Whole 30 Day 2

Happy New Year - I'm sick again!  Ugh....WTF, immune system?!?  Started feeling it last night but woke up this morning with razor blades in my throat.  Literal razor blades.  I'd be fine with the sneezing and stuffy head if the razor blades would just. go. away!  :(

Given that, I'm gonna make this short and sweet.  It's only day 2 and I'm feeling fine. I will say, however, that I woke up hungry (which never really happens) and there was a while this morning when I just could not get full.  I'm not a big breakfast eater - my morning meal usually consists of coffee and some raw almonds (did I say this yesterday?) but I do not think that's gonna be doable this month. I'm going to have to get creative because skipping breakfast can't happen.

My meals today were as follows:

Breakfast:
1 cup of black coffee
1 cup of bone broth

Mid-morning snack/breakfast continuation:
Package of raw almonds
About 7-10 organic cherry tomatoes

Lunch:
3 Nori rolls.  This is gonna be a Whole 30 favorite I think.  Remember when I talked about using healthy fats to feel satiated?  These did that for me.  I spread homemade mayo on each piece of Nori, added crumbled bacon, lettuce, cucumber, carrots and shredded chicken breast.  They were filling and delicious!

Make sure you buy the pre-toasted Nori for convenience

I left work right after lunch and came home to sleep.  When I woke up, the razor blades were still there.  Yippy! I also could not get warm, not even with long pants, knee socks, a sweatshirt and my down comforter with the heat up to 75.  Not cool.  A hot shower after I woke up seemed to help though - my gas bill is gonna suck.

After waking up, I sipped on some more bone broth and ate some pomegranate seeds. I keep trying to hydrate my throat - it helps for the moment but not for long.  So I'm consuming LOTS of liquids. Fun.  Do you even care about this?  Probably not. On to the important stuff...

For dinner, I made a salad by crisping up some of the pork from yesterday in a pan, and tossing it with lettuce, avocados, veggies and Tessamea's Lemonette salad dressing.  I LOVE Tessamea's - it's an all nature dressing and marinade company.  So far, I haven't been able to find it in stores so I order a bunch online. They even have bbq sauce and hot sauce and everything is Whole30 compliant.  My favorite is the Lemon Garlic - try it and thank me later.

So there we are.  Day 2 in the books.  How did you do?
