| My post-work snack |
I apologize for not posting for the past few days. I have been busy busy busy. Trying to get through
my first week of school and last week of my internship. It is going to take a while to get used to my new schedule, which is going to change next week when I go back to working part time at the law firm. Needless to say, and will probably come as no shock, my Whole30 has really been lacking this past week. I know i've said this repeatedly but I really need to plan. I have this Monday off and it is going to be devoted to meal planning.

So over the past two days I have been sticking to Whole30, except I really struggle in the mornings to eat vegetables. I have been snacking on some meat and fruit in the morning, which I know is not good. I had broccoli and steak this morning for breakfast so that was kosher with the Whole30 program. Went out to lunch and got a cobb salad with turkey. I have found that it isn't super difficult to go out and eat on Whole30 - except I feel like I constantly eat cobb salads. And I modify a lot of things when I order them. I also find eating out kind of a waste of money because I struggle paying $11 for a burger when all I am really going to eat is the patty. Plus, what am I supposed to do about condiments? Bring my own homemade ketchup? Eh... I don't think that's possible unless I carried around a little cooler in my purse. So after my Whole30 I might go back to eating regular condiments every now and then.

| Fruit > Cake |
Today was the last day of my internship and the lovely people I worked with decided to get me and the other intern a cake, cards, and a certificate. BUT the best thing that happened was a lady named Bonnie, who knew that I was doing Whole30 and couldn't have cake, went out of her way to cut up a bunch of fruit and make a fruit plate! It was amazing. Strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi, and pineapple. Soooo tasty and I didn't really crave the cake. Well scratch that - I wanted a piece. But after it was all said and done I felt just as satisfied with my fruit. It is very refreshing to know that there are people who support you and what you're trying to accomplish. I am blessed to have such a supportive network of friends and family to help me on my Whole30 journey.
And if any of you are going to start Whole30 and need a buddy to do it with I would be glad to join you! It really has changed the way I view food, and I can't ever see myself going back to the way I ate before this...
