Chip's Spynotebook

Just checking in. Today is Inauguration Day. Whole 30 hasn’t killed us yet. 10 more days and then we’ll assess the situation.

I’m not really craving things so I almost wonder if I’m doing it wrong. I’ve adjusted to gross black coffee and cooking is fine. I still don’t have lunches down yet but I’m working on it.

We had this for breakfast:

Sweet potato tuna thing, eggs, guac, salsa. It was good.

It’s actually fine. I don’t really enjoy black coffee as much as my usual (half and half, two splendas) but it is tolerable. We’ve eaten lots of sweet potatoes, salads, chicken, etc. I’ve been using the instant pot a lot. We took a zuppa toscana soup over the Jocelyn’s last night and played Sequence.

We had a “snow day” yesterday. Luckily, we all survived.

This was supposed to publish on the first:

Unlike many celebrities, we survived 2016 intact. Today is Day Two of the Whole 30 and other things are going OK so far.

We ran a race then watched some EastEnders and the third Divergent movie (don’t bother).

We had breakfast at Mama’s Boy yesterday which marks the 10th New Year’s that we’ve seen Tera and Jocelyn on New Year’s Day.

Snow’s coming. We can’t eat bread or milk until February. Do we buy it anyway just because it feels wrong not to?

I don’t even know what a coconut amino is but I’m on the hunt for some! Tweet me if you know where to buy a bottle in Athens.

Chipotle for lunch. I had the carnitas salad instead of steak because I wouldn’t want to get any RICE BRAN OIL in my body or anything. That stuff will kill you (or do absolutely nothing different to you, the jury is still out). I felt crappy yesterday but feel better today. The gym was harder last night than usual so I might skip that tonight.

I’m listening to the George Michael Tribute Station on Sirius XM (Beth got it in her new car and so I can listen online now). I made a “Careless Whispers” a few years ago so I’ll post this here as my George tribute.

Well, I’ll post these also because Heather’s love for George Michael was a favorite bit of mine on EastEnders.

This supposedly maps out the 30 days. As of day 3, it is not wrong.

Inside my office :

I have warned everyone in my office that I will probably be grumpy for a while. So, pretty much nothing will be different.

I had big plans to get up and go to the gym this morning. But it is still raining and I have a headache which I am assuming is my body telling me to eat some sugar or something. I think a shower and coffee is a better plan. 

Haven’t died yet, but I did use a selfie stick for the first time.

We had soft-boiled eggs over sweet potato, pepper, and onions for breakfast.

For lunch I mixed chicken breast with avocado and cashews and had it over some leftover broccoli kale slaw from Trader Joe’s. Healthy AF.

Dinner is cooking now. Lamb in the oven, potatoes in the instant pot and spinach in the microwave.
