I was so tired yesterday that I didn’t even blog. So here’s my recap of day 5
I am quickly approaching this stage.
The day started out fine. Breakfast: fried eggs, potato (microwaved for a couple minutes), and avocado. The runny yolk is yummy with the potatoes.
The Whole30 website has a timeline of what to expect during the month. Days 4 and 5 are dubbed “Kill all the things.” Grumpiness settles in, and it did begin to settle in on day 5. Especially right before lunch. I got a little hangry. Lunch (leftovers) subsided the murderous urges.
Drew commented that my grumpiness isn’t really that bad. I generally just get really quiet. I internalize my rage. I may look happy, but I’m visualizing body slamming the person that cuts me off in the produce section while grocery shopping.
Lunch was leftovers and unfortunately I forgot to pack a snack. By the time I got home I was hungry and wiped out. Fatigue is common during the first couple weeks of Whole30, and I am starting to feel it.
When I got home, I couldn’t bear the idea of cooking. I opted for the easiest options I could find. A weird concoction of leftovers and easy things I could pull together. I threw half a can of tomato paste on top of leftover spaghetti squash. For protein, I went super easy.
Whole30 approved hot dogs!
This felt like cheating, but I double and triple checked that these were safe. I microwaved a couple, chopped them up and threw them on top.
I have hit the I give up stage of Whole30.
I topped it off with a handful of spinach straight out of the bag and a small baked sweet potato. Not fancy, but all compliant!
