggs and half of the sweet potato hash...no other veggies. I paid for it and stayed hungry the rest of the day even after eating proper portions for lunch and dinner. That really cements for me that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day!!

| The salad my dad prepared...so yummy! |
My son and I often eat dinner with my parents on weeknights. I chose my
whole30 start day purposely because they were going to be out of town
for the first couple of weeks. They are back this week and each day I've
called my dad to ask what he was making for dinner to see if I could
eat any part of it and if I couldn't I brought my own. Yesterday my dad
sent me a message through facebook
and was so excited that he was making
a dinner I could have. He grilled chicken and we had grilled chicken
salads with locally grown lettuce, strawberries, and blueberries. He
also added walnuts and avocado. It was so great and felt so good to know
that my dad was now thinking about the whole30. My mom has also
expressed interest in reading the book and trying the whole30. I am so glad my family supports me and it definitely makes the process so much easier.
Wishing you love and sunshine,
Sarah
