The beginning of the day was pretty uneventful. I can't really remember what I did for breakfast, but lunch was nice.
I made a lovely salad with lettuce, avocado, and turkey.
I ate while I worked, since the day was super busy.
After my work day was over, I met up with one of my friends from college for dinner.
I opted for a cobb salad - which has turned into my new favorite thing at restaurants.
It's a great choice because it is full of protein, fats, and fiber, which keep you full and fuel your body.
My friend made fun of me for eating a salad and for not wanting any dressing... but I'm pretty sure I felt physically better than he did at the end of the meal. (The french fries alone would have been enough to send me into a food coma!)
We decided to go see a movie afterwords, and he desperately tried to convince me that movie theater popcorn was a vegetable and paleo approved.
I am very proud to say that I did not budge and happily went into the movie without a snack.
(Plus, I had just eaten a big salad - one that I couldn't even finish - so eating again wasn't really in the agenda)
The movie was hilarious - I didn't even miss the foods normally associated with going to the movies.
Overall, the night was a success. It was great having a chance to catch up with my friend, but not giving in to the pressure to eat bad food was the bigger success of the night.
When I got into my car and headed home, it hit me how tired I was.
And unfortunately, the fatigue made me want to eat food. I have no idea why, but I had an extreme desire to eat.
I wasn't hungry at all. Thankfully, I was able to recognize that.
So I mentally slapped myself in the face and vowed that I would eat nothing (even if it was Whole30 approved)
I finally got home and crawled into bed without a single pistachio or bite of fruit passing through my lips.
Strength I didn't think I could muster.
Let's consider Day 27 a strengthening resolve.
