Yesterday was the moot court banquet. I usually am not able to go, and wouldn't have this term under the circumstances, except my campus was hosting and I was in charge. I couldn't not go. I did my best to plan ahead. I ate a good breakfast, packed lunch and a snack, and contributed food to the potluck that I could eat--paleo deviled eggs and crab-stuffed mushrooms wrapped in bacon. I knew there would be guacamole, fruit, and vegetables that I could also have. I was too busy doing prep to eat lunch, though I managed to eat the snack. It didn't help that there was no microwave so I couldn't heat up my lunch. There was a lot of food I could have eaten but didn't: brownies, cookies, chips, bread, pasta salad. When it came down to it, there were some things I couldn't resist having. I ate one meatball, a little caprese salad, a small amount of my buffalo chicken dip, and a small amount of a snickers-apple-marshmallow fluff-cool whip dessert. I also had some alcohol. So I started over again today.
Dinner was yummy! Burgers with guacamole (avocado, cilantro, red onion, tomato, garlic, lemon juice, salt) and stir-fried mixed veggies.
Looks Delish! I think you showed commendable restraint under the circumstances. I'm afraid I allowed myself something "not quite" whole30 friendly during our dinner out tonight. I had steak & grilled shrimp with mixed veggies which are all fine, of course. Where the problem came in is the sweet potatoes. You could get a baked or sweet potato fries. I chose the fries due to there being no coconut oil and cinnamon available to make a baked sweet palatable. I only had two meals today, though! Here's to a new beginning!

You guys are rock stars! This meal looks delicious!
