Whole 30, Day 23

Yes, I'm still at it, though I haven't kept up the daily posts. My travel to DC messed with that, and I came home to an almost entirely lost weekend. Despite that, I have been mostly adhering to the plan (by which I don't mean I ate something off-plan, but rather that I didn't have protein at a meal and doubled up on avocado instead (um, avocados have very little protein). The big difference is the lack of planning, shopping and cooking over a weekend. I'm getting it back in the road, slowly.

Meal 1: 2 scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes

Meal 2: Sausage patties, Big Salad

Meal 3: Sausage patties, Big Salad

I'm quite depressed, though it's mostly situational...there just seem to be an awful lot of situations at one time. You know how it is.

On Saturday, Nancy and I are giving a baby shower for daughter-in-love Courtney. Not sure how I will work the food for that, on what will be Day 26 (!!!). We are going to shop at Sam's that morning, so I'll be sure to get some crudites at least...

Onward.

I woke up today, for the first time since the first day of this, feeling absolutely nauseated at the idea of breakfast. That's been my MO for my whole life, and why I am a lifelong breakfast skipper.

So I stood in the kitchen and I said,"I really REALLY don't want to eat any eggs or anything else!" and the kitchen had no good reply for me. So I did it.

Feel fine now, here at work.

Friday Five: Random

Karla says at RevGals:

Hello Gals and Pals,

Happy Valentine's Day!  I know that some (a lot) of you are digging out from snow and ice and lack of electricity.  We feel for you, and love you!     Some of you have a love-hate relationship with Valentine's Day.  'Nuff said.     I happen to enjoy Valentine's Day in spite of having exactly one date ever on VD (before I was married).   I love celebrating Love!   So, all that is to say is that our Friday Five is to tell us about five random things that you love.   

I love music in worship 

Avocados!

Fresh cut flowers

Having mopped (but not mopping)
