Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 1, 2015

Today was Day 1 of the Whole30.

Breakfast - scrambled eggs (no milk), 2 cups of black coffee

Lunch- Burger on lettuce bun with avocado and onion, fruit salad (strawberries, pineapple, oranges)

Dinner- Chicken and broccoli

Water intake - over 75 ounces :)

I am craving sweets... a lot. Not missing the sugar in my coffee but missing every other type of sweet... cookies, chocolate... ughh. I am full but still hungry - hard to describe. I am stressing about planning my meals for the next thirty days. My fiance is not doing this with me so that makes it even harder. I am afraid that I will not eat enough, that the meals will be too difficult or time consuming, or that I won't like them. I am usually a very picky eater when it comes to healthy food. Just looking at the ingredients to some recipes makes me cringe. But... I am trying to stay positive and be openminded.

Day 2.. Here I come!

Are apples and peanut butter allowed in the Whole30? That's my "sweet" snack when I'm in weight loss mode. I have 2 friends who did it last year and they loved it, I just don't think I could put the wine glass down for a month :) Other than that - I steal recipes all the time.

Unfortunately, peanut butter is not allowed. :( and I love peanut butter, too... Apples are allowed, though. Fruit should be limited to 1 - 2 servings a day. Wine is going to be tough for me too... especially after a rough day at work. There is nothing better than a bubble bath and a glass (or a few) of wine.. but I will have to find a replacement - at least for 30 days. haha

I tried to do a Whole 30 last month. Not my brightest move during the christmas season lol. It was an epic fail, but the one thing that helped me a lot was making mason jar salads. They are great & they really helped me get in my veggies everyday without having to make a salad everyday. Sugar is hard. I had been off sugar since March & fell totally off the wagon mid december, which is why I'm here, back to square one. Good luck!!

Thank you for the suggestion! I think that making the jar salads would be extremely helpful! :o) Good luck to you also! We are in this together, 2015 will be a great (and healthy) year!
