Reader beware. I am cranky. I'll start this post by showing you this
Can you read that? It says "Kill ALL the things!" This is especially true for me today. I am writing this to be honest about my experience. I think this program is great but that doesn't mean that I don't have bad days. I would say that last night and today have been rough. You know that feeling you have once your hangover starts to pass but you're still slightly hungover? Or when you have had the flu for 4 days and then you are finally able to eat real food but your stomach isn't quite ready? This is the best comparison I can give you. My stomach isn't completely on the fritz but its not normal and I just don't feel great overall. At least they tell you this is normal. Mostly from all the binge eating we did last weekend.
Brad woke up this morning in a much better mood compared to yesterday. Me...not so much. I was hungry but didn't really want to eat and just plain pissed off. Just keeping it real people. Today is an ugly day. I want my coffee with hazelnut creamer, I want to go to Panera and get a baguette and broccoli and cheddar soup. I'm throwing a tantrum.
Never the less, we press on!
Ok- enough of that. Lets recap yesterday. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to make but I landed on this...
If you're saying Oh that looks good! You are correct! Spinach, chicken, walnuts, pecans, raspberries, a few mint leaves all with a olive oil, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. It was delicious.
I was again, unsure about dinner but I kept seeing burgers with pesto so we made turkey burgers with pesto and green beens. I mixed up the meat with diced onion and a little garlic powder and cooked it in coconut oil.
The pesto... well I've never made pesto before and I pretty much made this up. I did some spinach, parsley, walnuts,olive oil, garlic - I think that was it? I honestly can't remember. I don't measure things out often :/ It was tasty though.
We put it on top of the burgers along with a little Paleo mayo.
Although that is a lot of green and doesn't look too good, it was very good.
Today I wasn't sure what to make for breakfast. I woke up starving! I never wake up hungry like this. It was odd. I loved the blueberry and egg frittata that I made the other morning so I went back to that. After I snapped this pic I also cut up half a banana and put that on top. Even better!
If you haven't made this yet... Why?? It's delicious! So again I was multi tasking and cooking chicken for Brad's lunch and helping get his meal packed. He settled on another Chicken salad with paleo mayo for dressing, fruit salad and nuts. It goes without saying that I'm extremely proud of him.
I realized that we were out of meat and quite a few other things so after I fed that cute baby we headed off for some Krogering.
Is this not the cutest little Krogerer you've ever seen?!? She kills me.
Well we went through and replenished everything we were out of and grabbed some things that we didn't have like Organic Sunflower seed butter and almond butter, Organic frozen turkey burger and organic frozen chicken strips so that we always have meat ready to go. I searched and searched and searched for sausage and or bacon so that we could make some breakfast casserole but guess what? Everything has SUGAR. I mean EVERYTHING!!! Cane sugar, sugar, maple syrup etc etc.. Grrrrr!!!!
So we may go back into town to visit Bloomingfoods to see if they have any but for now we are fully stocked with all the other stuff we need. Even got some Lara bars that are Whole30 approved!
Despite my clear tone of "This freaking sucks today", lets talk about a few positives:
My skin is clear, I'm not bloated and clothes fit better already.
They say getting through the first week is rough. I would have to agree. All my food tastes good but I think my body is just trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I shouldn't be complaining. I drank a shake for two meals of the day for 90 DAYS just a few years ago. This is actually eating food food! I can hold a grudge for 30 days, but I may die at the end of 4 days into this. Just kidding. Honestly I just need to let this out and I think I'll feel better. I know I won't be complaining 26 days from now when I've lost weight, have great energy and know how to cook with only 3 ingredients. I mean, after March comes April, May,then BAM! June is here and my bikini looks like it should fit my daughter better than me. Not happening folks. Not happening!
Alright, wish me luck and patience and all that good stuff.
