Whole30 -- Easing In -- Not the Best of Days

Slept until 10 again! I could get used to this!

Brunch: Steak, Eggs, Strawberries

Snack: Apple

Dinner: Leftover Spaghetti Squash

I cheated today. The kids were fighting like crazy and I was short tempered and PMSing and I gave in to a fall tree Little Debbie. Tomorrow is supposed to be my "real" start date so I will suck it up and start over. Wish me luck!

Whole30 -- Easing in

Slept until 10am (thank you Dave!)

Brunch: Salmon, Eggs w/ bell peppers

Snack: Pistacios

Snack: Watermelon

Dinner: Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken  --LOVE THIS!

  • Recipe: 
Cut Spaghetti Squash in half, scoop out seeds and bake face down at 375 for 45 minutes.
Stir fry chicken in coconut oil, season well (I use tiger seasoning or garlic salt)
When Squash is done, scoop out meat with fork, season with garlic salt and add chicken.
Enjoy.

Dave has decided he will do it with me, though he still won't give up the beer lol. He only has around a 12-pack a month, anyway so it's no big deal, he just likes it. I guess I can give him that. :)  I didn't cheat today and I am proud of that! I hope it's all this easy, I loved everything I ate today.

The Whole30 -- Getting Started

Day 0

To Do: Clean out cabinets, pantry, fridge
  • Separate shelf in pantry
  • Separate section in fridge
Make the bedroom a food-free zone. Snacking in bed is a bad habit of mine. 

Take "before" picture
  • expose midriff, arms, legs
  • frame from front
  • smile :)
Weigh in --DO NOT WEIGH AGAIN UNTIL IT'S OVER!

     Worrying about this! Dave at first said he'd do it with me, but once he realized it meant no beer for 30 days he backed out. It would have been great to have someone go through it with me. Dave's toning up and getting stronger, CJ has lost so much she looks incredible -- like a different person. Emily is losing TONS being pregnant. Brenda is losing weight ACCIDENTALLY! I feel like all I do is struggle and gain. I really REALLY hope this works. I am glad I have my sis for help!
