The things I've noticed really isn't about how we feel, but about how much effort we are putting into preparing our meals. We are cooking more than usual, cleaning more dishes than usual, and I feel a lot more aware of constantly needing to be cooking or preparing or defrosting or chopping something. It's slightly exhausting for me, working full time and having many commitments in the evenings. However, Ethan has been super helpful. He always cleans up while I'm cooking so after meals, we don't have many dishes to wash. He helps me chop and he almost always makes breakfast by himself. If he weren't doing this with me, I probably wouldn't be motivated to continue at all. Thankful!

Day 12 - Whole30

Day 12 - October 24, 2014

Breakfast - eggs (3 since we didn't have bacon) with kale and onion, pineapple, coffee
Snack - banana (half)
Lunch - leftovers - fridge clean out!
Snack - cashews
Dinner - leftover bacon avocado sliders - Yay!

Froday was a good day again. Ewe have energy, we are feeling good, we feel encouraged and ready to keep going. 

Day 11 - Whole30

Day 11 - October 23, 2014

Breakfast - eggs with onion, avocado, pineapple, bacon, coffee
Snack - almonds
Lunch - leftover coconut shrimp
Snack - cashews
Dinner - bacon burger sliders (on sweet potatoes) with sauteed kale, onion, and bell pepper

This has been our favorite dinner so far. It was so delicious that we can hardly wait for leftovers!

We are still feeling good. We have more energy, are sleeping better, are more alert

Day 10 - Whole30

Day 10 - October 22, 2014

Lunch - tuna, spinach, carrots, guacamole, half an apple (Ethan had leftovers)
Snack - cashews
Dinner - coconut shrimp with sauteed veggies and a mango/pineapple/pepper puree for dipping

Today we are both having some allergy issues. My stomach is still adjusting to all the new amounts of food and such we're eating, but overall, we feel great!

Day 9 - Whole 30

Yesterday we were really tired and sluggish, but as I mentioned, I don't think it was from Whole30. Today we both woke up alert and ready to go (which for me is a miracle!). So far we are feeling good today!

Day 8 - Whole30

Last night we both slept terribly, thanks to a really super sad movie, and my allergies are going haywire today, so I haven't been feeling my best. Yesterday we both felt so good and energetic. Today is a different story, but I don't think it's the fault of our Whole30 program. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day!
