Whole30 - Day 9

Today, I hit a wall. A soft wall, mind you. But a wall none the less. I woke up absolutely exhausted after sleeping a full 8 hours. I'm hoping it was just the weather; we woke up to grey and rainy dreariness. Only tomorrow will tell.

Day 9

How the book says I'll feel: Another "Noooo...my pants are TIGHTER!"

How I actually feel: Well, first off my pants weren't tighter. The opposite, actually. I purposely put on pants today to see how they felt. (They were getting a bit snug) They felt good and my long shirt wasn't as fitted around my tummy. Score!

Breakfast was eggless and delicious. A nice change. Roasted butternut squash, raspberries and sausage. Super yum. We were both pretty happy.

After dropping off the kid, I came home and quickly faded. So tired. A little nap sounded so good! Yeah, that little nap turned into 2 hours. Thank goodness I didn't have to work! The good thing is I slept through any hunger pangs. I woke up and made lunch.

I got creative for lunch today. I know what I can have now and so...

So much yum.
I made a Whole30 compliant BLT.

For dinner, we ate early because I had to work in the evening. Another big hit with cajun shrimp over spaghetti squash with sundried tomatoes. I only wish I had made more. It was a hit with the whole family. I will definitely make it again. Another thank you to @Whole30recipes on Instagram.

Husband says: Nothing extraordinary to report. A little gassy. Could be the sausage or the sweet 'taters. Content. Think I only felt tired because of the rainy weather.

5 reasons Aliens is still awesome

Aliens - In my opinion, THE sci-fi movie. Brought to us by the brilliant James Cameron - the guy responsible for many of my favorite movies of all time. (A douchey-douche if there ever was one, but man, that guy can direct the hell out of movie) After Ridley Scott's spectacularly terrifying Alien, it would be quite the challenge for anyone to take on a sequel. I mean, how many sequels can you name that are better or even live up to the original? Seven years later, 20th Century Fox handed the reins to Cameron and what he gave us didn't disappoint - an unadulterated, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride that made Alien look a little sleepy if I'm being honest. I shouldn't compare. They are two VERY different movies and each easily holds its own. Nonetheless, it's 30 years later and when I need a xenomorph fix, it's part 2 that always finds its way into my BluRay player. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. Sigourney Weaver as our heroine, Ellen Ripley. In the original s...

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...
