Whole30 Part Deux: day 2

Yesterday was a little difficult.  I was definitely fighting some cravings.  "Why in the world did I agree to do this with my mom?!  I'll just do it for most of my meals, but not fully compliant like I did last time."  These were the thoughts that ran through my mind approximately 5456542165746 times yesterday.  Facts are, I feel like shit (caught a cold), my joints are achy, I haven't worked out in a week and am not motivated to, and I was out of control with food all of October (the sugar dragon took over something fierce).  I didn't re-intro properly and so I really don't have a clue what effects me how.  On to the food.

8:15 am - Breakfast - this is going to get pretty predictable.  I didn't take a picture today either because it's exactly the same as yesterday's.  Three eggs scrambled in the microwave, half a sweet potato, and coffee with coconut milk.

11:00 am - Banana

11:30 am - Lunch:  left over cabbage from dinner a couple of nights ago, two Applegate Chicken & Apple sausages, and a quarter of a yellow bell pepper.

3:30 pm - Apple

8:00 pm - Chili - had beans, so it wasn't compliant

So, if I was really really doing the Whole30, I would have had to start over both days.  I completed a successful Whole30 in September, then went crazy in October, so now I'm trying to find balance.    

Whole30 Part Deux: day 1

Sunday meal prep included baking three sweet potatoes.  It should have included egg muffins, but I digress.

Monday is official Day 1.  

8:25 am - Breakfast is three eggs, scrambled in the microwave (I know, gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes) covered in Cholula, half of one of the aforementioned sweet potatoes, and coffee with coconut milk.

10:30 am Pre-workout - Half an avocado and a chicken tender that was egg-washed and seasoned with salt and pepper.

In between pre-workout and lunch, I did not actually work out and I had a banana and the other half of the avocado.  I'm coming down with something and decided resting instead of pushing through a work out was more important today.  I'm working through cravings too and although lunch, as you'll see, isn't totally compliant, it is 'clean'.  I wanted tacos, or loaded baked potato soup.  

2:25 pm Lunch - left over beef stew, which is non-compliant because it has white potatoes and I'm assuming that my husband used a seasoning packet with non compliant ingredients.  C'est la vie.  

4:00 pm I had an apple

7:30 pm Dinner - Deconstructed hamburgers.  Grass-fed ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder fried up on a cast-iron skillet; two eggs fried in coconut oil; and half an avocado all covered in Cholula (are you seeing a theme here?)
