Whole 30: Day 6
Breakfast: eggs, salmon, sweet potato wedges, strawberries
Lunch: nothing
Dinner: steak, fish, salad, sautéed spinach, tomatoes
Snack: pistachios
Today was a great day!
It was great because I was actually able to experience the difference in
the way my body processes food when I eat really clean. My normal grazing (which included yogurt,
granola bars and other “healthy” snacks) required me to eat every 3 – 4 hours
or I would risk a migraine. I would
never do as I did today and go almost 8 hours between meals! I was even amazed at how good I felt.
I should explain that it was never my intention to go that
long without food. But I must have
realized subconsciously that it would be a busy day because I ate a huge
breakfast. My plan was to mix leftover salmon in with my scrambled eggs but the
salmon created quite a bit of oil when I flaked and heated it so I drained the
excess oil (yeah, I know it’s good fat but it was a bit too fishy for me at
breakfast time) and ate the salmon as a side dish.
Then my husband and I went to his new office to take care of
some business for his upcoming opening.
We kept thinking we were reaching a stopping point but we were being
super productive. Before we realized it,
it was 5pm! Ravenous, we decided to go
directly to a restaurant for a really good meal and to celebrate our progress.
We order caprese salad as an appetizer which translated into
tomatoes and basil for me since I skipped the mozzarella. The meal came with a salad but I asked them
to hold the dressing and bring oil and vinegar.
He ordered wahoo and I ordered steak. We shared our entrees so we could have a sort
of surf and turf.
The food was
phenomenal even though I cannot remember having a great steak without an
accompanying glass of equally great red wine.
I almost gave in but then gave myself the “man up!” talk and settled on a
cool glass of agua. I also asked for a side of sauteed spinach which was cooked with olive oil, salt, and lemon juice - can you say awesome!
Day 6 done!
