Day 7

Day 7 / Jan 10th
ONE WEEK!

Whoo hoo, made it one sweet week!  I am feeling okay with it, but it still feels like there's a long way to go.  And I'm still occasionally getting cravings.  This morning I also snuck a peek at my weight, and it was super low!  Like the lowest I have been in a very long time!  This marks about 6lbs I've lost, in a week!  
For those of you who don't know Whole30 isn't just a diet, it's a chance to press Reset on the bad eating habits you have picked up.  I have a horrible, terrible sweet tooth, and this is my way to kick it.  Not that I'll never have sugar again, it's just to make you aware how dependent you were on it, and to get better control over yourself!  
On the Whole30 you are not allowed:
Sugar (obvs!) not even natural sweeteners like honey, agave, etc.
Dairy
Grains
Beans/Legumes
Soy
Alcohol (NBD for me)
And some other things.
While I've been sticking to all compliant foods (other than my Day3 tiny slip up), the rules I haven't been sticking with: not weighing yourself.  Whoops! And not recreating sweet treats.  I've only done this a little, with the frozen banana/AB/CP slices.  It's not a regular occurance, and I didn't eat 50 of them.  Maybe 3-4 (~half a banana)  They encourage fruit sparingly, and I'm doing okay on that.  They also discourage eating too many dried fruits, and I have done it a little bit as well.  Those Larabars are good! Anyways, that's all my digressions.  It's rather long, but I still feel I am doing well, and working on my weak spots.  I was a serious sugar junkie and going cold turkey!

Breakfast - Sweet and Savory Blueberry Tortilla (it's neither tortilla or pancake. More like an omelet with blueberries instead of veggies)  It was pretty decent, but kept thinking "Oh  man would this be good with some blueberry syrup!" Bad Nicki, Bad!!





Lunch - Don't know what I'm having quite yet. I had a late breakfast, so probably nothing?  Perhaps an apple to tide me over to yummy dinner!

Dinner - Pomegranate Jalapeño Shredded Beef with mashed sweet potatoes and guacamole (doesn't this just sound divine!?)

Feelings - Tiredness.  In fact last night I was really tired and cranky.  I drank 2 big cups of coffee this morning to combat it!  Last time I did this, it just made me dizzy, so who knows.  I'm sure today is going to feel funny no matter what I do.

Exercise - hoping to get on the treadmill a bit later.  Will update if I do!

Notes: Today is Camillah's 10th Birthday!  Yay! 
I also need to get my bum to the store sometime this weekend, and come up with another week of healthy meals!
