I can't believe I have made it this far!

Are you tired of seeing pictures of eggs and spinach?
I try to mix it up, but this is pretty darn good and we are happy with it, so you must suffer. Different but same picture almost daily. Today it was an omelet.
I just toss whatever I have in my fridge in some coconut oil, sauté it up.
I kind of forgot about this one and it got a little crispy on the bottom, but I kind of liked the crisp.
Side note - does anyone know how to type this - é - straight to the computer? I have to go to word and have it automatically do it for me. I'm sure there is a way to do it while I'm typing and I'm sure someone out there reading this can tell me how to do it. Sad isn't it? I'm so computer illerate.

On Sunday's I typically only make 2 meals - oh, but wait - it was Monday - it felt like a Sunday since it was a holiday. A very sad holiday at that. While I am on the topic I would like thank all of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They are the true heroes in this world. Honor, respect and courage till the end. Today (and most days) I pray for all the ones they left behind.
Lunch was a fend for yourself type of lunch. For me, avocado, nuts & a small salad.

Dinner:
A delicious salad with a homemade Basil Vinaigrette salad dressing
&
Beef Plantain Pie
Looks kind of yummy doesn't it?

Unfortunately looks can be deceiving.
It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good.
I mean we did eat it.
(Eat to live, not live to eat...right! UGHH)
It was way too sweet.
A little more savory & much less sweet would have been good.
I could work with it, but I don't want to.
BUT.....
If I had not made this I would have never know how much I LOVE fried Plantains!
OH MY GOSH they are good!
Fry them up in a little coconut oil and you have a fantastic little snack!
They were great as is, but next time I am going to add a little cinnamon to them!

Day 20 - I thought I was over most of the hurdles of this new thing I am not calling a diet. However my cravings have started coming back! I just want a FREAKING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! And I keep thinking about that teenage girl crossing the street with a magic bar in her mouth. WHY, WHY, and then I got an email from the folks over at the Whole 30 that read:
"You’re so close to finishing your Whole30. You’ve nearly banished your cravings, and it’s been easier and easier to pass up desserts and sweet treats—even the Whole30-approved ones. You’re practically a healthy-habit-machine these days! And then…
Your brain rebels. You get the worst case of cravings you’ve experienced to date. You’re practically sitting on your hands to avoid raiding the pantry, and you cannot believe that this far along into your program, your Sugar Dragon is
breathing fire right down your back… again! What’s going on?"
Holy CRAP! How did they know!?
They gave the reason - "This is actually good news. It means that you are on the brink of giving up that long-term
habit (dessert) for good! Your brain is going through one last-ditch effort to keep getting that reward, so the cravings come back in full effect. But you are smart. You know they’re coming, and you’ve prepared for this....."
I really hope this doesn't last long - or the next poor girl eating a cookie while crossing the street may not be so lucky. :o)
