ELAAD Times 3
ELAAD.
Eat Like An Asshole Day.
This is a term my friends and I concocted back when we were all simultaneously dieting. It was our version of a cheat day. I know Whole30 despises Cheat Days and now I can see why.
This weekend, Sara and I attended two Flogging Molly concerts and a musical production of the Wizard of Oz all while throwing all our good dining habits to the wayside. I drank waaaaay too much and it’s weird how much weirder beer tastes after not having it for a month. Apparently I also discovered I don’t like Maker’s Mark.
Thursday Sara and I had her celebratory alcoholic drink from the arcade bar near our house. She was a huge fan. I wasn’t that fond of my Not Your Father’s Root Beer, as it tasted syrupy. Then we went to have Mexican Martinis and queso at one of our favorite Mexican places. I really could feel the alcohol hitting me harder. We had to wait around and drink some water before we were good to go on.
Friday we ate Panera and Texas Roadhouse. My Panera choices were poor ones, but the steak and shrimp I got for dinner made up for it. I had a few too much to drink and poor Sara had to drive my drunk ass home.
Saturday we ate Cracker Barrel on the way home, basically we just had bread for all parts of the meal, and then picked up food at Costco for our early dinner before the show.
3 days filled with poor decisions chasing us back to the waiting arms of the tenants of Whole 30. We both decided that going back for a week would help us feel better, that and I am going back to the gym after work tonight. My plan this week is to get 3 good workouts in. Sara, too, is feeling the after effects of terrible eating. We need to pull back on going crazy and find out if dairy and/or gluten is the cause for her digestive based funk.
ELAAD had its desired effect. We don’t want to eat that crappily for a while.
