My Whole30 - Day 1
Wow. Yesterday was quite an eventful day for a couple of reasons.
1. You like me, you really like me!
My blog received the most number of hits in a day than even before! For a newbie blogger, this really excites me. I can’t believe so many people are interested in what I have to say and it was so encouraging to receive so many positive comments. LOVE YOU ALL and THANK YOU FOR READING!
2. I successfully completed Day 1 of the Whole 30!
Since I had already been cutting out most of the processed foods from my diet for the last month or so, I didn’t find it too difficult to stay completely on the program yesterday. Cutting out dairy and added sugars is new for me during this month, but I’m giving it my best shot! Plus – I have had cheat days over the last month, but cheat days over the next 30 days are NOT ALLOWED. If I cheat, I have to start Day 1 all over again. That’s just how it works and I’m okay with that.
DAY 1 - WHOLE30 EATS
7:30am: I enjoyed an extremely filling breakfast of a mega-veggie scramble, roma tomato and 1/4 avocado. Boy, was this filling and tasty. I was full ALL morning.
Check out ALL those veggies. |
1:30pm: I quickly made some balsamic chicken with two skinless/boneless chicken thighs and threw it on top of some mixed greens, 1/4 avocado and 1/2 head of roasted cauliflower. Another super filling meal.
Don't that look purrrty? |
My saving grace. After Jesus, of course. |
A large order of fries?!?!?!?!!?
Men.
I was so mad and demanded my blueberries. All was better with the world at that moment. Those blueberries saved my life.
I made it the rest of the way, nibbling on fruit and a handful of pecans but didn’t make it to bed until 2am. I was exhausted. I know that getting a good night's rest is part of the Whole30 too, but we left so late from PA. Nothing I could do about it.
All in all, Day 1 was completed successfully. GO ME. Only 29 days to go. It is so true that the only way to be successful is to plan, plan, plan. If I hadn’t packed that cooler, things could have ended differently last night.
