Whole30 #2: Week 4

I'm feeling like the worst Whole30-er this time around, but I actually don't really care enough to start the 30 days over again.  I'm sticking to the plan when I can, not stressing about it when I can't (damn work meals), and having ONE drink or a small treat when I really want it.

Day 22: Feeling fine.  Still got a cold, and I'm hanging out with a sick Little Lady at home.

• Breakfast: Coffee
• Lunch: Italian sausage in chicken broth with arugula.
• Dinner: Leftover spaghetti squash and marinara (no more meatballs) 

Day 23: More work meetings involving food, but I made it work...

• Breakfast:  Coffee, and then a plain tea.  Stayed strong against the free pastries at my 9am meeting.
• Lunch: Spaghetti squash and marinara
• Dinner: Cilantro chicken burgers with avocado, caramelized onions and peppers, and roasted spicy cauliflower over arugula.

Day 24: Lots of personal errands to run

• Breakfast: Coffee
• Lunch: Left-over cilantro chicken burger
• Dinner: Italian sausage in chicken broth with arugula.

Day 25: Cancelled business meetings, Nana(Claus) is coming to town.

• Breakfast: Coffee and a smoothie.
• Lunch: I FINALLY KILLED THAT MARINARA & SPAGHETTI SQUASH!!!
• Dinner: [Carb-cation commences] Meatball parm grinder from Lil' Rizzo's.  So worth it.

Day 26: Our 5th anniversary and a quick trip to the Poconos.

• Breakfast: Coffee.  And a smoothie. And then more coffee.
• Lunch:  Italian sausage in chicken broth with arugula and an apple with almond butter.
• Dinner: [Carb-cation continues at an all-inclusive buffet] Broccolini, chicken from this stirfry thingy that was really good, a little bit of pasta, a huge piece of cake.
• Extras: Some chocolates from my honey, like 5 glasses of wine, 2 glasses of champagne, 2 cups of beer, and god knows what else because I don't believe I remember the whole episode.

Day 27: Still Carb-cationing, and I have the worst headache existing in Luzerne County, PA.

• Breakfast: Tea, an egg burrito thingy, some fruit and about 8 french toast sticks.
• Lunch: A rest stop whopper junior and some advil.  
• Dinner: Some crab-stuffed talapia thingy from Outback (yay for gift cards), some chocolate thunder dessert thingy, and 2 beers.

Day 28: Toddler birthday party!  p.s. I got to meet Michael Angelo, the TMNT. 

• Breakfast: Coffee, and scrambled eggs on a whole wheat english muffin.
• Lunch: Half a grilled chicken wrap, half a grilled veggie chicken wrap, about 5 mimosas, and the best freaking Ninja Turtle cake pop ever.
• Dinner: Bourbon pork tenderloin, sweet potato, and roasted asparagus.  I later ate my truck stop cookie purchased on Day 27 and washed it down with a beer. 

[Carb-cation concludes.]
