Day 6 on Whole30 was challenging. An impromptu Ikea trip and dinner booked months ago sought to trip me up, but I persevered.
Breakfast
No smoothie today. Sugar-free bacon + eggs cooked in grass fed butter. Yum.
Lunch
Went to Ikea, and this was the only thing on the menu I could safely eat (ish). I ate the smoked salmon, and everything in the salad but the green peas & kidney beans.
Dinner
Months ago, we booked a dinner cruise. I completely forgot said cruise when signing up to do a Whole30. Luckily, the limited menu had options I could work with.
Kale Caesar salad with fresh dressing, which may or may not have had a trace of (non-compliant) Dijon. What I ate:
My discard pile:
Bouillabaisse – luckily, pretty compliant. Traditionally, this soup isn’t made with wine – and I didn’t taste any. Nice and spicy.
My discard pile: potatoes.
The whoopie pie I didn’t eat, which strangely made me crave a cigarette like no one’s business. I have not smoked in over 4 years and haven’t craved a cigarette in recent memory. Something about being pent up on a boat and unable to leave + my brain’s own crossed wiring gave me tight lungs and the beginning of the panics. Fun times.
All in all, a pretty successful dinner. I managed to avoid the hot bourbon toddy with local honey I wanted, said no to dessert, and found some most likely compliant food on the menu; and all it cost me was some lung distress.
