Not much sleep again last night. My plan was to remedy that in the evening. Otherwise, still feeling great, still feeling energized, and still feeling strong. I wasn’t able to run the day before due to attending a funeral, but my plan was to run after work and before friends came over for dinner and TV watching (our Friday tradition).

Breakfast: Two eggs sunny-side up and two slices of sugar-free bacon. No fruits or veggies by choice.

Lunch: Sherry’s amazing Whole30 chili. I can eat this stuff for every meal for the rest of my life. It’s delicious, and satisfying.

Dinner: We decided to take our friends to a new local favorite: Nadia’s. The food there is all natural and made from whole foods, and it’s a great place to go to get a healthy meal. I had the Kafta kebab and some shawarma served with some grilled vegetables and a green salad. It was tasty as always, and filled me up. I almost felt I ate too much.

The following morning, my weight was at its lowest all year: 168.3 lbs. I’m down almost 10 lbs in two weeks! I know, I know: you’re not supposed to be weighing yourself during a Whole30, but I do. It has been teaching me a lot about how my body reacts to certain foods in type and volume. This was surprising for me, however. I thought it would take me much longer to drop this much weight on this Whole30. I’m pretty happy about it!
