Whole30 - Day 5

I woke up feeling pretty normal. Really can't complain. I keep waiting to just hit a sugarless, boozeless wall of reality and go into shock. So far, the side effects have been minimal. Here's hoping.

Day 5

How the book says I'll feel: "Kill all the things" again. Ragey in general.

How I actually feel: I'm almost afraid to say I feel good. But I do. Less bloated all over. Skin is less oily. I still seem to get a headache here and there but they are minor and short lived. I woke up with the craziest Charley Horse though. Not sure if that's related but I'm given you all the deets, people.

My breakfast frittata was very nice. And a nice change. We accompanied it with fruit and bacon. This has been my favorite breakfast so far. I felt very satisfied as I continued my morning.

For lunch, I hit a minor snag. Got my schedule confused thinking I would have time for a meal at work. I didn't. So, for lunch today all I had time to eat was a stalk of celery and half a piece (4-5 bites) of frittata. By 3, I was starving. Thank goodness for Larabars. All my food was compliant but this wasn't exactly a meal. Will do better tomorrow.

Dinner turned out pretty good. We had a giant salad with lettuce and spinach, and organic hamburgers (bunless of course) with homemade guacamole. Nothing fancy but oh so good.

Husband says: I'm tired of not getting a good night's sleep. I'm waking up too much. Still happy with the food. Hard not to drink though. (He just got home from stopping by a friend's birthday bbq. Said friend always has the wine and beer flowing. I chose to stay home and avoid temptation.)

Bonus: All tomatoes and jalepenos for tonight's supper were from my garden. It doesn't get much more organic than that!

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...
