Whole 30 Day 8

Well I completed one week on the Whole 30. I really want to make it to 30 days without any major slips. I think the key is to listen to your/my body and take time for myself right now. (This is a hard priority to make when I have a 5 month old and we just broke ground on our new home and the list goes on....)

But, trying to relax more and have more grace for myself.

This is the menu after I adjusted it with what I really ate all week:
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Snack Ideas
Monday Day 1
Tuma Salad on top of Fresh Grens
Larabars
Tuesday Day 2

Paleo Tex Mes
Veggies
Wednesday Day 3
Apples and PB
Thursday Day 4
Leftovers of Sweet Potato.. and Tex Mex
Asian chicken salad with friends…not totally whole 30.

Friday Day 5
 Slow Cooker Breakfast Meatloaf and Easy Over Egg

A little of the Asian Chicken Salad

Saturday Day 6
 Slow Cooker Breakfast Meatloaf and Easy Over Egg
Green salad with Grilled chicken

Sunday Day 7
1/4 Avocado, Veggies, Nuts and Seeds
Cinnamon Braised Beef  bone broth  over sautéed zucchini and peppers…topped with cilantro and g onions


You will notice a lot of leftovers...one would think that you would get tired of the same dish that many times. Well my husband travels and I have a seven and nine year old boy that tend not to eat the variety that I would like them to. I really enjoyed the food and even as leftovers...not having to cook and knowing that it was Whole 30 already is marvelous.

Today being Day 8..I am pretty tired and my back is sore - this could be from wearing the a baby Bjorn.  Below...I share a few pictures of the food that I made and thoughts on each dish.

Sweet Potato Apple and Bacon Hash

Paleo Tex-Mex Casserole

Slow Cooker Breakfast Meatloaf with Steamed Spinach and Topped with an Over Easy...Broken Egg.

I would love to ramble on about the above meals...but really I am behind and want to get to Day 9 where I am today.

The Sweetest Sound...

Image
It is summer vacation…my five and seven year old have learned that it is ok to sleep past 7 am…I am enjoying a cup of coffee and getting laundry folded before the rush of the day begins. Then, I hear the sound of my seven year olds bed as he wakens… (I keep thinking I am going to add a few more screws to his bed so it quits making this sound, but now am kind of use to it and think it might be nice as he gets older – there will be no sneaking out of his bed.)   I kept waiting to hear his pitter patter down the stairs and in search of me…so I can hear the normal morning requests, “Can I watch TV? and/or Can I play Wii with you?” Not this morning…instead I hear him moving around upstairs and not coming down. I finish the laundry and decide I will go check on him. Earlier in the morning, I had been on the phone with my DH(Dear Husband) and he had asked me to set some tape and wrapping paper out for them, I thought I could do this after they woke up…cuz after all in my mind I thought ...

Have a Little Faith...

Need a good book to read? I finished one this summer that I truly enjoyed by the author, Mitch Albom, who also wrote, “Tuesdays with Morie.” I picked it up at my parents’ house…thank you to my sister-n-law, who does not even know that I have it, for letting me borrow it. I am really enjoying it. Probably a good book to read at this phase of my life.   It is not often that I want to highlight a book as I read it..this is one that I am jotting down all of my favorite phrases as I read…here are a few… Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe. Mom, you're not listening with your eyes. Jesus -  He lifts me up. He rearranges me.  He repositions me.  By myself, I’m no good… But he makes all the difference. That kind of love - the kind you realize you already have by the life you created together, that’s the kind that lasts.  Because the word commitment has lost its meaning.  I’m old enough to remember w...

"Kick a Bug Juice"

A while back I was tackling that uncontrollable pile of magazines that always acculmulates in my house. I came across a recipe for "kick a bug" juice. I hung it on the cupboard and thought I would use it the next time I was sick. Well, about six months later...I have a head cold that is just lingering on. Mom of two little ones being a the slightest bit sick is no fun at all. So I threw together the "kick the bug" juice. I just so happend to have all the ingredients on hand. I am not sure if it is the mixture that is kicking the bug or the thought of actually drinking this concoction that makes one think themself better. Nonetheless I am giving it a try and will definately report back on how I think it works. The recipe comes from Carolinas Natural Health Center. Kick-a-Bug Juice Indications : Sore throat or any inflammation or infection in the throat and neck ear infections nasal or sinus congestion This potent juice will amp your immune system and get y...
