This morning was different. I got up shortly after 9 am and Dave was still sleeping. That usually means he had an interrupted night but, in this case, it might just mean the Whole 30 side effects are beginning to hit him. He’s going without caffeine for the first time in a long time. He has gotten off it before but winds up with headaches until his body adjusts and headaches often send him to bed.
The result of this, though, is we both had breakfast for breakfast today. We had egg salad. That was the last of that batch so we’ll probably be eating some other type of egg tomorrow. Dave prefers scrambled but I also like over-easy so what we do may depend on who gets up when tomorrow morning.
For lunch Dave is making meatloaf burgers again. This time with broccoli and applesauce for side dishes.
Then I need to peel and chop carrots for the roasted carrots that go with the last of the chicken thighs we baked earlier.

One of the things I like about this way of eating is having a variety of options available. After lunch, instead of peeling and chopping carrots I decided to dice the leftover steak and make an oriental marinade for it to go with today’s leftover broccoli to make beef and broccoli.
I know. I know. Most of you would have still peeled and chopped the carrots but my back is complaining about last night’s dead hang from the pull up bar so I’m going to go sit in the recliner instead.
That doesn’t mean I’m goofing off; it means I’ll be doing some more reading that will help me continue to get healthy. I have a lot more study to do. I haven’t owned this many physical books since we bought my first eReader but I’m learning a lot. Hopefully, enough that I can leave most of the books here in the apartment when I move into my RV.

When supper time came, we changed our minds again. We ate the leftover Pakistani Kima to give the steak longer time to marinate. We had bananas for desert. Have to keep my potassium up, you know.
TTYL,

Food, food, food. I hope the calories don’t pass through the internet and add to the ones I’m going to be eating today! Glad you’re sticking to it. Days are being marked off. Before you know it September will be here.
You’re just going to have to be doing all the cooking for us when we meet up. lol I have just about given up cooking anymore. I’m really bad about it.
When I was in college, I decided not to drink any more caffeinated soda. WOW…headache city for about a week. Finally all was well.
