Day1

It only took an hour to make, but the breakfast skillet scramble from Primal Blueprint was worth the wait!

-1/4lb. ground grass-fed beef with garlic, onion, and salt
-1/2 red pepper in strips
-1/3 small white onion, diced
-1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-3 egg whites and 2 egg yolks whisked together
-half an avocado, diced
-1Tbsp. salsa
-1 heaping Tbsp. coconut oil

I never knew avocado would pair so well with beef and eggs, but it totally does and made the meal. This seems like a lot of food for one person, and it is, but waiting over an hour to eat (had to feed the kids first and then make this, which required chopping all the veggies then thawing and cooking the meat) made me terribly hungry, and it was easy to eat it all up. Boy, am I full but in a healthy way.

Had a 10oz. cup of water around 9am for meds/probiotic, a cup with my meal, and a cup at 10:30 for supplements. Hope I'm near a bathroom for the next couple of hours since I'll peeing every 20-30 minutes, haha.

Took the kids to the pool from 12-1. Beautiful day for it! Confession: I hate going to the pool. Lakes and oceans are more my thing.

Lunch at 1:45 - can of tuna with mustard on a bed of romaine leaves - not too fancy, I know, but I'm missing some ingredients or can't have some ingredients because of oxalate issues to do anything else in my cookbooks. The low oxalate diet is really messing up my Whole30 already. Oh, well, I'll figure it out.

Snack at 3:45 - cinnamon and nutmeg Granny Smith apple slices mixed with coconut oil and coconut milk then hardened in muffin cups (yeah, cinnamon and other spices that are high oxalate might have to slide for 30 days). Collin even liked this! Didn't have coconut butter (or flakes to make my own) to make this recipe even better, but I have ordered some from Amazon to try for next time. Afternoon 10oz. mint tea at 5:00. :)

Picked up Collin's first soccer uniform at Loudoun Soccer. Now to find some red and black cleats to match... 

Dinner at 7:15 - Primal Blueprint's sauteed sauerkraut, sausage, red peppers, and zucchini seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, and fresh parsley. 8oz. water to drink. Note to Mike for next grocery trip: check sausage for soy...this one had some, so technically it does not follow the Whole30 protocol. Better yet, do not buy sausage at all. It will probably take a week or so to figure these things out and get exactly the right foods. "Dessert" was finishing Olivia's half-eaten apple. 

Successful day, I'd say. Coconut everything (oil, flakes, flour, butter, etc.) are must-haves on this and any other paleo/primal plan.
