Day 6 & 7 (The Weekend)

Well, the weekend has come and gone, and I am still alive! But damn was it hard to follow this diet when everything and everyone else around is snarfing on "crap foods". Saturday wasn't too bad. We got up and made some eggs with kinda a vegetable/nut stir fry on the side (Red Bells, Onions, Zucchini, Almonds, Cashews)and took the boys to the farmers market.

We didn't buy a whole lot there because most fruits and vegetables aren't in season, but we did get some meat, eggs, sweet potatoes, and some lettuce! the eggs were even better than the ones we got and Whole Foods, and they were a HELL of a lot cheaper! (Side note) the girl that sold us the meat at the farmers market was a fellow CrossFiter that attends the CFOKC box! I thought that was kinda cool to see someone else out and about that does CrossFit considering no one ever knows what I am talking about until I tell them what it is... then they still don't get it. After the farmers market we took off to SAMs and got some paper plates and stuff so we wouldn't have to wash all of our few dishes EVERY time we ate something.

For lunch on Saturday we just kinda ate whatever. we had some leftovers and a pish posh mix up of a few different things. plus the boys were cranky and we were tired so we didn't feel like making much of anything. For dinner however, my lovely wife made chicken fajitas and man were they good! the orange and yellow bells had such awesome flavor that it really turned this meal into an awesome one.

All in all, Saturday was a pretty good (easy) day... Diet wise.

Sunday on the other hand was not so easy. We did do a really good job of sticking to our guns! but it was rough. In the morning, you guessed it, eggs! (I made the Onion, Zucchini, & Almond again) and then we were off to church.

Before, any time we got to church we would have doughnuts, and our son was not very happy when we told him he could not have one. I have to say, I have never been a big sweets person, but doughnuts never looked and smelt so good as they did Sunday...
After church got out we called up my parents to see if the boys could go over to their house so we could go grocery shopping, and see what they planned on for lunch. Typically every Sunday after church my parents go to El Chico and we meet them there, but El Chico isn't really (at all) Whole 30 friendly, so we thought we would try for steaks! We ended up going to Longhorn Steakhouse and it was a nice treat. It was crazy though how many things you can't order unless you have special instruction on the item... aka EVERYTHING! the house salad came out with cheese and croutons, so we had to take them off which was rather tedious, but we got it all cleared and ate it with some oil and it was really good. My wife and I split the 20 oz Porterhouse and it was really good, but unbeknownst to the menu... the steak came with a butter sauce drizzled all over it, so we soaked it up and scrapped it off the best we could, it was still really tasty though! (probably didn't get all that sauce off =P) we also got a sweet potato (plain) and some steamed asparagus (plain). Oh yeah, and the whole unlimited bread thing... we just told them not to even bring it by once we sat down.
After lunch we took the boys to my parents house and headed to the store. We were able to do most all of our shopping rather quickly, but there were so many distractions at the Sunflower Market! We did give in and get some unsweetened dried fruits that we could eat like candy, and they were delightful. We did buy lots of produce however and now our fridge looks great once again.

For dinner last night we didn't really have a meal, we just snacked. We ended up going to some friends house down the way and playing air hockey on his new table. It was a lot of fun, but I think it is the first time I have gone to his house and not had a beer! And that was kinda hard, especially when you are playing air hockey... but it was a lot of fun!
All in all, had a great weekend (even with all the temptation) and stuck to the diet!
