#Whole30 #WholeLent Day 1.
Yesterday was Day 1 of my fifth attempt at the Whole30.
Breakfast: leftover Mulligatawny stew, mixed greens/sausage/cauli-rice breakfast casserole, & Bloodless coffee (coffee with coconut oil & ghee blended in).
Exercise: I swam 2,550 yards in about 55-60 minutes. I'm using an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of the exact details of my swims.
Lunch: the second serving of Monday's dinner, consisting of Salmon a l'Afrique du Nord, cumin-roasted carrots, & half a Gingerade kombucha.
Snack: cup of decaffeinated green tea.
Dinner: Mama's spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage over a truly colorful variety of veggies of thinly-cut zucchini, yellow squash, and butternut squash noodles. My grocery store has started selling these all pre-cut & while they are obviously more expensive than just buying the veggies & cutting them up myself, 1) I can't cut them as finely or evenly as they do; & 2) it saves so much freakin' TIME.
After dinner, I went to Ash Wednesday services, where I was tormented by hunger pangs, even though I had just eaten - why??? I think it was just sugar cravings. I came home & drank some water & felt fine.
This was a textbook Whole30 day for me. Lots of variety in vegetables (mixed greens, cauliflower, carrots, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash), protein (lamb, eggs, pork sausage, salmon, bison), & fats (coconut oil, ghee). Got some good exercise. Didn't snack. One day down, lots to go.
