Whole30: Day 25 -- Not a Great Day.

Well... Remember in the beginning when I told you that there's a period of time in the Whole30 time line called "Kill All The Things"? And how I must be weird because I didn't really experience that at all?

I think it's rearing it's ugly head. Otherwise people have been tremendous assclowns today. Which I'm not discounting, but...

It started with traffic. There was an accident on I-395 that blocked two lanes (of three). So even though I left earlier than usual, I got to work late. Awesome.

It was downhill from there. Had a meeting this morning and a woman in it kept asking the most inane questions in a really defensive, accusatory tone, which threw the meeting off track and the rest of us didn't get to hear everything we showed up to hear. That was annoying.

There was more, but it's mostly inconsequential now.

Oh, and I got a headache.

I mean, I guess it doesn't really count as a KATT day because I was actually still in a pretty good mood otherwise. But I am pretty tired today (didn't sleep well last night) and despite how optimistic I am and have been, and how comfortable with the frame of mind I'm in, I'm just really, really ready for the Whole30 to be over.

I think it's less about being frustrated with Whole30 and more just that I'm REALLY impatient and that I know the end is so close that I just want it to hurry up and get here. Kind of like Christmas. I get really excited about Christmas getting close that I want it to just hurry up and get here, but once it's here I'm like "Wait.. that's it? It's done? Now what?!" and life goes back to normal and you start waiting for it all over again.

Okay maybe that was a terrible analogy. Anyway, the bottom line is that I'm still in a good place with this, so I don't need you all to come to my rescue (although I know you would in a heartbeat because you're all wonderful people and I love you). What I really need is a good night's sleep. And a vacation. Both of which are coming soon, one of which not soon enough!

I'm sorry I don't have anything fun to talk about today! So how 'bout you all give me topics? Comment on the FB post this was in with questions you have for me about Whole30, or anything you want me to cover, and I'll cover them in at least one of the next 5 blog posts! No? Okay, humor me. I'm running out of ideas, here. ;)

On that note...

What I Ate: I bet at this point you could pretty much guess, no?
Breakfast: two hardboiled eggs, an orange, cucumbers, and nuts
Lunch: veggie beef soup, carrots, pepper strips, watermelon, tomatoes
Dinner: hot dogs, pepper strips, pickles, strawberries. (We really did not feel like cooking tonight!)

How I Feel:
Kind of like a truck hit me. I'm not really sure why I didn't sleep well last night but I have been markedly more tired today. I don't think it's a Whole30 thing. I think it's a chronic sleep deprivation thing. Hopefully I can catch up on sleep during my vacation and come back actually feeling rested? Ha. A likely story.

Otherwise, I think that my snappiness and crankiness today had less to do with Whole30 and everything to do with the fact that I encountered some really dumb/crabby/annoying people today. People who are healthy and eat clean can still have bad days, right?

And now, I am off to bed! FIVE MORE DAYS!
