We FINALLY did it. We finally had an entire day of meals that I enjoyed and that did not make me want to starve myself instead!
Granted, on the surface, today's meals seem a little suspect, but they were all compliant and all reasonable, I promise!
We had a good day otherwise, too. Got out of the house a bit; took the kitties to the vet for their semi-annual checkup, went to Target (to buy school supplies because in Virginia this weekend, school supply purchases are tax-free.), bought groceries.... then came home, made lunch, hung out for a while, picked up the kitties from the vet (they were not happy campers), and made dinner. Busy day but I don't feel super spent or anything, although I'd love a nap.
One of the things I've started to wonder about is what I will do if this Whole30 thing doesn't do a whole lot for me. I mean, I'm almost positive I have or will have lost SOME weight, if not a significant amount, but what about all the other stuff it's supposed to make better, you know? Like, I know we're only half-way through it, but I'm still tired, don't feel like I have boundless energy, and am not noticing many other physical changes. We have time, so I'm not ruling anything out, but like I said, I've been wondering about what happens if nothing happens.
Honestly, I don't know that a whole lot will change. I think we'll still stick with the 80/20 Paleo if for no other reason than it keeps some structure in our life and I think that that's our primary necessity for continuing to lose weight. If it means that we can be a little less strict because we don't have sensitivities to legumes or soy or whatever the case may be, so be it, but despite my previous rants and gripes, I'm pleased with the choices we've been making and I have no desire to jump completely off the wagon. Maybe just... dangle a toe off of it once in a while. ;)
Other than that, no new "poop 'n scoop", as my mom always says. Here's the skinny on what we ate today!
What I Ate:
Breakfast: two scrambled eggs, bacon (YAY!) and an orange
Lunch: two compliant hot dogs (who would've thunk -- but they were delicious!), carrots, and a couple pickles
Dinner: homemade chicken nuggets with marinara sauce and green beans. Thinkin I might have some fruit for dessert. :) In the win column, we used coconut oil tonight for the first time, and I am happy to report that my fears of having everything I eat taste like coconut were wholly unfounded. HOORAY.
How I Feel:
Accomplished. Productive. Sleepy. Still can't shake it. We got up early this morning though to drop off the cats... so, well... maybe that's it? Otherwise, nothing majorly new and different and exciting. Yet. Fingers crossed?
TOMORROW: We are HALFWAY THERE *cue Bon Jovi*
