I'm back! It's been awhile since I've posted anything and thought it was time to change that.
I've decided to do the Whole30 Challenge with my sister-in-law. Our awesome, supporting husbands will be tackling this challenge with us. Never heard of the Whole30 challenge? In a nut-shell it's 30 days of clean eating - no dairy, grains, added sugars, etc. You can find more information on the Whole30 website.
Day 1 is almost in the bag. The hardest part of my day is coming up though - the "sweet treat time", which is usually between 8-10pm. 20 minutes in and so far, so good. I feel like I deserve something sweet around this time of night as a reward for surviving the day - not the best mindset to have. I'm hoping that mindset will go away as I finish this challenge.
Day 1 Spirits - Determined and Positive
Day 1 Food - Overall a good food day. I did feel pretty hungry a couple times so I may need to add more protein and fats to my meals - or it could be that I'm used to over-eating. I'll see how tomorrow goes.
- 2 eggs, scrambled with a little EVOO
- 1/2 avocado
- berries
- black coffee
- hot water with lemon juice
Meal 2:
- Spaghetti squash with some spinach covered in bolognese.
- Bolognese had ground beef, carrots, onions, mushrooms, marinara sauce and spices.
I was pretty hungry a bit later, so I had a small handful of roasted, salted macadamia nuts.
Meal 3:
- Grass-Fed ground beef with carrots, onions, and green beans.
- Sides of roasted sweet potato and zucchini, both of those were roasted in some EVOO and salt and pepper.
