Whole 30 (round 2) Day 4 & 5

I woke up on Day 4 with a clear head thinking to myself "Today is going to be a good day." Then about an hour into the morning I realized I was VERY angry at EVERYTHING. I got very upset at the grocery store about not being able to eat cheese (which I am VERY fond of). I was just very irritable and half way through the day I felt very tired. I also had no appetite. Food in general was just not appetizing. So food wise it was a good day, but mood wise it was bad.

I'll just go on to Day 5 before sharing my meals because there's no good new here. I forgot to set my alarm the night before maybe because I was so tired but who really knows. Anyways, my day just didn't get off to a good start. I dropped K off at school and his teacher needed some help making some candles for a celebration next week. So I did that and it was very calming. I then got done doing the candles and the ladies setting up a Pop-Up Shop benefiting our school (Great Oak School) were in need of some help with some tasks. I ended up staying at school all day lending a helping hand. I returned home without any lunch only a Lara Bar (no, the real ones, not one I made hehe). On our way home there is this awesome new restaurant on the short cut to our neighborhood that has a big playground and sand pit for the kids. I had the thought "A sandwich and a beer on the patio sounds amazing." Well, Russell didn't object. In fact, he got really excited and agreed. So much for supporting each other. It's more like sabotaging each other. We went, enjoyed our beers and sandwich, Kannon had a blast playing on the playground and COVERED in sand. I am okay with my decision but I do have that twinge of regret.

So today I start over again. Day 1. Let's see if I can make it to day 6 this week! ;)

As far as meals go this is how my compliant meals went.

Breakfast- Coffee with coconut milk & cinnamon, egg and banana (day 4 & 5)

Lunch- the trusty old Chicken salad salad

Dinner- Simple Roasted Chicken, with purple sweet potato fries (tossed in olive oil salt/pepper roasted in the oven with the chicken for about an hour), and brussell sprouts (sliced in half sauteed in ghee, salt, pepper, & garlic)

Purple Sweet Potato Fries

The Brussell Sprouts were the best part!
