All good and a great, filling way to fuel for the day.

Lunch

Gus 'n' Us - Grilled Chicken Salad w/Walnuts, Dried Cherries, Mandarin Oranges & Strawberries

So delicious I couldn't stop eating until it was gone. I swear they put crack in their chicken! :)

Dinner

Turkey Lettwiches w/Cole Slaw & Grapes

The perfect, yummy, filling food for watching the Golden Globes.

I spent the afternoon at Trader Joe's with Bryan's mom, sister and baby niece. It's fun to make an adventure of grocery shopping, but it was sooo crowded! I got some good stuff though (Whole30 approved turkey kielbasa, freeze dried banana slices, eggs, Castile soap, and some fun bread for Bryan who is not doing the paleo thing).

Beginning with Wednesday, I'm going more strict and following the rules of the Whole30. It will end on Valentines day. I'm ready!

Whole30 Day 14

Today marks two weeks. It was a gloomy day thanks to a cloud filled sky, but I got through it without comfort foods like fried anything or chocolate.

Lunch was a rush to get some shopping done in order to have lunch ever again. My friend Cindy and I picked up... You guessed it, Arabic food!!! I got a salad with lamb.

Not nearly as good as the lamb at Malek al Kabob in Taylor, but it was good.

I got home late due to a doctor's appointment and the subsequent pharmacy trip (nothing to worry about, just a bit of eczema on my hand). I just grilled some squash and a natural, uncured, nitrate free, blah blah blah jumbo hotdog from Trader Joe's. nothing exciting here.

Tomorrow will be the halfway point and I can't wait!!! I'm really looking forward to being done with painting the house so I can try out more new recipes. I'm thinking I'll shoot for braised lamb shoulder on Friday.

Whole30 Day 9

It's the ninth day and I'm so confused. I thought I was hungry, but didn't want my soup at lunch, the same soup I was raving about last week. All I wanted was watermelon and it seems I polished of the container I bought from Trader Joe's this afternoon before I could take a picture.

Leftovers again for dinner, only this time they were from last week's middle eastern adventure. Same great flavor so nothing new or exciting.

What's more exciting than any food item is that I finally finished the bedroom!!!

No more aqua paint! Yaaaaay!

That's it for today. Nice round number 10 coming up next!
