Whole30 Challenge, Day 6

10:30am Breakfast: James had his soccer game this morning and I went to cheer him on so I grabbed 3 hard boiled eggs an half a package of baby carrots. I wasn't actually all that hungry this morning but I knew I had to eat!




3:00pm Lunch: I made Mexican Chicken (It Starts With Food) with a few substitutions such as hot green chili peppers instead of the cane green chilies the recipe calls for. I also added cucumbers for some added veggies. This was a spicy dish! With the chilies and chili pepper that was called for, I think this is an every once in a while dish. But still very tasty! Also a small side of fresh raspberries :]

9:00pm Dinner: Faux Pho (It Starts With Food). It's Pho minus the rice noodles, but same taste and smell! I tweaked the recipe a little to add chopped celery in the soup because it looked a little bare with just chicken and peppers. A side of steamed green beans with 1Tbsp of clarified butter melted on top. The soup was delicious! At first it doesn't look like a lot to eat, but then as you eat it, you begin to get full fast. But I would definitely recommend this if you're absolutely craving pho. Like I said before, with the spices you add in, it tastes and smells almost exactly like it!

I can feel my body start to feel lighter, but I'm still craving Snickers and Reese's. Oh and wine... Yeah. I'll be doing a more well rounded evaluation tomorrow seeing as how it will be the end of my first week. Hope you're enjoying it so far! Please leave any questions or comments below!
