Got to 'sleep in'...but good ole alarm clock in my head woke me up at 7:30am. No worries, felt well rested and ready to tackle the day. Went for a run before breakfast, bad idea. I was starving about 20 steps into the run. Nonetheless, I forged through and got a decent workout out of it. Breakfast was probably the best I've had in years. I would compare it to chocolate chip pancakes in my pre-paleo life. Scrambled eggs with proscuitto and a side of 'oatmeal.' I mashed sweet potato and banana with coconut milk and cinnamon and topped it with walnuts. I could not get enough of it. I wish I had it right now.
Lunch sucked. It was families weekend on campus and we had a bunch of recruits staying overnight, so my assistant and I visited the overcrowded, not-so-paleo friendly dining hall. I had a boring salad with balsamic vinegar and EVOO on top. The most exciting part of it was watercress. Exactly. Watercress- not gonna seal the deal for me.
Dinner has been planned for about a week now. There is an awesome restaurant in Harrisonburg that only serves local and grass-fed, organic food- The Local Chop and Grill House. DELISH. I had a Ribeye with gazpacho, steamed asparagus and veggies. I haven't had a steak yet on the whole30....not sure what I was waiting for.
A little red wine would've gone nicely with this one....instead, settled for a soda water with lime. Could've sworn it was Sprite. My taste buds have started to transform. I find my mouth watering about certain fruits, and now about my sweet potato/banana oatmeal concoction. I'm feeling stronger and have more conviction every day about this challenge. After Monday I will be half way through. Piece of cake. mmmm, cake. Damn!
