Day 9 was an interesting one, to say the least. I had fewer hours of sleep than I normally prefer, yet I felt energized and wide awake. Also, my weight was at its lowest again for the third day in a row, and considering I ran last night and did my push ups, my muscles feel remarkably good.

My meals for the day were:

Breakfast: Two eggs sunny-side up and two slices of bacon with coffee. I know, the photo shows ham and eggs. It’s a photo I took a few months back because I got right into my food before I could snap a photo. I think it’s a pretty picture, though.

Lunch: Moroccan lamb roast with mashed cauliflower. This is a new recipe that I really enjoy, and I hope Sherry puts it into our rotation. I can’t say enough of how much I like this dish!

Dinner: Sherry and I went out for dinner to a local Mexican restaurant and had a grilled snapper dish that was served on a bed of spinach with grilled vegetables on the side. It was amazing! Best of all, it was completely Whole30 compliant! We left satisfied, and it was absolutely delicious!

It’s a treat to be able to go to a restaurant and eat Whole30 compliant foods, but if you look hard enough, typically you can find at least a few dishes on the menu of restaurants that actually prepare their food from scratch.
