W30d6—Diary of a Wimpy Dad


Boy I really had to struggle with my title, I was going to try a take-off of the Whole30 thing by saying Whole Grains, Hole45 (I am 45 years old...well close enough). But I decided to take on the Wimpy Dad roll since my daughter just watched that movie and it was kinda fresh in my mind. I never really did consider myself a wimp, but now I am on Day 6 (knock on wood that I continue), I notice I am complaining, and irritable and basically everything one would consider as a wimp.
Yesterday I found me annoying my wife as well as me with my "I can’t have that anymore" comments. Yeah, it bugged me too. I have decided that I am going to migrate away from that comment to something more positive and less annoying like "I don't eat that anymore". It gives me more of a sense of control and not being a little b*tch.
So I just finished making breakfast this morning and since I have been craving carbs, I decided to use my sweet potato mash mix and add 3 organic natural eggs, a butt load of garlic, some red pepper, and onion powder. I did this to try and take some of the sweetness away from the potato. I then took an avocado and mashed it up (see my violent nature here—I freaking mash everything!) I then added some of my fresh salsa I had pre-made (guess it’s not all that fresh after all) as well as some of my asparagus mole and mixed that s**t up big time.  After cooking up the egg-sweet potato mash mix, I then plated it and put my “guacamole” on top and I do have to say...


…that it’s the worst looking pile of crap I have ever made! Don’t just take my word for it, look and judge for yourself.
Crappy Looking Breakfast


Yup—that’s some messed up breakfast my friends. But, since I am diabetic and have already been awake for a couple of hours I decided to eat it anyway. Not all of it though, it was way too much. It wasn’t great, but it also wasn't that bad either. It certainly was not as bad I it looks and I don’t think I will die at this point from it, so I may have dodged a bullet.

Not all my food this past week was horrible. My lunch on day two (at work even) was fantastic…take a look at this.
Nice Looking Lunch Huh?

I got shrimp cooked in extra virgin olive oil with some red peppers, garlic and onion. Plus some fresh cooked asparagus all on top of (you can't see it, but it is there) a mix of cilantro, green onion, avocado, celery, red-orange-yellow bell pepper and cabbage. Now this was spectacular.

Anyway, I need to stop here, I will be posting more lately tonight. I have never thought of blogging before, but I think I may like this. And I am still not throwing up my breakfast. Think I will head out to Lowes and get some soil for our raised garden.
PEACE!
