Well, I'm still alive. I actually feel pretty good today. I had breakfast and lunch at Nickel's Diner. You have to love a restaurant where everyone knows you are doing an eating challenge and talks to you about it when you order. I even got to see the recipe for the balsamic vinaigrette to make sure it was compliant. Thanks Vickie and the gang!
I was really hungry this afternoon. I'm not sure if it was that I didn't put enough fat on the salad or the limited amount of vegetables I ordered at breakfast. I ended up eating dinner at 4:30 before I left the office. So, I will be adjusting my breakfasts to make sure I have enough vegetables and maybe more fat in addition to the protein, which I'm sure I'm getting enough of...at least I was sure this morning. steak and eggs...that's enough protein.
Today I partook of a little thing I like to call the post-workout bonus meal of happiness! The Whole30 encourages eating 3 meals a day and no snacking, but if you workout you get the bonus meal! It is supposed to be an easily digested protein and a higher carb vegetable like a sweet potato or taro or pumpkin and very little or no added fat. You eat it right after a workout. So, after my swim, I opened a can of pumpkin, heating some up in a saucepan with cinnamon, and for the protein, I picked chicken because it is what I had cooked. What protein ISN'T easily digested? I should probably google it before I start trying to eat bison or lamb or something after a workout.
So, no crying in my cookies today, partly because I can't have cookies on the Whole30 and partly because I felt good. I had a few Craig moments talking to my friends at the vet office, but that was all purely Craig related and not starvation related. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I have planned a Tucson trip to go and stock up on ingredients! Clarified butter and cheesecloth here I come!
