Day 21

Another long day at work. I definitely had a moment this morning of "I CANNOT EAT ANOTHER BOILED EGG." I had my usual boiled egg + avocado breakfast and was so sick of it I couldn't even finish. I really need to come up with some better ideas for breakfasts to survive this thing!!

Lunch was a jar salad.

Dinner was leftover spaghetti squash/cashew sauce/broccoli.

I had an apple w/almond butter and a banana at some point during the day too, and I think an Rx bar.

Defintiely in the "this is getting boring" stage they talk about! Funny...the timeline says this happens at EXACTLY day 21. Ha! See below...

(Interlude) Day 21: I am so over this.

You’ve solidly settled into week three of the program at this point. Your clothes fit better; your skin is clearer; your inner awesomeness is shining through. But despite the many benefits you’re seeing, you went to bed last night dreading the thought of breakfast. You weren’t much more excited about it this morning, either. Come to think of it, you’re not thrilled with any of your meal options right now.  In fact, if Iron Chef Bobby Flay were to walk into your kitchen right now and offer to cook you any Whole30 compliant meal you wanted, you’re not even sure you could think of one. Just about anything sounds like more fun than sitting down to a big plate of Whole30 grub.  You’re loving the way your body is responding to the program, but you’re just not sure if you can make it through 9 more days. And if you see even one more egg, you are going to scream.

Somewhere in the third week of the program, serious food boredom sets in. For some folks, it gets so overwhelming that they lose their appetite altogether for a few days. Don’t let the food fatigue overtake you – plan ahead! Get to work in week two and hunt down some new recipes to keep the fire burning! Find inspiration from our Whole30 Recipes Instagram Feed, cruise the Whole30 Pinterest boards, or pick up a new cookbook. Find some exotic produce in the grocery store, try some exotic recipes – do whatever you can to get over this little speed bump. Being bored and hungry is just a recipe for disaster, and this, too, shall pass.
