Day 2

Hi's and Lows:  There's a little twist to my particular trip through the Whole 30.  I live in rural India.  Now eating healthy in India should be easy.  It's vegetarian right...mostly?  Most people eat rice and lentils twice a day and drink a couple cups of chia (local pronunciation of "chai").  But there are problems.  Though the twice a week vegetable market is bigger than a football field, the variety of vegetables is actually rather small, subtract kale, sweet potatoes and add half a dozen unrecognizable items and you get the picture.  

Insights:  At the end of the day Bethany (my wonderful wife and resident kitchen magician) asked me how I was doing...good question.   I am really fine.  I am not stuffed, and not hungry.  The biggest difference I notice is not a loss of food, and but a loss of entertainment.  I think I usually eat for fun.  And let's just say I am used to having... a lot of fun.

Breakfast:  Eggs and peppers and salsa...

Lunch: pork and veggie left overs from the previous day a little less salty thank goodness

Snack:  Two little bags of roasted peanuts, an apple, a banana...and... ok that's all

Dinner: Omelet with a whole tomato lots of hot peppers with carrots and an avocado.

I almost lost it today when: I woke up in the middle of the night, and headed into the kitchen for the peanut butter and cereal out of habit... when it hit me... I was not hungry, just bored... what better to do when you're bored than eat?  Answer:  go to sleep (at 2:45 am anyway).
