Loving club soda with some fresh fruit while I’m Whole30-ing. Helps get me over both my sweet and alcohol cravings!

Whole30 – Day 11

I opened the freezer to pull out some venison for dinner and was greeted by this. I like my vodka flavored and cold!

Whole30 – Day 10

Today I was dreading another Sunday Dinner with the family. Especially since my sister was planning on ordering pizza. I told her I would be bringing my own food and came up with a plan. Then my hubby put his back out and need to be driven to urgent care. I grabbed my snacks, vitamins, and water and headed out the door. The day was calorie light, but I did not go to bed hungry.

Breakfast – 2 eggs scrambled cooked in coconut oil (my new fav), topped with home-made salsa and black coffee.

Lunch – Nope. I was waiting in the car eating my snacks because I refused to be in the urgent care waiting room with a shit-ton of sick people.

Dinner – NY Strip steak and cabbage steaks with olive oil and garlic.

Snack – Whole Cashews

Whole30 – Day 9

Today was good for a weekend. My hubby and I are DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) so we sleep in on the weekends, since our work days start at 4:30 am. I did not get up until after 11:00 am so there were only two meals today.

Breakfast – 2 eggs scrambled cooked in coconut oil, home-made salsa, and black coffee.

While running around town getting salsa supplies and food for the next week I had some almonds and cashews.

Dinner – This was great, grilled pork chops, Cherry BBQ sauce courtesy of http://nomnompaleo.com, and zucchini zoodles stir fried in sesame oil and ginger.

And while watching football…club soda with orange slices since beer and wine are off the list for the next 30.

Home-made BBQ sauce with cherries!!!

Whole30 – Day 8

Almost a week in and still Okay. Got all my meals in and made my weekly trip to Whole Foods. There is not one in the town that I live, but there IS one in the town where I work. Found this wonderful thing called ghee and great ingredients to make home-made BBQ sauce.

Breakfast – 2 scrambled eggs with home-salsa and black coffee.

Lunch – smoked chicken with mixed greens salad, radishes, and green bell peppers.

Dinner – the very last of the smoked pork and a bag of steamed veggies with ghee.

Ever-fateful snacks – almonds and green beans. I did buy some cashews so there will be a change up next week!
