Whole30 Day 9

The Whole30 isn't just about food for me. The month of March was pretty overwhelming so I needed a reset on life. Physically and mentally. One thing I have made a point to do this month is get outside and spend time with my kids. Squirrel and LB are at a great age to play outside. It was gorgeous today so we went to the beach. The water is still cold but they had a great time playing in the sand.

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???
