Day 10 & 11 - A Fun Filled Weekend

Woosh, the time is flying by in this Whole 30 isn't it? Um no, it isn't. Especially during the weekend. There is a reason why they say in the Whole 30 Timeline that days 10-11 are when you are most likely to quit. You want to know why? Because it is the WEEKEND! I realize that days 10-11 don't fall on a weekend for everyone, but let's assume that it is at least near a weekend. You  have already made it thought one Whole 30 weekend and it was ok. You drank your sparkling water instead of wine, had some fruit and coconut chips when you wanted some of that Harry & David Peppermint Bark from Christmas, and you ate your veggies. But now it is weekend #2, and on Saturday you are out running errands and it is getting dangerously close to lunchtime and you don't have anything with you, and have no intention of having a full-fledged restaurant meal where you can pick a Whole30 compliant(ish) dish. So, you just are hungry until you get home. Blah. And on Sunday your husband is hanging out around the house drinking beer and watching football. Wow that sparkling water looks good doesn't it? And eating chips and salsa - pass the carrot sticks please...Blah. There is nothing that will put a cramp in a weekend of activity like making sure you have appropriately planned for menu choices. But, it is only 30 days. And in my case, 4 weekends, and I have survived 2 of them already. So two more weekends to go. Not that I want to fall completely off the W30 wagon on February 1st, but I will be enjoying a some chips and salsa for the Super Bowl, I promise you that. 

Day 10:
Breakfast - Egg scramble with vegetables and bacon with sweet potato hash

Lunch - LaraBar, veggies, macadamia nuts, freeze dried fruit - lunch was spread over about 2 1/5 hours

Dinner - Hamburgers using eMeals recipe. I ate my burger with lettuce and pickles. Also some yummy Avocado Cole Slaw from Pinterest. I also cooked up some chicken wings to have on hand for a quick protein snack. I ate a couple with dinner and they were very good.

Day 11:
Breakfast - Soft boiled eggs with bacon and veggies

Lunch: Leftover chicken from Friday night with salad

Dinner: Steak, Asparagus wrapped with proscuitto, cauliflower "rice" pilaf
