Seems like quite a milestone to me...50 days of eating a whole new way. It feels quite natural now to eat more whole foods and no filler foods. I don't miss eating any of the forbidden foods. I can make daughter toasted bagels and cheese and I have no desire to take a taste. I don't need snacks much because I am not hungry. Eating protein in the morning and for lunch stays with me longer than cold cereal and a sandwich. I reach for a piece of fruit if I am hungry and that is great!
Breakfast:
Omelet and Bacon
Lunch:
Pork Chop, Sweet Potato, Broccoli
Supper:
Chicken Soup
Exercise: None.

Day 49
Breakfast:
Omelet and Bacon
Lunch:
Pork Chop, Baked Sweet Potato, Steamed Broccoli, and Applesauce.
The pork chops are actually cutlets, much thinner. I just fry them in a bit of olive oil and butter, three minutes per side and they are done!
Supper:
Mishmash.
I did not feel like eating soup tonite, so I nibble on this and that. Ate another pork chop; finished off the cherry dessert from last night; had a handful of cashews and raisins; drank a big cup of licorice tea; ate a piece of 85% chocolate. Not at all a supper to brag about.
Exercise: Walked 2.5 miles.

Day 48
"I don't eat that way anymore."
That is what I tell myself when I find temptation moving in. "I used to eat sugar but now I don't." Then I walk away. I don't linger over indecision when seeing something that looks delicious.
Tonite I really wanted a dessert. I have not made anything for dessert for a few weeks. I have frozen organic sweet cherries in the freezer; I made a kind of cherry crisp. An online recipe was the base for my creation. I defrosted the cherries in the microwave, then tossed them with a bit of orange juice and vanilla. There was a lot of liquid; I tossed in some chia seeds. Then for the topping I threw almonds and dates into the little food processor, then added coconut butter. Mmmm, I could have eaten the topping with a spoon! Put it on the top, then baked until it was crispy. Delicious!
Breakfast:
Omelet and Bacon
Lunch:
Mustgo: I had Ham, Broccoli, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, and Applesauce
Supper:
Leftover Hamburger Soup
Exercise: Walk 2.1 miles

Day 47
I guess I should say that I am not really following the Whole30 anymore. I am still eating whole foods, but I am also eating a few things that are not Whole30 approved. This morning I had a delicious cup of Vanilla Coffee with some half and half in it. I enjoyed it so much, even though dairy is taboo in the Whole30. And tonite I had a small piece of chocolate. Granted, it was Theo's organic 85% dark chocolate, but it does have a bit of cane sugar in it. It, too, was delicious, and I enjoyed it so much.
Breakfast:
Omelet and Ham (which also had some sugar in it, I am quite sure)
Lunch:
Paleo Baked Salmon (www.kitchenmonki.com), Cabbage and Apple Stir Fry (http://paleoleap.com/quick-and-easy-paleo-stir-fries/), Frozen Snow Peas, and Applesauce
I've made the salmon like this before and it is really good. The salmon is topped with onion and tomato, then drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice. Wrap up in tin foil and bake. The onion really does not cook, but the flavor gets into the salmon.
The cabbage was a new recipe. It is stir fried with apple and onion, then chopped almonds get stirred in at the end. It was delicious! I will definitely be making this again!
Supper:
Hamburger Soup (https://greenhsv.wordpress.com)
This is a little different recipe, as it has cauliflower in it. It seemed like it was missing something. Maybe I did not let it cook long enough. There is lots leftover, so I will see how it is after it sits overnight in the fridge!
Exercise: Walk 2.8 miles.
