This morning I felt better when I woke up and even though I was tired and had a headache, I still felt more mentally able to cope. I reached out to my friends on the forums that I belong to about Whole30 and chatted over email with my new UK friend who started on Sunday as well. Now I feel more in control and renewed.
I am not posting a pic of today's breakfast because it was, well, pathetic. I'm struggling to eat protein and veggies for breakfast, so while Whole30 compliant, it was not stellar.
Lunch - Grilled chicken, roasted veggies and applesauce (I chose not to eat the applesauce because I was craving sugar after my meal and thought it would not help changing that habit)
The afternoon went well and my spirits are much higher than I thought. I got so many helpful ideas today. I also downloaded Well Fed 1 and 2 which are Paleo Whole 30 approved cookbooks. Some great ideas in there. Tomorrow lunch will be the silk ginger zucchini soup! My house smells amazing.
Dinner
Dinner was a makeshift taco salad. I wish my mayo had been successful so I could have made the ranch dressing as this was a lot of one flavor.
I had a snack too - 1/2 a banana with whipped coconut cream and unsweetened coconut flakes
All in all it was a darn good day 2. I learned that sleeping resets all my negative self doubting thoughts so I truly just need to take this day by day.
Until tomorrow...

A snack that I look forward to is (if apples are allowed) sliced apples with cinnamon! You're bound to suffer form sugar withdrawal too which can be yuck and mood swingy/headachy but stick with it! Day by day! I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteJust think of that beautiful picture of you with Jill that you posted on FB the other day when you felt good! Just remember that feeling and you'll get it back. Stick that picture everywhere to remind you!
