Day one of my Whole30 experience began with a dream. Someone handed me a biscuit and I immediately shoveled it into my mouth.Then I remembered, “Oh wait…” and felt remorse (and stupidity) over my already failed dietary experiment. (I felt quite relieved when I woke up.)
I kept breakfast simple. (No biscuits.) Three scrambled eggs with spinach. A heaping bowl of berries. Black coffee.
Should have used the bigger pan.
Breakfast
I was pleasantly surprised by the black coffee. I’ve drunk coffee black before, but I do prefer it with at least a bit of half and half. Without sugar and cream I was able to focus on the taste of the coffee. I also found that with three eggs, I stayed full pretty much all morning. I had a banana at 11:00, which kept me going until lunch at 1:00. Usually, I eat a small breakfast and I’m hungry at about 9:30. I felt more focused. I did crave a second cup of coffee but I opted for a cup of tea instead. It was a nice treat.
My favorite tea – Rooibos
Lunch was a salad with salmon and a sweet potato. I nuked the sweet potato and it didn’t turn out great.
So many colors
I had an apple about three and I was definitely ready for dinner when I got home. I had a crockpot meal planned and the house smelled AH-MAZING. I attribute it to the garlic.
Tomato Balsamic Chicken
This recipe was really good. Lots of garlic, oregano, and basil. I paired it with roasted potatoes. YUM-MY.
So far so good. I don’t feel like killing anyone for a cookie, but it is only day 1.
