Day 19

As far as the food was concerned, Day 19 went well.

I had to go to the grocery store this morning and I wouldn’t say I was CRAVING a chocolate iced donut or a bite of my child’s sugar cookie with sprinkles, but I certainly wanted a bite of one or the other. And even though I chose to say no, I didn’t really even feel badly about missing out… it was just that I noted to myself that I would have liked a bite and then I moved on. That’s some REAL progress!

I tried a slow cooker recipe from Nom Nom Paleo and oh my goodness. This is comfort food with a capital C. It was so good my husband went back for seconds and we both agreed that nobody in our families would ever know it was Whole30/Paleo! I have stuck that recipe in my back pocket for when we have company for Easter at the end of the month!

I also tried my hand at a new veggie: the Rutabaga!

Now, here is the thing about rutabagas… they are HARD to CUT! And by hard, I mean impossible (for me). I had to search the internet for tips on how to get through these things. (The trick and more in an upcoming post).

Anyway, like I said the food part of Day 19 went lovely. The workout was awesome. The problem is in my next post… I don’t know what happened, or what’s happening, but what little progress I was starting to see physically has not only disappeared, but I think I am as bad as when I first began!?

So here is the menu for Day 19:

Breakfast: Turkey sausage crumble with warm cabbage & carrot slaw and sesame seeds

Lunch: Left over stuffed peppers, raw carrots, almonds and a few chunks of pineapple (it is in season right now and oh my word – YUM.)

Dinner: Nom Nom Paleo’s Slow-Cooker Roast Chicken & Gravy with mashed rutabaga and steamed carrots

Coming up: The Return of the Muffin [top], What in the Rutabaga? and an update on my version of OAMM’s Taco Salad Shells!

Day 19 done. 11 to go.
