OMG! I woke up with major hunger pangs! Ok, I exaggerate but seriously I typically wake up hungry. D can go hours and not eat. I just can't and I refuse to! I think about food a lot and I find it weird when keto or low carb people say they just don't think about their next meal because they are full. WHAT?!? I go from I'm full, still full, I'm ok to where is the food I need to eat now. I can also tell when I need to get soon or the hangry will come out.
I played in bed for a moment and thought about what I was going to whip up for myself after I fed the cat and dogs. The cat is like me, feed me now, right now. Wait, that's every cat when I think about it! I made a pot of coffee (decaf, swiss water processed) from Whole Foods 365 brand. Side note on Whole Foods, I love them. They have everything I need, the prices are great and bonus that they are a mile from the store. But let's get back to what I had for breakfast.
I took my steamed broccoli and just warmed that (I over cooked it the other day!) and sautéed kale and a cabbage/carrot/kale mix from Whole Foods in some coconut oil. I added chorizo sausage close to the end of cooking so it could warm up. Salt and pepper and that's it! So easy, but ya know.... I find myself a little hungry still.
After breakfast it was time for yoga. Day 2 of Yoga with Adriene's Truth. It was a good practice and just what I needed to get ready for the gym. Then I got ready headed to the gym - quad and chest was the focus today. After that was Whole Foods for some staples.
I was certainly ready for lunch when I got home. Luckily, it was already done, all I had to do was reheat it and top it with avocado!
Chocolate Chili from Melissa Joulwan. There is a theme going forward with this Whole30! She makes it super easy. Not having to put much thought into your meals everyday is just what I need. The only thing I did different was use the Instant Pot instead of the slow cooker.
Dinner was a take on Twice Baked Sweet Potato from Paleo Running Momma. I made a few slight changes due to some allergies. I omitted the nutritional yeast, used horseradish mustard and I had removed the skins from the potato and mashed everything. I scaled the recipe down to only make 2 servings. D had white sweet potato and I had a japanese purple potato. It was totally delish and something I will make again. I think with that potato I had a ton of carbs and feel full where I know I won't feel like I need a snack later. That always a good thing!
After a busy morning and afternoon I have the kitchen cleaned up and the big dawg sleeping next to me. Time for some relaxation!
Until tomorrow, day 3!
