I am on the downhill slide! Whoo hoo! It feels good. I really am beginning to believe that there will be an end.

Aside from a miserable cold, I’m feeling pretty good. According to the Whole 30 Timeline, day 16 is the beginning of “tiger blood.” Boy, do I want some of that. Even with this head congestion and near constant drippy nose, I have a remarkable amount of energy and clear-headedness today. Is it just placebo effect? Have I heard so much about the wonders of the Whole 30 that I am imagining some positive effects? Maybe. But who cares! If I’m feeling better, I’m feeling better and I’ll take it and be thankful.

I am starting to feel a bit of meal fatigue, getting bored with my food. I’m super thankful I took the time before I even began day 1 to write down 30 dinner ideas. I’m varying from that list a teeny bit, but not much.

Honestly, I would enjoy a little more variety in my breakfast and lunch menu, but I’m already cooking dinner each night and getting much more creative with breakfast and lunch would have me in the kitchen way too much and thinking about food way too much. Keeping the first two meals of the day more streamlined may not be very exciting, but it’s practical and convenient.

Here’s what’s on tap for today:

Breakfast: bacon and egg salad – two hard boiled eggs, three slices of bacon, 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise, salt and pepper, all smashed up together, black coffee

Lunch: Trader Joe’s turkey burger fried in a skillet with a little avocado oil. I ate this as a sandwich with romaine lettuce for the “bread” and some mayo.

Dinner: Pork and Veggie Unrolls. I’ve streamlined this recipe a bit so watch the new video if you’re intrigued by this recipe, but a bit intimated by it. (My video editor is taking a sick day so the videos are going to be delayed a day or two, but if that’s something you’re interested in, subscribe to my YouTube channel and you’ll get a notice when I post new videos.)
