Whole30 -- Day 9

Hi friends!

"I don't always sit in ridiculous positions, but when I do, I go all out."

You've been begging for I've been dying to show you a crazy-cat-lady picture, so I succumbed did. You can thank me later.

Like yesterday, today was super busy, and I am about ready to crash.

(This whole "better sleeping" thing is my favorite part of all about the Whole30, but wow, I am tired around bed time. It's crazy what happens when your internal clock gets a hold of you, huh?)

School was surprisingly busy today, especially given the fact that I am not necessarily doing a whole lot since I have a fabulous student teacher. After school, I treated myself to a manicure:

I feel like I'm throwing up a gang sign. But no: it's
just super-awkward show-off-the-nails hand pose.

As soon as I got home, I cleaned up a bit in the kitchen (finished dishes from last night, scrubbed the crock pot, etc.) and then cooked dinner.

Then, my work-boyfriend and I decided to head to the sub-state basketball game to support our kiddos:

I need to figure out how to look at the camera during selfies. Ugh.

It was a really, really good game from what Work-Boyfriend and I saw, but we left halfway through the fourth quarter.

And, it turns out we lost. Bummer.

Breakfast:

Like I predicted yesterday, I again made the Sweet & Savory Blueberry Tortilla for breakfast. (Obviously mine is a little more "scrambled" than "tortilla." I get impatient, what can I say?) Again, it was delicious.

However, I have been really hungry today (and I kind of was yesterday, too), and I almost think it's because of my breakfast. While it has quite a bit of protein, it does not have any vegetables, which is a huge Whole30 no-no. If I make this again, I'm going to have to add a salad or something because wow: growling tummy = no bueno.

Lunch:

This is not a very pretty picture: my apologies.

Today, I ate leftover Korean Short Ribs and veggies for lunch. Just like last night, it was super delicious -- so delicious, in fact, that one of my students stole some broccoli from me and was pretty darn impressed. I also ate an apple.

Dinner:

Chili-Garlic Shrimp & Spicy Broccoli
(and a random cucumber)

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite meals for two reasons: first, it is really tasty, and second, it is really fast and easy.

I have been getting a little sick of veggies lately because I am eating so many of them at every single meal, but I have quickly learned that if I saute them and douse them in crushed red pepper, they're delicious.

Snack:

Like I said, I have been super hungry today. I have consumed plenty of water, and both lunch and dinner were whole, nutritious meals. (Breakfast was nutritious, but I'm not considering it "whole" since I was missing veggies.)

So, I ate some macadamia nuts about an hour ago, just so that my stomach would stop growling. While I'm still a bit hungry, I'm going to chug down some more water before bed and hope that satiates me until tomorrow's breakfast -- when I will eat eggs, sausage, and loads and loads of veggies.
