Whole 30 - Day 4

I had a very restless night last night. Mainly because I had to pee like every 2 hours. Will my body ever get used to consuming this much water? I was also plagued with vivid dreams. I'm no stranger to these but I thought it was worth mentioning since Husband seems to have the same thing going on.

Day 4

How the book says I'll feel: "Kill all the things." So. Much. Rage.

How I actually feel: I woke up in a pretty good mood. However, was a bit irritable later in the day. No murderous thoughts, thank goodness. And I'm not actually certain if it was hangriness or 3rd day of my period-ness, to be honest. 

Breakfast was eggs and sausage with sliced tomato. Pretty good but neither of us finished. So many eggs. I like eggs but not everyday. Spent a few minutes after breakfast googling "Whole30 Breakfast NO EGGS!" Found a few good ones to add to our repertoire.

Lunch was leftovers from last night. Very satisfactory. Wasn't feeling too-too hungry for lunch but kept my schedule and finished like a good girl. 

Hunger pangs crept in around 3pm still. I ate half of a Larabar and then drank some tea. That helped.

Dinner tonight (pictured below) was out of this world. I threw a pork tenderloin in the crocker with all-kindsa-spices and turned it into carnitas, which I served over a sweet potato hashbrown (cooked in coconut oil) and homemade pico de gallo. There were only enough leftovers for one of us and husband claimed it first. Damn! It was fan-frickin-tastic! Thanks, @Whole30recipes again!

Husband says: Not anymore angry than usual. Had heartburn randomly but only for a minute. And today's poo was disappointing. Dinner was great! Lunch (leftover "Melissa's Chicken Hash" [Whole30 Book recipe] from yesterday) was disappointing. FYI - It's not very good the next day. Better fresh. Too pungent.

Bonus: Got organized and prepared breakfast for tomorrow morning. *High five*

This is tomorrow's breakfast. Egg Fritatta recipe from the Whole30 book.

Paleo carnitas. Seriously, to die for.

Extra Cheese: A Tale of Heartbreak

I’ve become the very thing I used to mock. If 5-years-ago-me   heard some of the things coming out of Today-me’s mouth regularly, I’d scoff, “Suck it up!” and take another bite of my extra-cheese pizza and gulp a drink of beer. But, oh how times have changed. I’ve been reduced to 3 questions: “Do you have gluten-free options?” “Can I get lactose-free milk?” “Is it possible to leave off the sesame seeds?” A little background: I’ve basically been in some sort of pain for about the last year or so. I got used to taking daily Ibuprofen’s, sometimes Naproxen. Some days Ibuprofen and Aspirin. And still some days both with a heating pad. That’s just how it was going to be now. I’m in my 40’s and (according to one useless Doctor’s analysis and dismissal) and I should just learn to cope as I begin my decade-long slide into menopause. Yeah, thanks. My discomfort sent me to the emergency room 3 times. Blood work showed nothing and I was beginning to lose hope. Then, af...

"The Nun" - My review

The Nun (2018) Directed by Corin Hardy *****Spoiler Alert***** Here we go. Another installation in James Wan's Conjuring universe. So far, it is #1 at the box office and that's really no surprise. It's predecessors were major hits and we were all hungry for another bite. We were first introduced to The Nun in 2016's The Conjuring 2. Like most, I thought she was absolutely terrifying. Unlike most, I suppose, I always find a seemingly random villain more unnerving. That air of this could happen to you  hanging in the air like an ominous cloud. But, the masses screamed for more and very quickly The Nun backstory was coming to theaters. Now, to be fair, when I found out they were making this I, too, was on board. I'm always down for a scary movie. I love to see them in the theater. Even when the initial reviews came back and weren't so good, that didn't deter me. I find it a very rare thing that a horror movie gets a fair shake. True lover's o...

Bronze

On one of our first dates, Matt took me to Luby's for lunch. I remember sitting there giggling over a heap of fried okra (and other delectable cafeteria fare) and thinking, "This guy someone I want to know." Just a few hours earlier, he had picked me up, drove me to the mall and told me he wanted "to buy me something pretty." Indeed he did. No expense was spared, in fact. After, we ate Luann Platters and   toasted our sweet tea in plastic cups. The bar was set pretty high. I couldn't have been happier. And that's my Matthew in a nutshell. He treats me like a queen wherever we go - be it a fancy boutique or a greasy diner. The world is our stage and we're always having a ball. Ask anyone. It's funny to me that two people who swore they would never EVER get married turned out to be really good at it. We fight, sure. (Boy! We've had some good ones!) We annoy each other almost daily. (Just put the dishes in the sink, ok?!) But we also laugh. ...
