#WholeLent #Whole30 Days 4-5.
Feb. 19th, 2018 08:34 amOK, I probably should stop tagging this stuff "Whole 30", since I haven't had a single fully-compliant day yet.
Day 4 was a joke.
M1: sweet potato casserole & collagen coffee.
I went climbing with Bri & had a pretty pathetic workout - tried 5 routes, completed ONE. But hey - Day 4, no sugar, it's hard.
M2: Shay & Bruce & I went to see Black Panther at Alamo Drafthouse & I ordered a Greek salad, minus feta, plus grilled chicken. There were croutons in it that I didn't identify until I'd eaten some of them. Alas.
M3: Bruce cooked us an AMAZING meal. I told him what the Whole30 was & he said he'd follow it, but he didn't. And I decided that I'd rather enjoy a delicious meal cooked just for me by a friend from out of town than stick to a diet. We had raw asparagus, slices of cheese, wine, an AMAZING tri-tip steak marinated in coconut aminos, ginger, & garlic, mashed cauliflower, & Brussels sprouts cooked in the oven, in the cast-iron pot, with bacon. YUM. Then we ate cookies. So the cheese, wine, & cookies were completely non-compliant.
Day 5
M1: breakfast at Lancer's Diner - three-egg omelette with breakfast meats & veggies, with black coffee. Reasonably compliant, although I know the meats weren't Whole30 & I assume they used butter.
Snack: handful of dark chocolate covered blueberries.
M2: sauteed zucchini & Mama's spaghetti sauce with an Italian sausage.
M3: leftover tri-tip, steamed asparagus with Primal Kitchen mayo, & roasted potatoes.
Despite not sticking to the Whole30 guidelines very diligently, I still feel like this is a worthwhile undertaking. I'm eating WAY more veggies. I haven't been eating donuts. I hope that today (Day 6) will be my first actual Whole30 day.
