This first week off of Whole30 has gone pretty well. I must admit, I really, really miss the rules. It's so hard because anytime I stray off the path of compliant foods, it's coming from other sources. I always say, I could eat Whole30 forever if I didn't have friends.
But my social life is hella important, so I'm just going to have to find a balance. The beginning of the week I had wine with my roomies! Alcohol means little to nothing to me, so that's one of the hardest things to have when I don't really want it. But it's still fun to have a treat with my fave ladies. Plus they came in mini bottles, doesn't get much better than that!
I went to Copper Hen last night with a friend, and that was fantastic. I have never been a salad orderer, and frankly I judged them in the past, but I'm excited to change my tune and become one! And holy crap on a stick, this salad was incredible, the Farmhouse salad with spinach, baby kale, roasted mushrooms (omg I like mushrooms!), candied bacon, cashews, ricotta, poached egg and champagne vinaigrette. Anything with candied bacon is expected to be fantastic though. I would no doubt have this salad again.
And then, guess what! I had a cupcake. I was a hesitant about it, because I don't want to lure my sugar dragon out of his cage, but I feel great today, so that makes me really excited. If I was to tempt my dragon, the cupcake I had was the right thing to attempt. Wowza, bacon and blueberry and incredible frosting. It was perfection!
Life is so good. I still feel so good. I have no guilt over reintroduction, which I, and my loved ones were worried about. Everything is just really fantastic, even post Whole30!
Gonna say it again, I am just so thankful for this. #iamwhole30
