Whole30: Day 2

I miss my coffee already.

Breakfast
Sweet potato breakfast bowl. (See Day Zero for link.) This was really good. I would eat this if I weren't doing Whole30. I had baked several sweet potatoes a couple of days ago, so I removed the skin, put it in a bowl, and heated it in the microwave. I added some almond butter, coconut milk, and cinnamon, and mixed it up with an immersion blender. Then I drizzled it with a little coconut milk and added some blueberries that I brought home from Maine. It was delicious, and I'm looking forward to having it again. 


Lunch
Tuna salad, carrot sticks, sliced tomato, watermelon

Snack
2 mini Larabars (cashew cookie, apple pie)

Dinner
Grilled chicken, curry sauce (from the Whole30 book--it was okay), sauteed squash, leftover roasted potatoes, watermelon (a recurring theme--I fucking love watermelon.)


I went to Target today in search of snacks and something besides water to drink. I ended up with the Larabars, which were tasty. I will definitely get a couple of boxes to keep in my desk drawer when I go back to work. I was hoping to find jerky, but everything at Target contained sugar. I'm going to try the health food store tomorrow. I've found a few Whole30-compliant brands of jerky online, but they're pretty pricey. We'll see.

As for drinks, I got pineapple strawberry LaCroix and a citrus herbal tea. I drink a ton of water, but sometimes you just need something else.

At the end of Day 2, I'm feeling good. I haven't really eaten that much differently than I normally would, as far as meals go. (Snacks are a different story.) The biggest difference is that I would usually have some Triscuits with my tuna salad at lunch.

Note: I stuck my finger in some hot sauce and tried just a taste. The taste made me suspect that it contained sugar. I checked the label, and sure enough, it did. I don't consider this a problem; I'm sure as hell not starting over tomorrow. It's a learning experience.
