MW30 Journey: Days 10-11

Day 10: "Famous Quit Day I"
Worked at 6 a.m., so there was no freshly prepared breakfast.
Breakfast: banana with a spoonful of almond butter
Feeling like myself again.
Lunch: cooked some mushrooms and cucumbers in oil and then added some leftover chicken.
Delicious and fairly full. A reminder I need to drink more water.
More energy.
Dinner: the last of chili :(
Dessert: banana and last of the almond butter :(

Day 11:"THE Worst Day"
Irritable and hungry, but busy.
Breakfast: bacon and an orange
Lunch: soup and a banana
Writing day!
Snack: black coffee (eh)
Dinner: stuffed peppers

Desperately need to go to the store. Coming up tomorrow--Walnut-Crusted Pork Chops.

MW30 Journey: Day 8-9

I'm getting a little behind on these.

Day 8:
Headache--this weather isn't helping me either.
Breakfast: banana and orange
Lunch: fish cooked in ghee, apples and almond butter
Snack: almonds and oranges
More energy--cleaned entire kitchen and prepared chili (which involved lots of chopping/dicing vegetables)
Dinner: THE AMAZING WHOLE 30 CHILI--YUM! 2 bowls.
Snack: apples and almond butter
More energy

Day 9:
Sleepy
Breakfast: orange, scrambled eggs and bacon
2 hour delay, so took son to school at 9 and went to the Gym for 45 minutes
Lunch: McDonalds--quarter pound patty, side salad (no dressing or tomato), apple slices
Writing Day (yay!)--black coffee
Still not getting use to the black coffee or other types of eggs (still like scrambled)
A little energy, so I cleaned the kitchen again.
Dinner: (from Nom Nom Paleo) "Uova in Purgatorio" or "Eggs in purgatory"
This is Italian pork sausage, (whole 30 approved) marinara, and sliced mushrooms dished into miniature baking pots. Then you crack an egg on top and let it cook in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Not a fan of the egg (we overcooked it a little), but the rest was delicious.
Dessert: banana with a small spoonful of almond butter
Ready for bed by 10:30 p.m. which is a little early for me, but I felt full and satisfied.

Rumor has it (today) Day 10 and 11 are the worst.
Great. :(
