Here come the food dreams. I’m actually surprised they didn’t come earlier. But nonetheless, they came. I woke up to a very real feeling that I ruined my whole3o with some salted caramel ice cream.
There have been two dreams in my life that felt so real, I was confused when I woke up. The first was right after the first iPhone came out and I had a dream about buying one. I woke up looking for my new phone. Then immediately started crying when I saw my flip phone on my desk. The second was your pretty standard falling dream where you wake up gasping as soon as you hit the ground.
Those dreams were extremely disorienting for the better part of the next day. But food dreams are on a whole other level. I woke up completely convinced I had sabotaged this round with some freakin caramel ice cream. I spent 30 minutes laying in bed this morning trying to figure out what was happening. But I made some coffee and regained my grasp on reality, for the time being. I mean, if I was going to sabotage my whole30, it probably would be with ice cream, but salted caramel would not be my first choice flavor. I’m much more of a chocolate chip cookie dough kind of girl.
My last round of whole30, I had food dreams for a week. Let’s see what happens over the next week. But I’m avoiding the ice cream isle at the grocery store at all costs. Here’s hoping I dream about some cauliflower rice.
Meal 1: scrambled eggs with salsa, roasted brussel sprouts, and sweet potato medallions

Meal 2: spinach kale salad with chicken, mushrooms, red onion, and homemade balsamic dressing and a bowl of yellow squash & leek soup
