Yesterday I told you about my food fears as I begin to navigate better eating habits to support my ailing thyroid. After a 43 day round of the Whole 30, this week I will begin to loosen some rules for when dining out is necessary.

Yesterday went fine. I ate a great whole foods breakfast and dinner. We had a busy day at work and the bank bought lunch so we wouldn’t have to break from our project for too long. I could have chosen a salad but decided to give myself something I used to love from this restaurant – a grilled cheese on gluten free bread, some sea salt kettle chips and fruit.

The fruit was delicious.

The rest of it was ok but I would have been happy with the salad. Plus, I was tired within the hour. So I came home to a delicious vegetarian dinner and felt good again.

Lesson learned. Honestly, I was a little relieved when my reaction was “meh.” At least I won’t be craving that stuff.

It’s another new day and so the experiment continues!
