\"Breakfast<\/a>Ugh, I totally slept like crap the night before. \u00a0I woke up in the middle of the night and was up for four hours before falling back to sleep again.<\/p>\n

GAH!<\/p>\n

By the time I rolled out of bed I was feeling like I got run over. \u00a0Running was not happening as I had zero energy.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness for breakfast soup! \u00a0A big bowl of broth hit the spot. \u00a0This had spinach and a little bit of shredded chicken in it as well. \u00a0Not the best picture I’ve taken of soup but it will have to do.<\/p>\n

I started feeling better and 100% a couple hours later. \u00a0It took a while but I got there, the broth helped tremendously. \u00a0Back home from a meeting, I made a quick lunch for us.<\/p>\n

\"taco<\/a><\/p>\n

More taco salad! \u00a0This totally hit the spot. \u00a0After a late lunch, Scott went out to do errands and I plopped down on the couch with the pups. \u00a0I was feeling lazy and not motivated to do anything. \u00a0Since Scott was already out, he brought home dinner.<\/p>\n

This became interesting and a challenge of its own. \u00a0With Spring Clean Eats, the goal is to eat high quality foods and little to no grains\/empty carbs. \u00a0That eliminates a lot of places for takeout!<\/p>\n

Scott came home with BBQ from a place just up the road.<\/p>\n

\"BBQ<\/a><\/p>\n

We had ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, beans, and potato salad.<\/p>\n

I was totally bummed out because the food was disappointing. \u00a0I’ve had really good BBQ<\/a> before and this was just a’right. \u00a0I only had two of the ribs because they were gigantic so two was plenty. Only a few bites of coleslaw because it wasn’t very good. \u00a0The potato salad and beans were not my style.<\/p>\n

So I was left feeling guilty that we just spent money on subpar food and I should have just made something quick myself. \u00a0Plus there’s the fact that I doubt this was a nice pastured pork, so ugh what did I just eat?<\/p>\n

That is what I call, The Quality Food Dilemma. \u00a0Do you sacrifice quality for authenticity? \u00a0This will definitely be another topic that I bring up after the challenge so we can have a full on discussion about it. \u00a0It’s one of my on-going “food” debates \u00a0and I haven’t figured out an answer just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
