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.

5 Things I've learned so far...

1. Our baby has fingerprints already. I'm not sure why but this freaks me out. 2. Pregnancy heartburn is NO JOKE. Before this, I think I'd had heartburn twice in my life. I'm Mexican for Christ's sake! We love our spicy food. I guess I have to go easy for the next few months. Boo. 3. I can't watch "A Baby Story" without being reduced to a sobbing mess. But I find myself turning the channel for the delivery part. 4. The placenta & baby (aka alien) are about the size of an avocado right now. 5. Our baby will have duel citizenship. Cool, huh?

Here's a tip: Be nice, Jerk!

When I was about 12 years old, I remember my Mom saying to me, "I think everyone should have to work in a restaurant at least once." Having never really gotten my hands dirty, pockets padded with babysitting money, I thought, "Nope" and just shrugged my shoulders. Four years later, I'd be saying "Yep" to my first job as a seating hostess at Red Lobster. As first jobs go, it wasn't a bad one. "How many?...Right this way...Do you need a highchair?...smoking or non-smoking?" (The good old days) Easy. Honestly, I don't remember how long I held this job. Maybe a year or so. For the most part, the customers were civil, even nice but mostly forgettable. I only saw them for a few minutes, after all. It wouldn't be until years later, that I would cross the threshold from seating to serving. ("Welcome to Thunderdome, Bitch!") That's when the real fun began -- my crash course in human nature. It's amazing what people ca...

I'm back!

A while ago, my laptop died. There was no warning, no clue that something was wrong. As suddenly as it had come into my life, it drifted away and with it, my blog, my therapy...and a little bit of my sanity. There it sat in a drawer mocking me. With every intention to get it fixed a funny thing happened - life. You know, that thing that occurs while you're busy making plans? And just like that it was forgotten ... until a few weeks ago. A friend said, "Let me take a look." And here we are. The best Christmas presents are those that are already paid for, aren't they?! So now I find myself a few years later, a little older, hopefully a little wiser, most definitely a little more tired thinking of trying this blogging thing again. It seems so appropriate that it should start at the beginning of the year. I know, I know... all aboard the bandwagon . I'm not into resolutions, really. But if I'm looking at this as a new beginning, I guess I can set some goals, rig...
