We also met someone that had her pet parrot out there. Weird? Maybe... but the kids loved the little bird.
Anyways on to food...
Breakfast:
I reheated some leftovers. Not nearly as good as eggs.
Lunch:
One hard boiled egg mashed with a can of tuna and half an avocado. Plus leftover roasted sweet potato and carrots topped with coconut butter. This lunch was awesome!
Dinner:
Leftovers! On a bed of sweet potatoes topped with sunshine sauce.
First rule of paleo? Learn to like leftovers.
Exercise:
30 minute chest workout plus an hour of yoga. Back at the gym!
How I feel:
I really wanted something sweet today. Chocolate or a cookie would have been ideal. That has to be normal even while doing the Whole30. Will cravings ever go away when you are stressed or emotional? I don't think so. What do you think???

I think craving sweets is normal, it when it overtakes your eating when it is a problem. I have really noticed my cravings have gone way down the last two days. I am also play inane being more active with Violet which I love.
I'm so jealous of your trip to the beach!! Food looks good! I agree, learn to like leftovers. I can't believe how many leftovers I am eating...never used to before. My kids even had leftover meatballs tonight! I was so proud lol. I think I need to cut back on the fruit and raisins because I feel like I'm relying on them DAILY. *sigh* No one's perfect though :)
I'm also jealous about your gorgeous weather at the beach! It's rainy in Raincouver.... beautiful photos! :)
Since "sweet" is one of our tastes (like salty, sour, etc.), I think it's something that's always there in some way, shape or form. The difference (I believe) is in how "sweet" can be satisfied. The SAD is too caught up with lots of refined sugar, and a constant craving for it. Whereas, if you eat more holistically, sweet can come from fruit and even sweet vegetables. :)
I thought about just eating half a banana or something. I totally agree with you on this!
Aww! Thank you. The weather was beautiful.
No one is perfect... You are exactly right. I need to research some whole30 snacks because it seems like all there is to eat are nuts, fruit, veggies, and hardboiled eggs.
Sunshine sauce is awesome! I never thought of sweet as a break from savory.... You are right about that!
Love the beach pictures...you look great!
We have definitely learned to like leftovers. Before Whole30 it seemed like we were always throwing food away but now we make sure to eat it all.
I know for me the sweet cravings have lessened quite a bit but some days that desire is still there! Sometimes just a little bit of coconut butter does the trick for me. :)
Those are really great pictures from the beach! Looks like yuo had a nice day with the kids.
Awesome Whole30 blog posts!
I am doing the 21 day sugar detox and checking out Whole30 blogs to see if I can do this next.
I love love leftovers because it's one less meal for me to cook and worry about. Plus I can make a big batch and it can last for days.
I had a hardboiled egg and avocado for breakfast and adding tuna sounds like a good idea. Not sure if my coworker will appreciate the tuna smell tho. So i'll have to try it out on a weekend =)
Aww girl... Seems like everyone is sick. I hope you feel better!
Maybe try chicken in that mix! When my husband takes stuff like that to work people hate it. They always say his food smells weird. I guess because it's not Wendy's or Subway haha.
Thank! We really had a great day!
I was really hoping that feeling would just go away but I don't think it's going to. I will have to teach myself how to deal with it!
I see no problem at all with a little chocolate now and then! A little taste after dinner is sometimes all I need!
What I think I mean is that if you address your cravings little by little you can keep it under control. But, that approach might not work for everyone.
I've thought about extending mine just for those sugar cravings. I don't think people realize how much they rely on sugar....
