Day 16 Highlight: back to work today means less snacking. I think that’s good. Lowlight: nothing today!
Day 17
Highlight: bacon! It took me a while to make it to the whole foods so I could find bacon without added sugar. Mmmmmm. I missed it.
Lowlight: none today either.
Day 18
Highlight: ran most of a mile today. It’s been a long time my friends.
I also toasted some almonds with paprika on some and cumin on others. Why haven’t I done that before?!
Lowlight: it is hard to keep enough protein cooked and ready to go. I know I’ve said that before, but I still haven’t gotten better at that. I think that made the tortillas on my counter call my name even louder. Shut your mouth tortillas!
Day 19
Highlight: friends and dinner! Thank you Sara!
Also, I made mayonnaise today. Pretty easy that.
Lowlight: I had a bit of a headache. Pretty sure I didn’t eat enough early on, but it was a busy day!
And, cooking is an art; you can’t create at a satisfying level if you can’t taste it! I wonder what chefs do on a whole30?
Not pictured: a handful (or two) of nuts and olives.
Day 20 Highlight: the ghee I ordered at the start of my whole30 came in today! I know I can make my own. And I have before. But I didn’t want to and I had a coupon. Buttery goodness at dinner time (and now I smell it coming out of my pores, which is odd).Also, egg salad at lunch! Delicious!
Lowlight: pilling raw chicken juice all over the floor and my legs. Pretty much my worst nightmare. I’m OCD with chicken in the kitchen; bleach for days. Sigh.
