Whole30 food : : 2

(posting on day 3)


Dinner for me last night: ground lamb (pre-cooked with olive oil, salt, pepper, onion flakes and granulated garlic) scrambled with one pastured egg, sauerkraut and half an avocado with Kosher salt.

This was a little too much food (the lamb in particular), but I was trying to compensate (in retrospect) for how crappy I was feeling.  I think my body is having a hard time withdrawing from sugar.  (My body is having a hard time, I think it's from the sugar.)  I had a headache most of the day which got progressively worse.  By evening I was in a mostly vegetative state.

I had kind of forgotten that apricots put my GI system through the wringer.  I was so desperate for the "sweet" that I ate more than a handful yesterday.  It's going to be a week of adjustment foodwise.  I have CSA veggies in the fridge, but I am so tired, and today sore, that I don't have the energy to prep and cook.

I rely on the kindness of ground meat, eggs and avocado.  I'm sure I'll be eating this again, today.  I have defrosted the last of the chicken stock.  Today is going to be about 100ยบ...I can't imagine I'll be making soup.  The weather should break in a day or two.  Then, soup.  With veg and seaweed.

Peace and love.
