Eating has been going pretty well. I'm eating less fruit then normal, but I fear I'm snacking more? Or maybe I'm not. I kinda feel like it's too easy so far, so that I must be doing something wrong. Week 2 I should start to feel more changes, so we'll see what happens! The kalua pork is SO GOOD. Omg it's really delicious. I totally get the obsession. My body kind of fights pork I think though...unless it's random, but I feel like i get icky poops when I eat too much of it. I feel like I can already notice itty bitty changes, like my upper stomach feels a little less bloated. But man does that bottom part need work! I feel stronger working out. But i might be imagining that too.
Tuesday night I went to the Wilds game with friends, we were going to go to Chipotle...but it closed at 6. WTF? Fing St. Paul...it's a grandma town. They don't lettuce wrap their sammys, usually I'm erbs over jimmys all the way, but that's ridic. Jimmys for the win with that one. So instead they said they could make a little salad, and i was excited about it. But it was ridic. The just shoved a punch of meat and lettuce in a tiny soup bowl. Woof. Also, I forgot to say no dressing, so that was delicious! It was a vinegar based dressing so not awful, but for sure sugar. I gobbled that bitch right up. At the game I brought a water bottle and my TJ's trailmix that I'm obsessed with (almonds, walnuts, salted cashews, sunflower seeds, raisins and coconut flakes). Easy peasy!
I have all kinds of good snacks packed for this weekend, cabin with friends. And I already printed off recipes to bring to Thanksgiving, since I will be towards the end for that. Which is a bummer, but honestly I'm not worried about it.
My knee was totally fine today! I think raising the seat really did do the trick! The Dr said I'm crazy tight, and that might have caused injuries, so now I really have no excuse to stretch, but man is it hard to make time for. I really want to, it's just so hard for me to prioritize for some reason. But I seriuosly am so excited about my knee. I'm also going to run T/R next week, and see what happens! I want to go at it slowly and not screw anything up. Biking is fine now, I'm used to it, and am able to get a great workout from it. But I'm still excited to get back to the tread. My knee still pings every once and a while throughout the day, but at least it didn't hurt on the bike!

November 5, 2015
I really wanted to cancel my workout for this morning, since we were in New Orleans since Saturday, but by the time I had committed to the idea, it was past the 12 hour mark, so I couldn't cancel! Blessing in disguise I suppose.
Except that my knee hurts really bad today. The break didn't do it well apparently...because now it's like, WTF, you gave me a break, and then forced me to bike again. F you I'm gonna make you feel it all day. Again, it hurt the most right when getting started, but fought a little harder then the last times I was working out. It hurt a little longer into my workout than usual. But did indeed go away. But I also noticed it during the bike round a couple of times. But again, only during biking, no pain during lunges etc.
Again, it's not like a constant pain, it's a turn it wrong, move it wrong kinda hurt. Who knows if that's good or bad.
I also got my clinic bill from my shin x-rays, and had a mild panic attack. So I changed around my insurance, and now I'm not sure if I should go to my appointment Monday, or wait until my new insurance stuff kicks in Jan1st.
Bleh.
Walking on the trip was good, my right shin was hurting a bit again, which was weird. It's a little higher then where the intense left hand pain was. And it's a little sharper. Hard to describe. My knee hurt every once and awhile while on vacation, but nothing like after working out. It hurt when I sat funny at a restaurant chair or things like that.
I'll think on it and see what happens.
WHOLE 30 DAY 1
What to say. Easy to say it's easy day 1. I had two cups of coffee...that's a tell. Also, work was so busy, I didn't even have time to crave anything, so that made it easier. Not excited for the sugar and carb headaches I will surely be getting this weekend when I'm out of town with girlfriends...
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon
Lunch: caf salad, lettuce, olives, egg, raisins, peppers, sunflower seeds, side of fruit (NOM NOM...but expensive...)

day 45, round 2
It's been interesting, people keep asking me if I'm done yet. And it's sweet that they are keeping up with my life, but at the same time, a part of me thinks, I'm not on a day, I want to keep this up. This is a lifestyle. I fear that I will always be obsessed with the "day I'm on". I really want that not to be a focus someday. For now I still need it, so I appreciate their excitment for it. It's just a mental game I'm playing with myself and trying to get away from.
Every day starts feeling normal, until I'm reminded that what I'm doing is abnormal. My biggest battles lately are that, when I'm around people and they ask about the number. And also snacking. Uffta that nasty guy has his fist around my brain right now. Plantain chips are my weakness right now. And eating nuts or something while I'm cooking. I would love for that to stop. But I'm tinkering with a June Whole30, on the very DL. But we'll see how the road trip this weekend goes. How far off the wagon I fall and how I feel about it.
A week ago, I was like, maybe I will be able to take baby steps, not go crazy in CA, but today, I WANT ALL DA FOODS! Buns and bagels and tortillas! No sweets. That will be easy for me. Except maybe some french toast??? Not sure. Going to play it by ear.
Donuts today at work smell incredible. But so easy to say no to them. So easy, it's incredible. The Orange Juice sounds pretty good though:)
Made another cauliflower pizza last night! It was great! This time I let the cooked caulirice cool in the freezer. I had to do it twice, becuase it was still so hot! Then I rang it out a lot in a towel. It really does collect a lot of water. I felt like I could have gotten even more out if I would have had a second towel. But it still turned out great. I cooked it for a tad longer this time too, but I could probably do even more next time. I will have to keep experiementing. ALSO! The vegan parmeson was AWESOME! I really like it!

day 44 round 2
I feel super great today. But really snacky. I weighed myself, and weigh almost exactly what I weighed on day 30. Which is interesting to me. It's crazy to think I've still eaten so clean, and haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks. But I also have eaten a lot of fruit and snacks. Whole30 or not, that can get ya.

day 38 round 2
Today I'm struggling with the overwhelming feeling that I want to be part of a community. One that supports and strengthens by desire for fitness and paleo diet. I always have these strong urges to find community base in passions like this (photo, video etc), but it's so hard to actually break out and do it. I just feel like it would be a really wonderful thing. Crossfit seems like the perfect thing, but I just really wasn't sold on it. And I do love OTF. So hopefully I can find other means to make fitfriends!
Whole45 is easy peasy at this point. Dinner last night for J's birthday wasn't an issue or anything. Sometimes I have this feeling like, what's the point? I get tired of people thinking it's just for weightloss. But as my body gets trimmer, then I start to have the feeling, crap, is this about weightloss? Mixed feelings for sure. But no matter what, my focus is filling my body with whole awesome foods that do it SO much good, and so little negative.

day 37 round 2
I didn't blog yesterday, and I didn't like it. So I'm not sure why, but I'm going to keep this up.
Eating is so easy now. So fun! And I don't have cravings. Like at all, WTF! Unless something is mentioned, or in my face, I think, oh that looks good. But it doesn't even matter. I had the thought yesterday, how great it would have been to be raised without crap. How weird it is that anything was even introduced to us. How beautiful it would be if we all just ate veggies and fruit and meat all the time. I'm sorry, but food isn't love. People are love. Love is love. I think it's all so messed up, and I don't think it will ever go back. But anywho! On a positive note, I feel wonderful. And as always, just wish I had more time to cook!
Gosh I sound crazy.
J had a park bday party over the weekend, with lots of good food. But it was pretty easy. As long as I'm prepared that is, I had my applegate turkey, veggies and grapes. I ate all dem grapes.

day 33 of 45
Whole30 ends and I lose all my blogging motivation apparently. This morning I woke up 20 minutes after my workout alarm. Which is annoying for the obvious reason, that I didn't set my alarm and missed my workout. But also annoying that I missed it by a tiny amount! According to my my fitbit sleep tracking, I woke up almost exactly at 8 hours of sleep. So I think i've nailed my sleeping schedule pretty well. I function the best with 7 hours of sleep. And naturally, my body needs 8 hours. But pee interrupts this no matter what. So on the weekends I usually don't really sleep in.
OH results! I almost forgot. Before this Whole30, my weight was 150.3. On day 31, it was 145.6. So just about 5lbs lost this time. I definitely feel smaller, not sure if I look smaller from my after photos though. I started measuring myself with a string and ruler, but just got annoyed and gave up. Then I ordered a measuring rope from Amazon. So we'll see if that happens:)
Tried on my bridesmaid dress for roommies wedding in Septemember, and wow is it more fun when I'm more trip! It's a wrap dress, so when I first got it it was tricky to find styles that looked even kind of good. It's a lot easier now, yahoo!
It's crazy that this is still normal. The only thing that's changed is that sneaky sentence of, well i couuuuuuld have that. Especially when thinking ahead on certain events. Like, oh shoot food trucks next weekend at the art fair, maybe I shouuuuuld have that. But no, i still feel awesome and this is easy. I want to stick with it!
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon
Lunch: spinach + apple salad, avocado, caulimash, applegate hotdogs

DAY 30! round 2!
Yay! Day 30! Feeling excited. But normal. How cool is that? I know that it's an accomplishment, because I remember all the times it was hard to say no to things.
Something I've been thinking about as this comes to a close. I have somehow snuck in the thought that this is about getting trim, and allowing my big picture accomplishment to be clouded by my body accomplishments. Reminder to Samara; it's SO much bigger than that! Remember that you're body feels better when it's not bloated from inflammatory foods. Remember that you're sleeping better. Remember that it's not hard. Remember that there are alternatives to everything. Remember how amazing meal prep feels. Remember how good fruit tastes. Remember that cancer feeds on sugar. That there is a big one. I just hate sugar. Hate hate hate it. I really want to keep up with the no sugar thing.
But here we go! I'm not done. I am commited to a Whole45. The biggest reason I wasn't going to continue on was J. I really wanted to be able to share experiences with him, like his birthday, through food. But he has said some really sweet things about it lately, so I'm going to keep going! We both know that he supports me, we may have to talk through things, but in the long run, he will love me through it:)
We were so excited to go to our favorite Mexican place for Cinco De Mayo, but the line was so long. We should have known better. So we went next door to aplace with no line. We should have known better with that too. The meat was so gross. Everything was gross. Oh well! Lesson learned ;)
Results coming tomorrow!
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hardboiled eggs + cinnamon, coffee
Lunch: my work whole30 friend brought us shepherds pie for a surprise last lunch! it was so amazing, also pie guts
Dinner: gross carnitas from a restaurant on central, with my tortillas, pico and olives, plantain chips

day 27 and 28 round 2
This weekend was tricky, but I'm so proud I made it through. I was pretty lax on the oil stuff was cooked in. But mostly because we were in a tiny town so the options would be guaranteed limited if any. But I had a burger without a bun, steak salad at a Mexican joint, and a skillet Sunday morning. It was great because I still had so many other victories. I didn't have tortilla chips or tortillas at Mexican. Though I did put guac and salsa on a chip and licked it off, ha! I didn't get ice cream when we went to DQ, but I also had a baby next to me so I was good:) I didn't have Moscow mules at the bar. I'm very proud of myself, and felt so empowered by my strength! Yahoo!!!! I definitely over did it on the snacking and fruit, but no regrets :)
Also my incredible friend made us a whole30 breakfast! How sweet is that!!! It was delicious, sweet potatoe, egg and bacon quiche!!! We went for a hike together and were able to walk to dinner, so it was a nice active weekend too!
Saturday food:
Banana
Egg bake
Banana
Burger, side salad
Almonds

Sunday Food:
2 bananas

Almonds
Coffee
Blueberry rx bar

Dinner: I didn't have anything ready for dinner, so I spiralized a sweet potatoe, cooked it in ghee, salt and pepper, put three fried eggs over it. And then died from amazing ness. It was so incredible!!!!! Then I made pie guts:)
Don't worry I didn't have that dressing ;)
Party on!

day 26 round 2
The best part about eating whole foods...the feeling the next morning after you binge. I mean ideally I would learn to never binge...but this relationship with food thing, might last a lifetime. I might go in and out of control, and I'm OK with that. But when I loose it, and I eat too many veggies, or too much fruit, I feel full and a little bloated, and the tiniest bit guilty that day, but the next day, I wake up feeling amazing. How awesome is that??? I mean, depending on the fruit part, I might feel a little poopy. But if that's the worst of it. A-OK with me.
At this point, I want to do this forever. So I think I will continue on a Whole45 track. If something crazy happens, like I make a concious decision to have something off Whole30, we will tackle it then. But for now, I feel powerful. And strong. And ready for this. Actually I feel like I could cry a little I feel so good and so thankful, and that word, that strong word. That's in my heart like crazy. I feel silly to get emotional about this, but I think that just shows how powerful it can be. And just to throw this in there, again, I'm so thankful to have the means for this. I know that I'm lucky and blessed. I know that not everyone can't afford this lifestyle.
ANYWHO! Roadtrip with girlfriends this weekend. Snacks are packed. Gonna make some hotdogs before we leave so I can have those with my chipotle, which I'm sure we will be stopping for:)
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, coffee, water
Lunch: a ton of leftover grilled veggies, meatballs, apple
Dinner: Red peppers, Chipoltle, Hot dogs, Banana, Grapes, Coconut flakes, Banana

Can I just say, we stopped at chipotle for dinner on our road trip, and I was fully expecting to get a bowl of barely anything. But I saw no signs for lack of carnitas and my hope went a little up. Then I heard someone say carnitas and the guy nodded his head, and then my hope went really high! And then when it was my turn I said are there carnitas???? And the guy said well barely a serving, and I think these are the last in the whole restaurant. WHAT!!!! I got the last carnitas!!!! I was beyond pumped. I had made some hot dog coins in preparation, but I still ate those too:)
My wrists haven't been hurting as much during workouts so that's nice. I haven't been wearing my gloves, but have them with me in case there's a day they hurt.
Workout today:
This was tough. My legs were so tight again today. Not sure if this keeps happening because of floor stuff we're doing or running in general. I have to get better at stretch though.

day 25 round 2
Still feeling so great. I was thinking about how much water I drink, and how normal it is for me. Our breakroom got an ICE MACHINE yesterday! It's huge news. We're all so excited. Even though there are a couple a short walk away, it's still exciting. And I was thinking about how many people maybe drink a glass of water a day. And how that's normal for them. And it sounds so dumb, because my sad thoughts should be invested in actual tradgedies, but still it makes me a little sad. Anyway, my point is, I'm glad I like water, and I'm glad I'm filling my body with it because my body really likes it.
Deep thoughts on a Thursday, you're welcome. This post sponsered by H2O.
Oh crap, and then there's California...who barely has enough water. Man, now I feel guilty about even discussing this. Whatever. I'm talking about being grateful so it's fine right?
On to other things! I feel so great today. Not even worried about this coming weekend road trip with girlfriends. One, becuase my friends freaking rock, and are so thoughtful about it, even when they don't have to be. How awesome is that? And 2, I'm not even worried about temptations. This feels so normal right now, and I'm so happy with that. I'm just praying that that lasts. Speaking with other whole30ers at the Whole30 book tour last night made me feel powerful in this. That yes it will be hard to sustain it, but I can. The world is just pushing against this lifestyle so much, it's just choices. I have to make the right choices. And know my brain better than my brain knows me. Wow THAT makes no sense in the actual sense...but metaphorically it works. Ha! I know that I am a black and white gal. So I will have to keep the rules for now...and see what happens.
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, coffee water
Lunch: Meatballs + pico (gosh I love pico), apple and spinach salad

day 24 round 2
Good morning!!! I really want to work on my work attitude today. Get more done, me more productive, be less salty, it's gonna be a good day. I'm staying late, which I'm strangely looking forward too. And THEN going to the Whole30 book tour!!! Yahoo!!! Talk about Fangirling. Omg I'm such a fangirl.
I'm so thankful for working out. It gives me so much energy and joy. Even on nights when I don't sleep much, it's still worth it. I'm not sure if that's the right thing or not, but it works for me, so unless something changes, I think I will keep on keepin' on!
Something that's been tough on this round of Whole30 is sharing it with coworkers. I'm trying to stay silent unless they come to be with questions, because I don't want to be the Whole30 police at all! But it's been really tough overhearing them talk about certain things and not giving advice or direction, or at least having them read the book and try it again some day. Especially when they talk about not having success, or what they are going to binge on right away when they're done. I wish it was as life changing for them as me. But I have to remember that everyones different, and maybe it's not right for them or even the right time in life for them. Who knows! I just hope they still have some positive things to say when it's all over:)
Food Today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, water, coffee
Lunch: spinach + apple salad, leftover cracklin' chicken, avocado, banana chia seeding pudding (my friend brought this in, so good! i havne't had successful chia seed pudding yet so I was excited)
3:00 cashews
5:00 apple
6:00 Rx bar
9:30 pie guts (warmed berries, almond butter, coconut flakes, chia seeds)
My "dinner" was a little messed up becuase I stayed late at work and then went to the Whole30 book tour! It wsa fun! Casual and fast, but a fun experience. They move everything along really quickly. For the Q&A I asked where they were eating dinner, and everyone laughed, but they didn't have a great answer. So maybe I should have asked what they had eaten? I dunno Dallas said last time they came they went to Barbette. Also, he is a very attractive man. Melissa is just as funny in person as she is on instagram. I wasn't going to wait for the book signing, but I started chatting with someone, and then the line was almost done anyway, so I just did. #fangirl.

day 23 round 2
I love this newest Whole30 post. I feel like a lot of the time, they say something and I think, Oh my gosh I've totally thought that exact thing!
"Then you hit the aisles, and your Whole30 momentum comes to a screeching halt smack in front of the canned tomatoes and olives. Citric acid? Calcium chloride? Ferrous gluconate? What the heck are those? Can I have those? I should Google these. WHAT EVIL CORPORATE FOOD CONGLOMERATE IS BLOCKING CELL PHONE SERVICE TO AISLE 4. "
Feeling really good today, and so inspired because of how good I still feel. Three cheers!
Ab Challenge: Today's Pre-ab challenge was supposed to be 200 ankle touches, but I didn't do last nights crunches so I had to do 400 abs. It was tough. And I did it in my underwear and tanktop...in the living room. So we'll work on getting better at that for when the real challenge starts in May:)
Gallon Challenge: Pretty sure I finished today, instead of bringing my leftovers home, I decided to trust myself to drink enough water at dinner. And I'm pretty sure I did, but my bestie did bring me Good Earth juice since she's the freaking best! How sweet is that??? I made tacos for a double date, and she said she was in charge of drinks and knew I couldn't have wine. She's the best:) But anywho...today I was wondering if this is necessarily worth it...to fill myself so uncomfortably full with water? I'm not sure yet, but I still want to try it. We'll see!
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, coffee, water
Lunch: leftover cracklin' chicken, spinach + apple salad, avocado
2:00 cashews
Pre-dinner: too many plantain chips, these guys rock too much that they suck

"Then you hit the aisles, and your Whole30 momentum comes to a screeching halt smack in front of the canned tomatoes and olives. Citric acid? Calcium chloride? Ferrous gluconate? What the heck are those? Can I have those? I should Google these. WHAT EVIL CORPORATE FOOD CONGLOMERATE IS BLOCKING CELL PHONE SERVICE TO AISLE 4. "
Feeling really good today, and so inspired because of how good I still feel. Three cheers!
Ab Challenge: Today's Pre-ab challenge was supposed to be 200 ankle touches, but I didn't do last nights crunches so I had to do 400 abs. It was tough. And I did it in my underwear and tanktop...in the living room. So we'll work on getting better at that for when the real challenge starts in May:)
Gallon Challenge: Pretty sure I finished today, instead of bringing my leftovers home, I decided to trust myself to drink enough water at dinner. And I'm pretty sure I did, but my bestie did bring me Good Earth juice since she's the freaking best! How sweet is that??? I made tacos for a double date, and she said she was in charge of drinks and knew I couldn't have wine. She's the best:) But anywho...today I was wondering if this is necessarily worth it...to fill myself so uncomfortably full with water? I'm not sure yet, but I still want to try it. We'll see!
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, coffee, water
Lunch: leftover cracklin' chicken, spinach + apple salad, avocado
2:00 cashews
Pre-dinner: too many plantain chips, these guys rock too much that they suck
Dinner: taco salad and Good Earth juice, too many plantain chips again :( also pie guts after dinner

day 22 round 2
Only one week left in the Whole30! That's craziness. It feels so normal. It went slower this time, but actually just as powerful I think. But in a different way I can't described. In a normal way, a way that I think I can maintain better and for longer this time. I'm just really thankful...again.
I had a beautiful taco salad for dinner tonight on the porch with friends. I love recipes that make it easy to eat that much spinach...because I had a heaping pile. That taco meat man, it's just the best. Then we went on a walk, and I finished my gallon of water, and eventually that belly ache went away (ha!) and then we booked tickets to Portland in July! Holla! My hiking buds:) Can't wait!
It's only day two of the gallon challenge...it was tricky...but I think I just forgot to drink anything the last couple of hours of the day because I was making a flow chart and having way too much fun (nerd alert). Also I didn't do my ab challenge for last night, since my belly was so full of water ha! Too many goals, they are competing with each other. But that's OK, I'll get better!
Food Today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, water, big coffee
Lunch: taco salad, meat, spinach, pico, avocado, apple
Dinner: taco salad, meat, spinach, pico, olives
I wanted fruit, just because "i was allowed and hadn't had my second fruit yet", but i stopped myself. I was already high on life because of trip planning, it was pretty late, I was going to read and go right to bed. So I halted and didn't have it. And it was wonderful! Made so much sense, and makes even more sense now. Yay Whole30 mindset:):):)

day 21 round 2
I was so excited for breakfast again today. I couldn't wait for those darn breakfast patties! I kinda overloaded my plate, but I had no guilt because it was amazing.
I am such a fan of Stupid Easy Paleos tortillas. Some may consider them non-whole30, but I'm pretty confident to know it's ok for me. I might try and use less Ghee next time. I'm not sure if my skin is weird, or if my smelling ability is what's weird...but when I have too much buttery food, including Ghee I guess, I can SMELL it in my pores! It's bizzare and gross and I dont like it. So the tortillas I made today were a little greasy and had a lot of ghee in them.
After tacos, I made this concoction. And I think I'm going to name it pie guts, becuase that is just what it tasted like. It was seriously amazing. I had two servings, so it might have been too much like dessert, but oh well! I warmed up Costco frozen mixed berries, added chia seeds, almond butter and coconut flakes and mixed it all up. You guys. Ohmylanta. It was incredible!
I successfully went to a friends bridal shower and didn't have any of the treats. And yeah they looked good, brownies and bars, totally my weakness. But it is INCREDIBLE how easy it is to not have them! What the heck! It's amazing. I didn't even really think about it at the time, but now thinking abou it, it was so easy! Bah! So excited:)
My roommie and I also biked the 4ish miles there and back, so that made the day SO great!

day 20 round 2
Hey! It's day 20! I woke up SO excited to cook this morning. It was so energizing to cook good food for people last night, and to make something amazing for J this morning too! As always, I waited patiently while J slept to cook. I usually get up really early and wait for him, entertaining myself with TV and reading and insta and such. This morning I made us NomNomPaleos Paleo Sausage Egg "McMuffins". Recipe number 4/4 for my goal this month! And they were absolutely incredible. I want one right now, really bad. We slapped on some guacamole too. J had a bagel, and of course it looked incredible, but honestly, mine was so good on it's own it wasn't an issue, like at all. I would highly recommend it. The taste of the sausage was so amazing too, NomNom provides this recipe, and it was seriously perfection. Somehow spicy and sweet, just magnificant.
The technique of making the parts went well. I found that mixing up the eggs and putting the salt and pepper in that mixture, and then pouring into the ring, worked better than what the recipe called for. It was definitely a messy meal for me though!
We also tried Trader Joes cold brew, and are really excited for that since J doesn't have a coffee maker. He used milk and I just used water. It was really nommy.
For all my other meals this weekend I had left over tacos and was SO not upset by that. Holy moly were they delicious. I'm so excited to have even more leftovers this week!!!
Food today:
Brunch: Sausage egg Mcmuffin, grapefruit, cold press
Dinner: 2 leftover tacos, apple slices with almond butter
11:00 an orange

day 19 round 2
Feel super super great. Digestion is still wonky per usual, but it really doesn't concern me. The pros outway that con. My cycle seems to be a little off...I'm half getting it early? Not sure if that's whole30 related or not...
Excited to cook tonight! I can't believe I never knew how much I like to make food! Eeek! I'm a little addicted to filling my freezer though...I have quite a bit of stuff frozen, and I really need to get better at using that before I buy more stuff. Especially meat. It's just hard when you want to try a recipe...I think that will be my goal next month. To use my freezer stock. I have to prepare ahead of time my meals anyway...so it's not like keeping "extra stock" in the freezer is that helpful anyway. Unless it's meatballs! Or previously prepared actual meals.
For dinner my sis came over and helped me cook. And some friends came too. We made the taco recipe from Against All Grains cookbook, and it was seriously amazing. Recipe number 3/4 for my goal this month! Then I made pico with roma tomatoes, serrano pepper, red onion, lime juice and salt. It was incredible. Other toppings: lettuce, guacamole, olives (we grew up with olives on our tacos, I didn't know that was abnormal!). Then I made these tortillas for me. It was such a freaking good meal. And it was a hit. The dessert was sugar free and a hit too! I was WAY more careful this time cutting my serrano pepper. I used a baggie over my hand, and paper towels to hold the pepper and rinsed it off ha. No burning! Success!
Food today:
Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs + cinnamon, water, coffee
Lunch: meatballs, greenbeans with ghee, avocado, spinach + apple salad
3:00 cashews
Dinner: 3 (I may have had 4!!!) tacos, rasperries + almond slices, almond butter, coconut flakes
