Happy day 3, friends!
Today's challenges were a) waking up at 6:00 to be at work for 7:15 while still having time to get my coffee with almond milk and some kind of something to tide me over until I could grab eggs later. Success! b) Being at a luncheon at work surrounded by sandwiches, upon sandwiches, upon Cookies/Brownies/Bagels/Every Baked Good In The World. Success #2! Why? Because I literally carted my own package of smoked salmon from the office to the luncheon room. Did I get dirty looks? Yes. Did I care? NOPE! :)
Breakfast: Banana then hard boiled eggs. My tummy was feeling...interesting...this morning so I went easy. By lunchtime I felt totally fine!
Lunch: Mixed greens with cucumbers, olives, pickles and smoked salmon.
Dinner: I was feeling inventive so I browned some ground turkey in a skillet and added those roasted veggies I had last night. Then I let that simmer and added some puttanesca sauce. I poured that in a bowl and added some sliced avocado on top. It actually turned out pretty good! Next time I need to add some spices. DUH. Rookie mistake.
After dinner I whipped up a smoothie with frozen strawberries, frozen mangoes, the other half of the avocado from dinner and almond milk. I decided it needed a little tang so I half peeled a clementine and squeezed some juice in! It had a very thick consistency so I ended up eating it with a spoon and it was almost like eating sorbet!
I am feeling really really great. LOT'S of energy and aside from a bit of a tummy upset this morning, I haven't felt badly at all. I also have felt really good knowing every single thing I am putting in my body. As I peruse the grocery store, if I can't pronounce it on the label, I don't buy it. This is such a good way of living and I know I will want to continue to do that after I finish the Whole30 cycle.
More tomorrow!
