Day Fourteen

Today was a Monday, yes it was in a lot of ways.  I think the weather change had a serious effect on me today because I just felt blah all day.  The ironic part was as bummed I was feeling I was still more alert than usual.  That is one of the biggest differences that I have noticed the past fourteen days.  After day four where I felt like my mind was having an out of body experience I have felt way more alert than I have in years.    I get to work and I am able to concentrate way more and I am getting more work done.  I feel more alert at night at home and I am getting more stuff accomplished after dinner (see this blog).

I had my second social experience tonight, we had a cheer booster meeting.  We used to do these meetings in the high school cafeteria where you would bring your bottle of water and or have nothing for the two hour meeting.  A few months ago there a suggestion to have them at someone's house so the group could relax more, sit in more comfortable chairs and of course have a glass of wine or two.  Great idea for those who can eat pizza and drink wine, not such a good idea for us Whole 30 participants.  This was another new experience for me, actually saying "No thank you" when being offered a glass of wine.   :-)  I have to admit I felt awkward at first declining the pizza and wine but after after I got myself  some water I was fine.  I drank the water right out of the bottle, talk about awkward, I can't imagine if I would have asked for a wine glass for my water like I did at Michele's.

I went home and dinner was ready and not a minute too soon I was starving and had been around people eating pizza for two hours.  It was a team effort tonight I came home quick after the gym and  started the chicken marinating in a lemon,garlic rosemary sauce (foodie.com) and Michael put it in the oven with mushrooms and green beans.  It was another good dinner and very easy.  This morning was a piece of cake (or casserole ), egg casserole that we made the night before.  It was an easy breakfast all we had to do was heat it up and we were ready to go.   I thought it was a little dry so I am going to have to add some more eggs or cook it a little less so the casserole is not overcooked by the reheat in the morning.

Two weeks down today and just over two more weeks to eat all the sweet potatoes I shredded last night!!
