1:00pm Lunch: I had planned on making chicken for lunch, but I realized that I still had a ton of pork and green beans left over from dinner the night before. Thank goodness for tupperware! That made my lunch super easy.
8:30pm Dinner: It was my brother's birthday today so we all went out to Papadeux's. It's a very eclectic restaraunt with lots on the menu. I was able to find a delicious grilled half chicken with spinach and red potatoes. I substitued the potatoes for apsaragus because I just wasn't in the mood for something that heavy. I stuck with water and lemon which was REALLY difficult since everyone was having beer, fruity rum mixed drinks, and long island ice teas! Man, I sure do miss my wine....
Someone asked me yesterday how I can wait 9 hours in between meals sometimes. Truth is my meals acutally make feel more satiated so I don't feel hungry. Sometimes I'll get the munchies, that's when I'll reach for a handful of good fat containing nuts like cashews, or a small handful of fruit. But everyone is different, some people's need an extra meal or snack in between, and that's completely fine. Read the book and you'll see what I mean. They make is super easy to understand and suggest that if you get confused or just don't want to read about all the "science-y" stuff, you can skip those chapters! I just found those chapters truely helpful to understand why my body reacts the way it does with certain foods. Even if you don't do the Whole30 Challenge, at least you can have a better understanding of the way your body works.
