Whole30 Day 16

What I ate:

Meal 1: Potato and vegetable hash with two eggs, coffee (8:00)

Meal 2: Salad with chicken and egg, beef jerky, kiwi (2:00)

Meal 3: Sausage patty, asparagus (6:30)

How I felt:

I’m pretty dang bright-eyed and busy-tailed. And my Achilles actually feel a bit better, or at least I’ve been walking a bit with seemingly no adverse effects the next day. I watched a bunch of videos on Saturday about healing tendinitis and learned a few useful things—one of which was that maybe I need to be working on hamstring strength as part of fixing this. Honestly there’s no downside to trying that.

What I thought:

It’s our 30th anniversary (!!), and even though M.H. has to work and we have no big plans, we surely would have at least gone out to eat if it weren’t for my Whole30ing. In fact, my original plan was to start the Whole30, take the day off for our anniversary, and then start it over again. But we decided that it’s just food—I might as well continue feeling great, continue trying to heal, and see this through as long as reasonably possible.

Today was the first day the pool was open for lap swim, but I never signed up. I’m still on the fence about whether it’s a good idea. I think the main problem for me is that you’re supposed to pay $20 a week to swim four Monday through Thursday, and (1) I think that’s kind of pricey and (2) I would really rather swim approximately two days a week. So I might check over there tomorrow and see if you can just hand over $5 to get in or what.

How I plan to feed myself tomorrow:

Made some beef jerky; lots of leftovers.
