#whole30 WholeLent, Day 32.

Sleep: superb. I even had a lie-in this morning, reading my Kindle with hotpantsgalore curled up on one side & a contraband Puppeh tucked in under the covers on the other side. 10 PM - 7:30 AM, laid in until 8:30 AM.

Breakfast: Rupert's at the Edge. Scrambled eggs, sausage, potato pancakes, canteloupe. I love this restaurant. Friendly, fast, decent prices, & a great view across Sloan's Lake of the downtown skyline.

Lunch: ummmm, a bunch of garlic-stuffed olives. FAIL.

Dinner: super-fail! hotpantsgalore & weedweasel, assuming my Whole30 is over, made plans for us to go out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. I tried to stick to legumes, but I broke down & had tortilla chips & corn tortillas. I will have to change my reintroduction schedule - maybe 3 or 4 days back on the Whole30 before resuming introductions.

Later: went out to El Chapultepec to see Sammy Dee wail some blues. One gin & tonic, two tequila shots. Oh boy.

Reintro notes: I didn't notice any ill effects from going off-plan, other than feeling like a cheat. However, I want to make sure I do this carefully. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to do three days of Whole30 eating & then do a proper reintroduction of non-gluten grains. Mmm, rice!

#whole30 WholeLent, Day 33.

Sleep: wellll, we were out LATE with Bobo Bro, watching Sammy Dee Morton tear up some blues at El Chapultepec. I think I was in bed around 1 AM. Shadeaux got me up at 7:30 AM. Not gonna lie, I'm sleepy. Totally worth it though, because Sammy Dee is the man.

Breakfast: didn't eat until late. I had the last of the beef bourguignon, a grapefruit, & a cup of black Constant Comment tea. A weird - but oddly tasty! - meal.

I made a new breakfast recipe: Sausage & Spinach Breakfast Casserole. There's only four eggs in the 9x13 baking dish, along with about 5 cups of greens, a whole head of cauliflower, & a pound of pork breakfast sausage. It also contains bone broth, coconut milk, & some seasonings. It's a bit of a production to prepare, but it provides a TON of cruciferous & leafy green vegetables first thing in the morning. A worthwhile trade in my book.

Lunch: slice of the S&SBC (yummy!), kombucha.

Dinner: Hamburger (no bun), lettuce, tomato, & mayo; roasted sweet potato wedges; spicy dill pickles; & jicama salad.
