Seven Days In

via

Seven days....  On one hand I am ready to scream and shout from the roof top.  On the other hand, I remember I still have 23 days to go.  Things got tricky today. First off, I woke up before the crack of dawn.  Second, I didn't have breakfast.  Lastly... I cheated!!  I used one vanilla creamer in my decaf coffee at dinner, but you know what, I am ok.  Technically the rules say I have to start over, but Melissa Hartwig (founder) of Whole30 had a few awesome posts on instagram that made me realize I am doing better than I have been in  along time and sometimes IT IS OK to have that one teeny tiny thing.  I refuse to let one mess up make January a total failure.  I got up, drank a shit ton of water and decided that I wouldn't fall off the wagon and go on a binge.  I am feeling great, my pants are loose, and so far I am feeling good.  I hate the 2 p.m. slump I find myself in and I hate that I continuously wake up prior to my alarm, but I am embracing this change as a good sign.

Whole 30 Round 3 Day 1

Well it has been almost 2 years since I really committed myself to a Whole 30 round, but with the New Year came a purpose to go for it again.  January is no better time to start and today just happens to be day one.  I won't lie, I ate more horribly than I normally do yesterday all in the way of giving up chocolate, wine, butter, cottage cheese, coffee creamer and every other delicious thing under the sun.  Then of course I slept like absolute shit, but here I am today doing this thing.

So far I feel hungover and sleep deprived.  Per the calendar from the website I have about a week of this, but I don't remember this feeling from the first two rounds.

Maybe it's the fact that I by passed coffee this morning because I literally cannot without creamer, but don't worry these are arriving from Amazon on Thursday.

The meal prep wasn't awful.  Breakfast is egg muffins and fruit for breakfast, veggie bags full of snap peas, broccoli, mushrooms and carrots for a snack; lunch was apple chicken sausage, spinach salad with cucumbers and dinner will be asparagus and baked salmon.  Honestly it isn't awful... It's just the detox that is hell.  

Anyone else participating in Whole 30?
