So I have to say that I've been pretty happy lately. I feel really good - well rested, energetic, clear headed - and now that I'm finishing up the 3rd week I think some good habits have finally formed. I don't miss drinking at all on the weekdays anymore, and my cravings for chocolate have gone down considerably. I even sometimes really just want roasted vegetables. Like that's what I truly want for dinner. I don't even know myself anymore.

So that is a definite plus! Now if only there was a diet and exercise plan that could make my feet less gnarly, we'd really be in business.
On that note, here's what I ate!
THURSDAY
Breakfast:
Banana with Justin's Almond Butter, bag of cashews and raisins.
Lunch:
Leftover Oven Baked BBQ Chicken
Dinner:
Blackened Tilapia Lettuce Wrap Tacos with Homemade Chipotle Mayo
Delciousness:
These were fantabulous, and will definitely be going into the regular dinner rotation. They were so easy, fast, and filling - a triple threat! I just rubbed some pre-made cajun seasoning from WholeFoods all over the fish, pan fried it about 3 minutes on each side since the tilapia was thin, and threw it in a lettuce leaf with some red cabbage, spicy mayo, and avocado slices. Squeeze a little lime over it and it's ready to eat! #obsessed.

FRIDAY
Breakfast:
Banana and a bag of cashews and raisins.
Lunch:
I didn't have anything leftover for lunch, so I got some chicken and vegetables at a deli buffet by work. It was just eh - I spent the whole time I was eating it just really wishing I had made more of that delicious BBQ Chicken. Here's a fun game for all of you readers not doing a whole30 and enjoying alcoholic beverages - have a shot every time I write BBQ Chicken. You will be Lindsay Lohan'ed in no time, and can drunkenly order some BBQ chicken from Seamless. Now take 3 shots!
Dinner:
Roasted Vegetables in Red Pesto with Bacon.

Roasted Vegetables in Red Pesto with Bacon.
Delciousness:
This is a recipe dreamed up by Chris's brother Adam, and it is one of my all-time favorites. This was my first time re-creating it on my own and somehow I feel like it didn't come out quite as good as when Adam makes it, but it was still good enough for me to have seconds, so it definitely was a success. And easy too! Just throw together a bunch of veggies - I used red, orange, and yellow peppers, onion, asparagus, and brussell sprouts - with about 4 diced slices of bacon, toss with a jar of red pesto (found with the jars of spaghetti sauce), and roast for 45 minutes or so in a 400 degree oven. Adam usually serves it with a dollop of fresh burratta on top, which is truly amazing, but I opted for 2 poached eggs since dairy is off limits. It was a delight.

Brunch:
Slept in and had a late Diner brunch! Eggs over-easy with sausage and potatoes. Heaven.
Dinner:
Dinner out with family at our favorite Tapas place. We had shrimp, potatoes bravas, octopus, sausage, artichokes, calamari, and probably some other deletables I can't remember. What I DO remember is having iced tea while everyone else shared a massive pitcher of my favorite sangria.

Brunch:
Scrambled eggs with bacon and sweet potato hashbrowns.
Dinner:
Fish tacos again! Are they my new BBQ Chicken? (drink!)

MONDAY
Breakfast:
Strawberry Warrior smoothie from the gym - banana, strawberries, dates, and almond milk. So good.
Lunch:
I didn't have any leftovers to bring, so I just got some vegetable soup delivered.
Having vegetable soup for lunch is basically like having some nice hot air. I was starving about 20 minutes after I finished it, so I had to go downstairs and get my trusty old raisins and cashews, plus another banana. No more vegetable soup on its own for lunch! Lesson. Learned.
Dinner:
Dinner out with our besties, John and Emily! They didn't want to drink either, so we had the cutest little sober dinner at Edwards. Chris and I both had our favorite warm frisee salad with some tea, and it all felt very healthy and relaxing.

Adam made us curry! It was seriously some of the best curry I have ever had...the sauce wasn't thin like it sometimes is when you order it and I didn't even miss rice or naan.
And that's what I ate! Sorry for waiting so long to post and then keeping it so short and boring. I promise to not go this long without writing again, especially since I only have ONE WEEK LEFT!!! Wahooo see ya next time!
