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.)

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...

"Smile! It increases your face value!"

I'm usually in a pretty good mood. * I'm usually quick to smile; quick to laugh. I like to say "hi" to people on the street. I like to hug good friends. I like to kiss my husband. I like to keep it light and try not take it all so seriously. It's a conscious decision, albeit not always an easy one. Most days, though, I'm pretty good at NOT giving into the bullshit. Recently, in my Kickboxing class, (my new passion!!) I was paired with a 20-something girl for the partner drills. I greeted her with a smile. Nothing. I cracked a lame joke about how we should try to NOT punch each other in the face. *crickets* (Does she not realize I'm a delight?!) Then we started our exercises; me with a mid-level intensity and steady beat to the Flo Rida song booming over the sound system; her with an intense fervor like she was training for her next MMA fight. Now, I kept up. (Awwwww yeeeeahhhhh!) But I was (at first) more than a little annoyed. I wanted to say, "Y...

"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...
