katiemaria Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This is my first Whole30 and I have been a little nervous. I am the type of person that checks the scale way too often and get discouraged when I don't see any change in the number that pops up. I am also the type of person that uses food as a cure-all for pretty much everything; sad...let's eat, happy....let's eat, nervous....give me something to eat. I am so hopeful and optimistic that I can look back at the end of my thirty days and not fall back into that cycle again. I am so ready to change my relationship with food and myself in general and live a happier and healthier life. So here goes everything. Day 1: I weighed myself this morning and took measurements, then hid my scale and measuring tape away so I won't be tempted throughout my journey. I was a little disgruntled this morning because it was the day after Easter and there are leftovers containing sticks upon sticks of butter as well as a ton of candy laying around the house. Self discipline was rough and many times I questioned whether or not I wanted to commit fully and start right after Easter. Not to mention, I was still recovering from a nasty sinus infection that already had me in a grouchy mood. Probably not the best start but I persevere. I didn't have to work until 12:30 so I wish I could say that I had plenty of time to have a breakfast, lunch, and dinner to take to work. Not completely true... I allowed myself to sleep in a little to hopefully knock out the sinus infection and woke up closer to lunch time... No "breakfast" for me. I still woke up and made myself a nice three egg omelette with spinach and cherry tomatoes. Then I prepared myself dinner for my break at work. I made myself a spinach salad with some Whole30 compliant caesar dressing topped with cherry tomatoes, a portion of chicken salad made with chicken, sliced grapes, and mayo that I made via the instructions of the book, and a portion of blueberries. Fast forward getting to work...COOKIES, CANDY, CHIPS, BASICALLY EVERYTHING I CANNOT HAVE. So much temptation in one small break area. I stayed strong though and held on. I made it through day one. Day 2: Woke up with a bit of a headache today...sugar withdrawals? I think YES! Time to power through. I didn't work but I did have school all day. Still made time to make food in between classes. Breakfast, I again had a three egg omelette with spinach and cherry tomatoes but I added in a half of a sweet potato to keep me going in the morning. Lunch I had some left over chicken salad, the other half of the sweet potato, a serving of brussel sprouts, and a handful of grapes. These meals have kept me satiated throughout the day. For dinner I had some chicken that I cooked in some balsamic vinaigrette that is Whole30 approved, another handful of grapes, and a serving of brussel sprouts. I am a bit nervous I am eating too much fruit... So I think I am going to add more vegetables rather than relying on fruits. We will see how it goes. I have to work at 6:30 am tomorrow... so here's to positive thoughts that I stay on track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
