meredithm1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 SO this morning was 2 poached eggs, 1 sweet potato, black coffee (that's a little tough to get used to) and 1/2 grapefruit. Last night was a huge veggie scramble with bacon, bell peppers, portobello mushrooms, avocado, and herbs, with a side slad. That was to make me feel I wasn't missing out on the quiche my boys were having, and it worked. Mental cravings are mostly about chocoalte and baked goods. I had a few Kill All The Things moments yesterday, so I gues I'm early, lol. Some stomach disturbances - I won't go into detail here. Tonight I will be singing until 2 am, with a 1 hour drive back home in a snowstorm. I'll have to prepare somehow so I don't cave and drive through. That will probably be my biggest challenge of the week. Other than that, it's not hard to say no, actually; it's easier knowing what I can and cannot have. Grey areas are the killers for me when it comes to food plans, so clear is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Can I hug and kiss your dog? What a pal you have there. Fainting from a lack of baked goods seems unlikely, so Yay You! Good Job! Hope that veggies become your second best friend.an I hug and kiss your dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meredithm1 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hahaha, she would love it! That's actually my (naturally lean, grrrr) husband with our dog. Big news for me - I am so excited that I made it through the 2 am hour-long drive without driving through a 24 hour crap-food restaurant! That is huge! I've used the "I have to stay awake" excuse with great success in justifying many a Big Mac/fries/ coke meal. I brought a banana instead, and had a helthy meal lalready cooked and at the ready in case I was starving when I got home. I wan't hungry, though (that myth just got exploded, lol) and I probably slept better without the additional 1,500 calories stewing away in my gut. I've just changed my date to officially Day 3 today, so after dinner I"ll have nailed it, and can move on to Day 4 woo hoo! Also, today I had an incredible craving for sugar. I mean, I wanted to eat my weight in it. It started with my son asking for licorice candy for dessert. I had just read that licorice is an excellent anti-inflammatory, so my brain went into overdrive, justifying that the licorice wheels should actually count as exceptions to the sugar rule, because the whole point of the WHole30 i to combat inflammatin, right? RIGHT??? I swear, some kind of sugar-craze fog descended over me, and I actually can't believe I managed to get through it without cheating. I ate some almonds and olives, and went for a brief walk, and the haze lifted. When it did, I realized I wasn't even hungry - those near-cramps were just really, really strong cravings! Anyway, I made it through on a day when I'm exhausted and sick, and possibly pre-menstrual, so my defenses are at their lowest. I'm so happy I was able to stick it out. I'm getting more and more committed with each successful day that passes. I ahve to admit I started a little resentfully and skeptically, even though I feel strongly that this is a good health choice. I look forward to the next phase.
