The Details
Last night I wasn't even hungry after practice!  And when I woke up today, I wasn't really hungry either.  So, with the foods I'm eating - I'm satisfied!

Well today I learned just how difficult it is to eat out when on the Whole 30 journey.  Not impossible but it does require a lot of diligence in asking how things are prepared.  I didn't expect to go out twice today but after a meeting, we ended up going to lunch at Chipotle.  It was the first time in my life that I haven't had sour cream or cheese (or a tortilla) on my Chipotle order.  I also didn't get chips like usual.  I think that has been one of the most challenging aspects so far.....I really like to eat thin, crunchy things - croutons, crackers, chips, etc.  I know that I can eat nuts or fresh vegetables that have a crunch to them but it's just not the same.  Despite this, lunch was pretty awesome!

I also had happy hour plans.  My friend was great about asking where I might be able to eat so I chose a restaurant that offers grass-fed beef and sweet potatoes.  After asking many questions about how the burger was prepared or if it contained any additives, I then found myself asking how the sweet potato fries were prepared.  Turns out that while the burgers contained no additives the sweet potato fries are cooked in canola oil.  Since I had just consumed chipotle a few hours before, I wasn't really that hungry.  My friend got regular french fries and they definitely looked delicious but I refrained.  I can't imagine

Despite my ongoing desire for a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, I'm not too sad about cutting out dairy yet.  I don't really have headaches, which is a great thing, but overall I'm just tired.  I'm not sure if that's because I've had a crazy week or if I'm getting sick.

I researched how to make homemade Larabars so I can save some cash.  Check out my pinterest page for the recipes!  New experiment for tomorrow!

Overall, not too bad of a day.....just want a really long nap.
