Whole30 (attempt) 2.02

Day 2

Meal Schedule

I want to reduce the amount of times I eat egg for breakfast. Not because they are bad but because they are so good! Confused? I love eggs and I don't want to get tired of them. It's happened before and leaves me unmotivated.

I am seriously starting from scratch with relearning how to cook. It's kinda like riding a bike, right?

Breakfast

Onion - Diced + sautéed
Bellpepper - Sliced*
Chicken Sausage - Sliced**

Lunch

Baby Spinach - Fresh
Avocado - Smooshed +
Lime - Squeezed
Chicken Breast Tenderloin - Pan fried + peppered + salt**

Snack

Banana

Dinner

Watermelon - Cubed
Orange Bellpepper*
Ground Beef
Potato - hashed

*From the garden
**Leftovers

The onion I had on-hand was... not good. I had to toss out most of it but was able to salvage enough for breakfast. Same happened with my avocado  :( So, grocery shopping soon and a slight meal plan change.

The dinner was put off for a few hours. I had a dinner event I forgot to add to my digital calendar and they served non-compliant food (save for the watermelon).

Non-Scale Victories (NSV)

When was the last time you have done any of these. I know it has been a while, for me.

10,000+ steps

My daily step goal is 8,000 and I normally get over 10,000 on a yard work day. Although I only did minimal yard work (gardening/composting), I still found other ways to keep moving during the day (walk to "run errands", walk around between projects).

Made my bed

Still proud of this one. Do you think I can do it everyday?

Imperfect Produce: A Review

Image
I received a  referral code for Imperfect Produce  while soliciting people's favorite subscription boxes in a social media post. After about a whole 10 minutes of looking over the site and viewing prices, I had chosen the small, organic box delivered every other week. To clarify what making a decision in 10 minutes of looking into a product means—you have to understand—I still have stuff in any given online shopping cart for a week before I either commit or delete it. So, it delivered at the end of the week (that just happens to be when they deliver to my area). I was sent an "oops" email saying that they were not able to add the Organic Pears and Mandarins and would be crediting me according to how much they would have cost me as well as the delivery fee (I guess I forgot there would be one?). But then this email made me realize, I had forgotten to get online during their selection process window to pick out what I actually wanted in my box. My anxiety peake

My First Whole30 Fail

Image
Photo by Igor Ovsyannykov / Unsplash I had my first fail yesterday and I ain't even [that] mad. Though, I am feeling completely bloated. Here's my excuse/reason/whatever-you-wanna-call-it: I am sitting at work, minding my own business when a group of co-workers walk in and invite me down to have my pick at left over – catered – Mexican food. I had just finished my lunch of garlic shrimp with red bell peppers I had prepped the night before (it was delicious and filling) and I let them know. One of the women reminded me I could take it home to feed the kid-o. So, I trotted along side them chatting, enjoying the time away from my desk until we got to this hall way of heaven. This was AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I took a paper plate and added a piece of delicious smelling chicken breast next to a pile of colorful potato medley that in my mind I knew my child would scoff at. I took a pre-portioned tortilla covered in foil as it was passed to me. There were plates and bowls of so

Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Image
I have tried this recipe a few times, changing the ingredients slightly each time and this is what I finally came up with. Ingredients Large Sweet Potato (mine was approx. 1.5lbs) Avocado oil Salt Pepper Paprika Garlic Powder Directions Preheat the oven to 425F Skin and cut the potatoes in the shape you want your fries and add to a large bowl.  Add avocado oil. Toss to coat fries evenly. In a separate, small bowl, combine all seasonings (this creates more dishes but less tossing). Add seasonings to fries and toss until fully coated. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper, spread out fries evenly in a shallow layer and place on a higher rack in the oven. Bake for approximately 19-25 minutes, tossing around every so often.
