It's day 15 yo!
Whole 30 is going great! Of course, I have my ups and downs.
Here is a quick recap.
Day 7: My brain is an asshole. I woke up in a weird mood. I just felt off. At work I read something that made me more emotional than I should have been… I was to the point of tears for no real apparent reason. I was just overcome with sadness. My mind slipped for a moment and my thought was, "Gosh, some chocolate would make me feel better…" Then it hit me. I was not really sad, I was having a sugar craving from hell! My brain was basically being an asshole, making me sad in hopes of getting sugar! Talk about scumbag brain.
I used this moment as a real learning tool. I clearly have an unhealthy relationship with food. I didn't really realize it until that very moment. Now that I do know this I feel very empowered! You can't fool me scumbag brain!
Day 10 & 11: The website calls these days the hardest days. Knowing these days were when the majority of people quit the program just added fuel to my fire! I pretty much charged through these 2 days with my eyes set on the prize.
Day 12: First time eating out! My mom, sister, and I went out to eat after we went wedding dress shopping for my sis! At first glance of the menu it was very disheartening. Seeing all the things that I couldn't eat was very hard. I ordered shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. I settled with broiled catfish, cabbage, and a double salad. At first bite the catfish was extremely BLAH. Of course my emotions got the better of me… There's nothing quite as awkward as bursting into tears in the middle of a restaurant. I was also upset that I was being dumb and didn't order the crab legs because "they don't taste good without butter!" My mom sweetly ordered me a side of crab legs and I also decided to try to jazz up my fish with some salt. So, salt is amazing. It made my blah fish really delicious! And crab legs are actually DELICIOUS without butter! I really tasted the actual crab! So good! I survived my first meal out and I'd say it was a success!
Since I've started my workouts have been insanely fantastic. I can't really think of the last time that I felt this good or had this much energy.
I have had a really fun time cooking/learning how to cook and trying new recipes! Tonight for dinner I had buffalo turkey meatloaf and roasted broccoli! Who knew roasted broccoli was so freaking delicious!
Well, there is a pile of dishes calling my name that I must attend to…
Have a great week!
