Guess
I have lost my mind. Today I was starting my first Whole30®. I had every
intention of starting it. However, I did nothing to prepare for it. I guess I
thought I would just wake up and everything I would need would have magically
appeared in my pantry and fridge.Well that didn't happen but......I did
discover that I had enough things that are The Whole30® approved to make it
through the day. I always make a batch of soup on the weekend and I freeze a
couple of bowls for emergencies, like when I am just too tired to cook. I
always have eggs on hand. I usually have a batch of homemade salsa. I always
have pickles. So for breakfast I fixed 2 scrambled eggs with salsa and a cup
of coffee and then it hit me. I DO NOT drink black coffee. I can't imagine why
anyone would. But, I needed coffee. I couldn't even conceive of going a day
without it. Wasn't it enough that I was saying goodbye to cokes? So I made a
compromise with myself. Instead of the usual 3 tablespoons of powdered creamer
I would only use one. Instead of the usual 1 tablespoon of sugar, I would use
1/2. The plan was to gradually learn to drink it black. So I wasn't exactly
doing it The Whole30® way, but I was heavily influenced by it. For lunch I
took a bowl of vegetable soup from the freezer and a cucumber. I love, love,
love drinking water, so my fridge at school stays stocked with water, sparkling
and plain. I made it through to the end of the day and headed to the grocery
store. Tonight's dinner would be done right and I would buy food for the rest
of the week. I am good with chicken. Can in fact cook it about a million
different ways that The Whole30® would approve of, so I bought a lot of
chicken (cage-free), pasteurized eggs, veggies, fruit (which I figured would go
bad because I don’t like fruit) and some ground grass-fed beef. Many $$ later I
was at home starting to prepare to do it right.
