I started by making my hubby (who agreed to go along for the ride) his lunch.
I packed him up the butternut squash I made the other day, chicken salad made with homemade mayo, almonds and an apple. I gave him some big iceberg lettuce leaves to make lettuce wraps with the chicken salad.

For breakfast we had sweet potato hash, eggs and kale. (The hash was great, quick and easy - I will post the recipe later this week.)

Happy to say he approved of his lunch :) he sent me this text and the word "yum"
My lunch wasn't half bad either:

| Butternut squash, kale with chicken thighs - apple and cashews for snack |
Came home and marinated some organic pork chops (I can't believe I found organic pork chops!) in an olive oil, cilantro and garlic mix.
And to go along with the pork made some broccoli and yuca with mojo. (The mojo is a little was sautéed onions, garlic and lemon juice and a little olive oil and some water from the boiling yuca).
The meal was so good!
I feel thoroughly satisfied. I'm actually a little skeptical that I can actually lose weight eating like this but we'll see. Marty enjoyed his day too.
How'd you do?

Vegetable juice can be an easy way to increase the amount of vegetables in your diet, but you shouldn't routinely use it to replace whole vegetables.
Most adults should get at least three to four servings of vegetables a day, depending on their age, sex and level of physical activity.

It's a big learning curve for me and a LOT of cooking/food prep. But, that is a good thing since cooking at home is healthier.
The autoimmune part of the plan is tough. No eggs, nuts, and esp. mayo. I would have loved to have had mayo on my lettuce-wrapped turkey sandwich yesterday. That's OK...it's 30 days and then I can start introducing one food at a time.
I am feeling really edgy today. I KNOW I have some food addictions to sugar, carbs and god knows what else so I understand why I am having cravings. Just have to plow through it.
Thanks for blogging about your Whole30!
Hang in there Christine! The autoimmune part sounds so much harder but feeling better in the long run is worth sticking it out for right now.
Thanks for swinging by!!
