Day 11: Quite an Eventful Day

Today was a very interesting day for my Whole30 experience. Only the second day since I started that I went out to eat, and boy I went out to eat. I met some friends for lunch at a taco place and instead of getting a taco without the tortilla I decided to get a jicama salad with a side of grilled chicken breast. Sadly I didn't take a picture of it, but it was essentially some jicama sticks, cucumber, and mandarin oranges on a bed of carrots... Needless to say it had no lettuce or spinach and it was pretty pathetic looking. More and more I am feeling like a rabbit. So I failed at lunch at being really creative with my Whole30 because I could've gotten away with eating a taco minus the cheese and tortilla with sauce on the side. Oh well - you live and you learn.

One of these things is not like the other

After work I met up with my friends to hang out for the evening (how old lady did that just sound?). I took
some leftover chicken and carrots in my lunchbox, so that I could have that for dinner. I was around alcohol more than usual today and it was tough to not partake - not gonna lie. Going to a bar and sitting there drinking water isn't as fun as sippin on a nice cold one. And sometimes people ask why I am not drinking. But there are many reasons people don't drink. Medicine, pregnancy, other health reasons, religion, personal choice. Whatever the reason may be, not everyone drinks. But it is a VERY social thing to do and it was hard to not join in tonight. We went to Top Golf and the group ordered some chips, guac, quesssssso, beer, and wings. I decided to enjoy some rabbit food (aka carrots and celery), while every once in a while being super adventurous and dipping it in the guac.

Overall it was a tough but good day. I feel confident that I can finish the rest of my days out strong. I am feelin good but it will be nice to have a glass of alcoholic drink every now and then.
