I thought I would break and do a "one week in update." So far so good. Really.
Now really, let's break for some harsh honesty. I am getting really sick of eggs and cooking! I am not so much realizing what I can't have, just realizing what I can have is slightly limited to certain bounds...and I've reached them.
Physically I am exhausted! I feel like sleeping all the time. I have kind of skipped days 1-10 listed here and went straight to feeling zonked and bored. I have some new recipes this week to try so I am hoping that pumps up my variety enough to keep this up!
Emotionally I am still ok with it all. I know it's only for 30 days, not a year. I know that I am almost a third done, and I am still hoping it produces good things for my gut.
Over all still ok and still excited to keep going. And I may or may not really want a donut!

Day 9 -
Breakfast: sweet potato with ghee roasted nuts

Dinner: Strawberry and spinach salad from Noodles and Co. (not pictured)
Day 10 -
Breakfast: scrambled eggs and pulled pork (not pictured)
Lunch: island impact smoothie with out added proteins or sugars...just fruit...from smoothie king
Dinner: ground turkey italian casserole (Not pictured)
Sorry for the lack of pictures. I am quite serious about what I had to say in my mid-week update. This was getting old and it resulted in my enthusiasm to take pictures or get creative!
Most missed: pasta and rice!!! I didn't realized just how much I consume and just how much I missed it.
Symptoms: over all tiredness. I reached the exhausted stage and stayed there. I am fairly confident it still has to do with being away for a month and hitting the ground running when I got home. No "recovery time" at all. I haven't been able to get a decent amount of sleep at any given point to make up for the sleeplessness while I was away. But as far as the whole 30 symptoms I haven't really had any headaches or withdrawals, I am not grumpy, etc.
Best thing I ate: I loved the banana whip! It has been such a nice "treat" occasionally! I made this years ago and posted here on the blog. But I altered it and added some additional fruit for #whole30 approval and variety. I will post what I do soon!
One of the rules of Whole 30 is that you aren't allowed to weigh yourself or take measurements. I didn't listen. =) I forgot to do so when I started but I did 2 days ago. Maybe one day I will feel like posting them but for now, know that I am watching my measurements.
Happy Hump Day!
