Whole30 - Day 11

Woke up at bit tired today. Also woke up without much of an appetite. Well, to be clear, with not much of an appetite for a big, hearty Whole30 breakfast...that I'd have to cook.

Day 11

How the book says I'll feel: The last day of "The Hardest Days." Will you quit?

How I actually feel: Still hanging in there. Feeling good. A bit tired but light. I can feel my blood flowing purely through my veins....or maybe it's just that I've realized that it's been 11 days since I've eaten any junk. I've definitely been detoxed by now. That's actually pretty cool.

Breakfast was a chore. I just wasn't hungry. I ate it up though; scrambled eggs, avocado and grapes. I was pretty busy right after. No time for hunger pangs.

For lunch, I ate a spicy ground pork patty (Organic) and a bushel (bunch?) of carrots dipped in homemade ranch. Quite satisfactory.

Around 2 p.m., I waited again to see if I would get my mid-afternoon slump. I am very happy to say NOPE! Feeling pretty alert. Made a cup of tea and decided to start the chopping for dinner tonight which was...



Whole30 Chicken Cacciatorre. This is the recipe that is featured on the cover of the book and I've had my eye on it since we began. Flavors were good, delicious even, but it turned out a bit soupier than I would have liked. Also, If you choose this, I highly suggest using boneless chicken AND making something else to accompany it. They say it's a "one pot meal that can stand on it's own" but I would have to disagree. For it's 2 hours later and I a hungry. A few almonds should do the trick...

Husband says: Nothing to report. (He's in a mood, I'll let him slide tonight.)

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...
