Today was a true test to my willpower.
First, we went to the Green Dragon to purchase produce and nuts. We didn't get any meats because most of the stuff we can get closer to home. But the produce and nuts were much cheaper. We tried to stock up as much as one can with items that spoil quickly if not used.
Then, and here comes the first obstacle of the day, we stopped at a diner for lunch. It really was not as difficult as I thought. We each ordered a different grilled fish along with a salad (oil and vinegar, please) and broccoli. We also shared a small plate of sweet potato fries because we asked how they were prepared. The waitress was very accommodating.
After dinner we met friends [Shout out to Theo and John!] at the Sands Casino to see UUU. Anyone who has been out with me knows that if I'm going to the Sands, then I'm going to have an extra dirty martini with extra olives. But wait! That is not permitted during the Whole30. Rats and double rats!! I did not cheat (neither did Don or Kara), and we drank water with lemon while we listened to the band. Let me say that the evening was fun, but I definitely missed having my special drink.
