#whole30 WholeLent, Day 36.

Sleep: bad! And I don't know why! I did my pre-bedtime routine & was in bed around 10:30 PM. And I just couldn't fall asleep! I listened to an Audible book for an hour - still awake. hotpantsgalore gave me a back rub - normally a surefire sendoff. Nope - laid awake for another hour. I finally got up & took some aspirin (my shoulders were still tight) & melatonin - which put me to sleep, but now I'm having trouble waking up.

Breakfast: apple with almond butter, S&SBC, & black Scottish breakfast tea. Probably ought to make that a double.

Snack: my first cup of "bulletproof-ish" coffee - 12 oz. strong brewed coffee, 1 Tbsp. coconut oil, & 1 Tbsp. grass-fed ghee, whipped into a froth in the blender (here's a link to the original recipe). It tasted pretty great, especially since I've been drinking black coffee & tea for weeks now. However, it upset my tummy almost instantly, which is exactly the experience hotpantsgalore had with bulletproof coffee back in November. Despite the GI distress, I do feel kinda bulletproof - my bleariness is gone & I feel energetic. (Addendum: my GI distress might be related to the fact that I don't have a gallbladder any more. Fascinating!)

Lunch: leftover Wildtree pork chops, cranberry sauce, apple-cabbage stew, baked squash, small salad (mixed greens, carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, Tessamae balsamic dressing).

Snack: herbal tea.

Dinner: we went to the Nuggets-Sixers game at the Pepsi Center tonight. I was pretty much resigned to (excited about) eating some stadium junk food BUT - I got a baked potato, topped with broccoli, salsa, & taco meat. Now it's practically a guarantee that there were non-compliant ingredients in the salsa &/or the taco meat, but it was still a MUCH healthier choice than nachos or a hot dog. I also had a gin & tonic, which is entirely non-compliant. Deliciously non-compliant.

It is not that gin and tonic is non-compliant; it is that all other things should be compliant with gin and tonic. Mmmmm gin.

Also, what exactly do you mean by "bulletproof coffee"?

It's just the slick marketing name that someone attached to their coffee recipe. I will admit that it gave me quite the energy rush though. Click on the link for the original recipe & it takes you to the guy's website. I think he calls it the Bulletproof Executive. He sells a bunch of stuff like high-end coffee beans & a specific blend of oil with which to make bulletproof coffee.
