Whole30: Day 7 -- One Week DONE!

I get Whole30 Daily emails and at the end of each day's edition, there's a set of links -- one you click if you completed the day, and one to click if you messed up. This is the photo it gave me when I clicked that I completed the day. I think it is apropos. 

Today was much, much better than yesterday. Still a little bitter, but I'm sucking it up. We went grocery shopping today and spent an egregious amount of money on food, but then Derek reminded me that we usually spend not TOO much less than that and then STILL go out to eat most days of the week. So... we're still saving a shit-ton of money. And eating healthy. Who'da thunk? Any of you reading this who have ever said "I can't afford to buy healthy foods"... you are wrong. It can be done. I swear it. 

It's still feeling weird for Derek and I to not have our weekend activities revolve around where we're going to get food. We ate all our meals at home, and after lunch, for example, we were trying to figure out what to do but it... well, it was hard! Tomorrow after we get our food prep done, we're going to pack a picnic and go to a park (there are a couple very close by). We've been talking about doing it for a while and I think this is as good a time as any. Maybe I'll remember to take some pictures! :) 

Victory for the day: We forgot to pick up the stuff necessary for the recipe that was on the meal plan for tonight, so instead of saying screw it and going out, we found some other meat that was stuffed in the freezer and had that instead. :) 

Not much else to say about today, honestly. Hasta luego! :) 

What I Ate: 

Breakfast: two scrambled eggs, an orange, and some watermelon. Too much fruit but it was our last meal before groceries -- we were OUT. 

Lunch: Leftover chicken breast, salad, and a handful of cherries

Dinner: Steak and salad. 

How I Feel: 

Pretty okay. Still tired (as usual). I still don't think my body particularly cares for all of the vegetables it's getting right now... I think it's not used to so much leafiness, in particular. I'll leave it at that, but suffice it to say my tummy is a little upset right now. Otherwise, I'm in a good mood and I'm looking forward to starting Week 2. As one of my friends pointed out, after lunch tomorrow I will be officially 25% done with Whole30! Woot!
