day sixteen

Today was such a great day. Well besides getting up so early. My body is definitely trained now, since I woke up Saturday morning at 6:30, when I had an alarm set for 10:30. Uuuuufta. BUT besides that the day was so wonderful. I had myself an amazing breakfast, 3 fried eggs, cubed squash from TJs (holy cow is that stuff amazing, I could have it for every meal right now), guacamole from TJs, a big old glass of water and some coffee for the road.

I picked up my sister down the road, and we headed to my grandparents house for lunch. It looked super delicious, bread and soup and all around non Whole30 things, but guess what, I was happy with the meatballs and salad I brought. And I was even happier after the meal, and even today, that I stuck with this. How worth it:) It's only hard for about a few minutes. I made my own salad dressing too which was super good. I just threw in some strawberries, slivered almonds, apple cider vinegar and olive oil in a food processor. It was pretty darn good! I also snuck in an Rxbar for a snack in the afternoon, naughty maybe, but I don't have guilt! 

This is the cool thing, I was so completely energized to be around all of these people I loved (maybe even more so since I'm naturally energized from eating so well I think). The food didn't matter. What mattered is where I was and who I was with. I know some people say "food is love", but there was so much love in the room, food was not important. It feels so wonderful that food does not have control over me anymore. 

After lunch my dad and I went to the Wild game, which again provided a lot of delicious looking temptations. But I wasn't even barely tempted. It was beautiful. I brought meatballs into the arena, and some cashews, and was happy as a clam to have that as my dinner rather than mini donuts and a beer. 

Such a great 16th day:)

Party on!
