Man I feel good! I feel refreshed! I feel skinny! I feel energized! I feel 100% satisfied!

Breakfast

My husband actually made me eggs over medium… I didn’t have the heart to tell him I didn’t want them so I drowned them in Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and Franks Hot Sauce.

I felt super good all morning. I was alert and super focused.

Lunch

I had some things I needed/wanted to use up so I tossed it all together and made a soup that was surprisingly good. I have no idea on how much of what I put in it but here is what I did use.

Hamburger, Onions, carrots, poblano pepper, beef broth, Whole30 approved salsa, garlic, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, and Whole30 steak sauce. I literally put everything in it except the kitchen sink. I just kept adding and tasting to it until I liked the flavor.

I must say, these poblano peppers are a new thing for me and I LOVE the flavor they give off.

My to do list seemed rather impossible to tackle but I somehow did it and more! I swear this energy is next level and so dang amazing!

Dinner

Oh dinner! So I grabbed a whole chicken when at the store for a couple of reasons. One I saw another blogger make one that sounded and looked delish. Two, my husband said he wanted to smoke one. Well, it sat in the fridge long enough that I needed to cook it. So, I made the Cast Iron Chicken and dang was it good!
