Last nights dinner was amazing. Since, for the last few days, I've been craving cheap, low quality, salty foods I decided to treat myself to some sausage. This is not the cheap stuff though. This is locally made bratwurst from the butcher. Completely grain-free and delicious. I cooked it chopped up in the skillet with some onion, tomato, and grainy mustard. I could eat a barrel of this. With it, I had some yellow and green beans with salt and pepper, and some roasted sweet potato - with just salt and pepper as well.
Then, I did something I'm not proud of. I had the night (and the apartment) to myself so I decided to break out the chocolate covered fleur-de-sel caramels I've had hiding in the cupboard since around the time I started paleo. I've gone this long without opening the bag, so last night I decided to have some (since I sort-of decided to end my whole30 early). Well, I ate too many and got a terrible stomach ache - like, lying in fetal position on the couch holding my stomach kind of stomach ache. Lesson learned. I used to binge like a champ - those days are done.
I wanted today to be a good, healthy one. I started off the morning with a banana dipped in cashew butter and headed out for a run. I made a new personal record of 17.5k. I was only aiming to do 16 this weekend, but a friend who I'm having a bit of a distance race with did 17 last night, so I had to out-do him. High on my pride and success, I made a great mid-morning breakfast of eggs and prosciutto, the rest of my roasted sweet potato from last night, and some of my strawberries.
I then set off to run some errands on a bright, sunny day.
I'm still curious about the effect dairy is going to have on me after 28 days without, so I used that as an excuse to treat myself to ice cream. A scoop each of superkid and pistachio kulfi. Not only was this just about the best ice cream I've tasted...no tummy ache. No bad effects to speak of. I think I may be lactose ...tolerant. Good news.
How do I feel about eating ice cream on (what is supposed to be) my last day of whole30?
