Monday was the start of the aforementioned transformation challenge and round 2 of my Whole30.
Unfortunately I am not doing a true Whole30 because part of the challenge is food logging on the My Fitness Pal app. I didn’t even make it past day 1 anyway because Monday evening I made Wonton Meatballs (recipe from Nom Nom Paleo) and I ate them with sriracha sauce, which is not Whole30 compliant because there is added sugar (there’s less than a gram in a serving so it really isn’t that big of a deal, which is why I didn’t sweat it).
Tuesday went well, until dinner lol In the morning I was asked to babysit and thankfully I was not needed until closer to 7 so I was able to go home after work and throw stuff in the Instant Pot so that my husband wouldn’t have to scrounge for dinner (and I could have an amazing Wednesday lunch). I made Korean Short Ribs (recipe from Nom Nom Paleo, again). I had a protein shake and a banana before leaving the house to babysit. I thought that would hold me over since I had a late lunch (salad with chicken and avocado and avocado dressing– plenty of fat!). Around 8:30 I was hungry so I ate some random stuff from their refrigerator– 2 few olives, 4 little few banana pepper rings, 2 or 3 marinated artichokes. THEN I had a handful of Lay’s salt & vinegar chips, and later a handful of Smart Food Delight white cheddar popcorn! According to My Fitness Pal, I was within my calorie allotment so it’s all good, right? (sarcasm….I don’t think it’s helpful to value calories over nutrient content).
