Whole30 - Day 3

Oh boy. Looks like my body may be on to me. Something feels off as I wake up. Feeling very tired even though I slept a full 8 hours. My usually deep-sleepin' husband was restless too and tells me all about his very vivid food dreams over breakfast, "I could taste the Coke going down my throat." For the record, we've never been big Coke drinkers.

Day 3

How the book says I'll feel: "The Hangover." (again) I was to expect headaches, fogginess and general blah-ness.

How I actually feel: Yep, that's pretty much it. Just blah today...borderline bitchy at times. And my tummy seems to be a bit confused. Like, I already went...I need to go AGAIN?! I'm chalking it up to all the fiber. One good thing, I notice that my face looks slightly less bloated. So, yay.

Breakfast was a delicious concoction of homemade sausage, bell peppers and sweet potato hash made by my Husband. Good job, babe. Although completely satisfied, I start feeling hungry a bit early today...around 11. I can't decide if this is due to habit or if I really need something. Wait until noon to eat. Feel only slightly better. (Lunch was leftovers from dinner last night)

Errands cause us to eat dinner only slightly late. It was magnificent; A grilled organic steak using the Whole30 dry rub recipe, portobello mushrooms,  red peppers and avocado. It was very pretty too. But, sadly no pic. We ate it up quickly. Appetite appeased but my blood sugar still feels kind of low....probably because I have no sugar in my system.

Husband says: Was already dreaming about food and alcohol and really looking forward to having ice cream. My stomach feels solid. (whatever the hell that means...)

Bonus: I made ghee (clarified butter) tonight to use on future recipes. It's weird. But looking forward to trying it.

4 sticks of butter heated to simmer. The milk fat separates.Weird.

After you scoop it out and then strain it, you are left with ghee. or clarified butter.

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...
