Oh hi there, nicotine fit, I’d almost forgotten about you. It is *now* that I remember Whole30 makes me want a damn cigarette. I don’t know what it is – it’s not like I eat that far off of W30 the rest of the year – but something about it just kicks my infrequent cigarette wanting into overdrive. Like, as I’m sitting here my lungs are tight and I can barely get a full breath (which is exactly what a nicotine fit felt like). For perspective, I quit 6 years ago and haven’t had even a drag since – and I know I don’t actually *want* one; my lungs just think they might. And they want to tell me about it. What’s next? Reese’s Nutrageous cravings? Those used to go hand-in-hand with wanting a smoke.

Breakfast

Breakfast was fantastic. My DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk. You’d think that after having this smoothie pretty much every week day for the last two years, that I’d be tired of it. Not so. My body craves this breakfast when I haven’t had it in awhile – just like it used to crave bacon & eggs & hashed browns with toast.

And my coffee … after a weekend full of less-than-stellar cups, I’m actually excited to be back with my old standard cup.

Lunch

Glaaaaaaaamorus! Let me tell you, I know how to pour the glamour on. Leftover roasted meat from last night’s dinner with the last of my guacamole and some roasted garlic Choula.

Dinner

Much better. Instant Pot pulled pork (recipe coming soon) with spiced roasted parsnips.

Today wasn’t so bad until I hit Target in the early afternoon and got overwhelmingly hungry. It’s a good thing I’m doing Whole30 – that 50% off Holiday snacks aisle was looking pretty darn tasty.

Breakfast

Brunch out – ratatouille with merguez (spicy lamb sausage) and egg. Plus coffee with my homemade almond milk. This was fantastic. I picked the potatoes out of mine, because although white potatoes are *technically* allowed on Whole30 (a recent change I don’t particularly agree with), for me they go against the spirit of Whole30. White potatoes for me are one of those “trigger foods” that signal to my brain that anything goes. Like fries.

Lunch

I didn’t have any real lunch; brunch was pretty late. I did, however, snack on the rest of that capicola I had for dinner yesterday when the post-Target hangries hit. Mental note: fill purse with emergency snacks. The Target by my house is a war zone.

Dinner

The hubbs wanted delivery, so I made him get kebabs. I had roasted lamb, pork and chicken kebabs with a side Greek salad (olive oil and vinegar dressing, hold the and cheese). It took pretty much all my willpower to not eat the pita and fries it came with.

Snacks

To switch it up, hazelnuts.
