Day 4 - Feels oddly normal

Last night after I posted, I felt very discouraged. I started having the "I can't eat like this for 27 more days" thoughts. I couldn't even pack a protein and veggie breakfast because my stomach was turning just thinking about it.

After a great chat with the hubby and a few tears, I was ok. I was reminded of how important this 30 days is to me and how I really do want to see it through and decide at that point how to continue. After repeating it's only 30 days in my head a few times, I hit my reset button by going to sleep.

This morning, I felt pretty ok. I didn't manage to get up early enough to do my breakfast at home, but I gave myself a break and just had berries for breakfast instead of the full "template" meal I'm supposed to have. Obviously there is no picture of my little container of berries...

My mayo making finally was successful using the new Cuisinart immersion blender















Lunch Today is egg salad with my home made mayo atop a bed of spinach

Decided to try the Old School Italian Meat Sauce (modified slightly to what I had on hand) from The Clothes Make the Girl over spaghetti squash. Unfortunately I was missing a lot so it ended up way more basic. 

This was Jeff's first time having spaghetti squash and he actually ate a full plate. I added extra veggies to the sauce.

I'm feeling ok but this way of eating certainly does change your thoughts about food. You can't eat because it's luscious or fun. It's eating for nourishment. That's a hard shift to make after more than 40 years of doing something one way. I'm feeling a bit pouty and annoyed at the whole thing to be honest.

Until tomorrow...
