If you are reading this, you haven't given up on me; you haven't gotten bored; you haven't gotten tired of my constant babbling or my mediocre food photography and for that I am extraordinarily grateful. I owe much of my success with this program to my circle of supporters.
Today, I'm tired.
SO
TIRED.
It's 9pm and I feel like I should have gone to bed an hour ago. I'm anxiously awaiting the days where I have more energy than a two year-old on Twizzlers. Until then, I'm going to push through until this and hope I don't fall asleep in the process.
In the Whole30 book, there are several recipes within recipes for sauces and dips. Initially, I was so overwhelmed by this thought that I avoided any of those recipes strictly out of fear. I'm happy to say that I've started tackling those recipes and I'm having so much fun with it. I feel downright domestic. Martha Stewart would be so proud.
My sister made cookies today. I LOVE my sister's chocolate chip cookies. Better than the cookies is the dough. Oh. My. Gosh. It's the first time during this program where I've had an honest to goodness desire to eat something off-plan. W30 doesn't allow for any kind of junk food "substitutes", even if the ingredients are all allowed. The reason behind this is that it goes against the spirit of the plan. The point of what I'm doing is to break food habits, not replace them. By so doing I won't resume those habits after the 30 days is over. Luckily, my toddler was getting fussy and it was time to take her home to bed.
Phew! Crisis averted. Now onto the GOOD things I ate. . .
Breakfast: Kitchen sink scrambled eggs made with leftover shepherd's pie, topped with avocado, and a side of raspberries.

| Avocados and eggs. My new favorite combination. |
Lunch: Leftover rotisserie chicken, a banana, and a plum. (Shoveled in my face on the way to church.)
Dinner: Roasted chicken, cabbage slaw, and red potatoes with an avocado aoli and a cilantro lime aoli.

| That slaw was crazy good. |
 |
| My Sauces. So proud. |
The food looks amazing! It sounds gourmet. You are not deprived, your body is thanking you, or will thank you for it! Breaking habits are the worst things. It's what is scary to me about the whole 30. Keep it up! I know it's not easy!
