Day 1! March 30

 

Here we go:

 

DAY ONE

 

Breakfast

Frittata (about two eggs, spinach, onion, salsa)

Small apple with almond butter

 

Missing my coffee with organic whole milk. I brought a water bottle to work filled with organic canned full fat coconut Milk that I had blended and refrigerated the night before. It's totally solidified. How do you drink this in your coffee? Do you have to blend it always? Help! 

 

Lunch

Can of tuna with 1/3 of an avocado, salsa, lemon juice, and real salt

Carrot and celery sticks for dipping

Pumpkin seeds on the side for snacking

 

Feeling satiated

 

Iced green tea with lemon

 

Dinner

Spaghetti squash with bolognese sauce (grass fed beef, tomato sauce, herbs, mushrooms, onion)

 

Small apple with almond butter

 

I usually make a grain-free coconut flour mugcake or a chia pudding after dinner. I'd like to eliminate the need for anything sweet at all--even fruit. Looking forward to breaking this habit! It was a great first day and I'm feeling prepared.

Thanks for the tip Tom. I'm usually one to have smaller meals and snacks throughout the day—even though I know more complete meals works better for my digestion, weight, and energy. I'm going to try making my morning meal larger so I'm not hungry in the afternoons.

This weekend (days 6+7) I went a little off the tracks. While I stayed compliant, my days were less structured and I didn't stick to meals like I did during the week and ate more a little here and little there.

 

Ready to get back on track tomorrow and now that I know what to expect over the week, I will be more prepared.
