I'll start with yesterday....of course...I had officially run out of all the good foods in my house, and still hadn't gone to the store. I was experiencing moment of weakness and I ordered delivery from Fuzzy's Taco. I had ground beef nachos....In hindsight it's really not the most unhealthiest food I could have eaten, but on the grounds of Whole30 it's not aloud because it has Feta cheese, and tortilla chips. Which I though that corn tortillas, and tortilla chips were ok to eat, but nope found out they aren't on the Whole30 program :-( I felt bad for even that small slip up! I FINALLY went to the store though (the clouds parted, and the angels sang) I came home actually excited to have all this healthy food in the house knowing that I could snack and eat without feeling guilty! I ended up making Sweet Potato & Chicken Sausage Skillet for dinner. For some reason I didn't put chicken sausage on my grocery list, I put turkey sausage. So the minor change was I made it was turkey sausage.
Despite the look of it lol, it was actually really good! It did feel more like a filling for something, like I really wanted to put it in some corn tortillas and chow down. I found a recipe for Coconut flour tortillas, so yea that's going to happen! All in all I would for sure make this again for a filling for possibly Coconut flour tortillas or something like that.
Later that evening I had a bowl of mixed fruit with a sauce I made from Almond butter and Almond milk for my "Dessert". I probably should've emitted the almond butter mixture and saved that for fruit like apples, but it gave me that sweet I was craving. End of Day 3 :-D
Today I did tons better, simply because I had everything in the house that I needed. I should've had breakfast but I didn't. For lunch I had tomato, turkey bacon, and chicken sandwich meat roll up...?....I kind of made it up so I don't know what to call it. Here's a picture of that...
I just put sliced tomatoes and pieces of turkey bacon on the chicken breast sandwich meat and rolled it up. The flavor was really good, and 4 of these little things actually filled me up. For some reason I didn't buy lettuce of any kind at the store, but I'll most likely go and get some, because I think something like this needed the crunch and texture of lettuce around it. A good and easy idea for lunches :-)
I was excited to tell you about dinner....is it so bad that I get super excited about food??
In any case, I made Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Squash
These pictures crack me up, because it doesn't make my food look good lol, but I assure you it tasted so delicious! I'll post the 2 recipes down at bottom if you're interested in looking these up. I honestly didn't even miss the pasta noodles in this dish. The sauce was good, flavorful, and truly creamy. The 2 things I left out was the sliced sausage, and asparagus. Honestly I didn't want to add asparagus to this meal, but I didn't grab turkey smoked sausage like I usually do at the store so that's why I didn't add it. I wish I had though, because I know it would've been even better! I'm excited about this sauce, I know I'll be putting it on other stuff :-D
I haven't gone to the gym yet, I don't know why I have such a lack of motivation on that. I'm hoping to get some before Monday, but by Monday I won't let myself get by without going. I'll have to just force myself to go.
I still feel really good though. I'm always really tired by the end of the day which is strange because I usually don't ever feel tired at night. Seems like it's easier for me to fall asleep, no running thoughts that occupy my mind. I feel lighter, not so weighed down, most likely because I don't feel like I'm retaining so much water and not bloated. I'm not missing other foods as much as I thought I would. I mean I've never gone this long without having chocolate....and I haven't really even craved it!
Okie dokie that's all for today, I'll check in with you guys tomorrow :-) STAY STRONG my fellow Whole-30ers WE GOT THIS
