WholeLent, Day 3.

[angledge]

Sleep: I got off-schedule yesterday - I ate an early lunch, then had a substantial snack around 4:00 PM, which then pushed dinner back to around 8:30 PM. I had a hard time winding down & didn't get to bed until after midnight. I woke up at 7:00 AM, as usual, so I'm a little short of sleep today. Lesson learned: stick to regular meal times & eat big enough meals to forgo snacks.

Breakfast: prosciutto muffin, slice of sweet potato quiche, small apple with almond butter, black Scottish breakfast tea.

Lunch: lunch was a mess today. I had to run work errands over the lunch hour & I got flustered when I was heading out the door, which caused me to forget to grab any food. So I didn't eat lunch until almost 1:30 PM. By then I was too hungry to actually prepare anything, so I got by on a turkey Epic bar, one coconut Larabar, & kombucha. This is NOT ideal.

Dinner: Dinner WAS ideal - I baked a spaghetti squash & served Mama's spaghetti sauce over top of it. One Italian sausage on the side. Nomnomnomnomnom. I could eat this every week.

Snack: slice of sweet potato quiche, herbal tea.

I went to Whole Foods today & spent a Whole Fortune on over 12 pounds of meat. Tomorrow is going to be a MASSIVE food prep day. I was supposed to be going to a food preparation class with a herbs/spices company called Wildtree, but this class has been cancelled because we have a huge snowstorm forecast. So I got the herbs & spices from the Wildtree rep today, along with the preparation instructions. When I finish, I should have 20 prepared meals, ready to go in the freezer. That will put me MILES ahead. Even better - all the spices mixes & recipes are Whole30-compliant!

I will be sending some of the prepared meals with hotpantsgalore when she leaves for Wyoming on Sunday.

I feel so slack, then I read what you are doing to keep with this, and it sounds so overwhelming, so I know it isn't the right time for me.
That being said, I have beef knuckles in the crockpot releasing all their grass-fed health into a broth. And I actually bought some vegetables. We'll see where this goes.
Congrats to you getting this far! Ra Ra Go Ang Go!

(Beef knuckles were the cheapest I could find at market. $3/pound. You are right, bones are expensive!)
