Whole30 Reset: Day Five

DAY FIVE

Let's get right to it. On day five I started with:

What are you looking at? Well, let me tell you! I put down a layer of that baby spinach and baby butter lettuce first. I've been using this in place of potatoes. Potatoes are absolutely ok when on the Whole30 BUT if you are interested in a little more chance at weight loss it's good to replace it with something less starchy like lettuce. At first, I thought, that's a terrible idea... who wants lettuce with their breakfast? But I gave it a try and I have to say, it isn't my enemy. I made my favorite Pederson's Farms bacon and then threw some cherry tomatoes, onions and bell pepper on the pan with a little button of extra virgin olive oil and put that on top of the bed of lettuce, then topped that with 2 over easy eggs which I sprinkled the Everything but the bagel spice on and lastly Topped it with a little salsa, pico de gallo and guacamole.

I was so happy when I sat down that I took a pic of the moment. My Alien, my plants (Frank & Pamela), and my Lotso all looked so cozy. So that's this memory:

For lunch, I came home and heated up some of the left-over drumsticks and threw on some celery, carrots, and pickles. I used the last of my Primal Kitchen Ranch dressing. :( And before I left I had a blood orange (because I love a citrus finish and this lunch felt a little light). But it actually held me over just fine.

For dinner, I found a pulled pork soup recipe, these are the ingredients: 

And this is the finished product.

I added sweet potatoes which made it a hearty soup and still packed full of good nutrients! It was so good I had seconds! This is what I ended my day with, I really want to try out a sweet potato breakfast bake recipe I have been eyeballing so I may do that tomorrow. We'll see!
