Whole 30 - Day 4

I had a very restless night last night. Mainly because I had to pee like every 2 hours. Will my body ever get used to consuming this much water? I was also plagued with vivid dreams. I'm no stranger to these but I thought it was worth mentioning since Husband seems to have the same thing going on.

Day 4

How the book says I'll feel: "Kill all the things." So. Much. Rage.

How I actually feel: I woke up in a pretty good mood. However, was a bit irritable later in the day. No murderous thoughts, thank goodness. And I'm not actually certain if it was hangriness or 3rd day of my period-ness, to be honest. 

Breakfast was eggs and sausage with sliced tomato. Pretty good but neither of us finished. So many eggs. I like eggs but not everyday. Spent a few minutes after breakfast googling "Whole30 Breakfast NO EGGS!" Found a few good ones to add to our repertoire.

Lunch was leftovers from last night. Very satisfactory. Wasn't feeling too-too hungry for lunch but kept my schedule and finished like a good girl. 

Hunger pangs crept in around 3pm still. I ate half of a Larabar and then drank some tea. That helped.

Dinner tonight (pictured below) was out of this world. I threw a pork tenderloin in the crocker with all-kindsa-spices and turned it into carnitas, which I served over a sweet potato hashbrown (cooked in coconut oil) and homemade pico de gallo. There were only enough leftovers for one of us and husband claimed it first. Damn! It was fan-frickin-tastic! Thanks, @Whole30recipes again!

Husband says: Not anymore angry than usual. Had heartburn randomly but only for a minute. And today's poo was disappointing. Dinner was great! Lunch (leftover "Melissa's Chicken Hash" [Whole30 Book recipe] from yesterday) was disappointing. FYI - It's not very good the next day. Better fresh. Too pungent.

Bonus: Got organized and prepared breakfast for tomorrow morning. *High five*

This is tomorrow's breakfast. Egg Fritatta recipe from the Whole30 book.

Paleo carnitas. Seriously, to die for.

5 Things I've learned so far...

1. Our baby has fingerprints already. I'm not sure why but this freaks me out. 2. Pregnancy heartburn is NO JOKE. Before this, I think I'd had heartburn twice in my life. I'm Mexican for Christ's sake! We love our spicy food. I guess I have to go easy for the next few months. Boo. 3. I can't watch "A Baby Story" without being reduced to a sobbing mess. But I find myself turning the channel for the delivery part. 4. The placenta & baby (aka alien) are about the size of an avocado right now. 5. Our baby will have duel citizenship. Cool, huh?

Whole30 - Day 2

I popped out of bed today with a meal plan in place and feeling pretty proud for completing yesterday. Bring on Day 2! Day 2 How the book says I'll feel : "The Hangover." I was to expect headaches, fogginess and general blah-ness. How I actually feel : Pretty good considering how I (well, we) felt when we went to bed last night. I was expecting to be pained and dumb today. No pain. No dumb. Breakfast was good. (And lovingly prepared by the Hubs) I wasn't actually very hungry but finished it like a good girl knowing that I would be famished soon if I didn't. My headache is gone and I went to bed without heartburn for the first time in about a week. #winning I am sad to report, however, that coffee sans cream is still grody. The Hubs also prepared a delicious protein salad for lunch. I licked my plate clean. I was feeling pretty hungry right before. (ate a few almonds) But the salad was great and very satisfying. Still had to pick up a few things at the ...

Whole30 - Day 8

A new day. A new week. And hopefully we'll get some new benefits from this program. Whole30 at a glance. Day 8 How the book says I'll feel : "Nooo! My pants are TIGHTER!" Some fancy things are supposed to be happening in my gut. Using new energy, working properly...all that. And as such, some experience a short-lived bloating. How I actually feel: I didn't wear pants today so I'm not sure if they were tighter but I didn't feel bloated. Quite the opposite. I was a ball of energy today. And very productive. My 2 p.m. crash didn't happen. I'm really okay with that. Breakfast was scrambled eggs (again), and some left over veggies from my roasted chicken a few nights ago. It was pretty good. Coffee wasn't as nasty sans cream. I read an article that told me to try coconut milk. I just don't know.... For the first time, I was on my own for lunch. I made "Mexican Tuna Boats" - A recipe from the Whole30 book and they were fa...
