it all began while eating lunch with my friend Marie. she was on this whole 30 kick and told me i should do it to. this was her second time doing whole 30 and liked her results the last time. at first said no and then i when zoey said she would do it. i thought twice about it. so i came home and researched it. the research i found was amazing. it said this change could potential help my iron increase and all skin problems subside. and most lost weight in the thirty days. all win win situations. i ultimately just want to increase my iron but the weight loss would be great. so i jumped on. and decided to take the wild ride. it took me a few more days to decide to say yes to and no to....
day one. i ate well and i wasn't even hungry. i wanted more stuff i couldn't have... you like candy and bread and CHEESE.
day two. more of the same but i wasn't hungry and didn't need a nap when i got home from school. even with it being the first day all twenty children invaded room 166.
day three. a little harder as i really wanted candy and CHEEZITS. its no secret i love cheese. hey did i mention i love cheese. my only issue is drinking the water. i am not a drinker so drinking is hard for me.
day four. it was a thursday and we were going to the creative discovery museum. it was going to have to be a meal out. what ever would we eat. after some thinking we went to Fresh 2 Order. i had a club salad with no cheese or bread. i was tasty. zoey even kept with program and had a grilled chicken sandwich without the bread and had green apples over chips. i had an unsweetened green tea. that was a nice treat. when we got to the muesum i wasn't tired or eager to leave. i even let kenzie drag me around and show me things. all would say that is a major accomplishment for me.
day five. no problems until i was invited to go eat. i was thinking no then i said surely i can find something besides the cheese dip on the menu. i did i had mexican style tacos with out the shell. so steak, cilantro, and onions and verde salsa. it was yummy. i was tempted to cheat. i was tempted by patterson to have one lick of cheese and a margarita. i wanted to drink especially after the day, the week i had at work. did drink about 40 oz of water if not more sitting there talking. i even wanted to stop and get a krystal burger but i didn't ... the thought of starting over weighs to heavy on my mind. i also had to be true to the commitment zoey was making too.
day six. i thought the weekend would be the worst just because i am not in any kind of routine. but it wasn't. i had a good brunch as i slept in. and ate a yummy dinner. i only had fruit once. which was great for me.
today is day seven and i am so glad to see some results. i don't feel sleepy all the time. i don't feel like my stomach is fat. it even looked like my face is slimming down. i also realized that i am a stress eater, as i wasnt able to eat out of stress. i found out that coconut flour and coconut milk in my eggs is yummy. i can make up for lack of the bad stuff in seasoning. i found i can prepare my meals at home and save money. i found that zoey actually likes most of the things i have cooked. eating was one thing i felt i had control over in my life this week.
I can't wait to see what the next week brings. i said i was going to wake up to go to zumba this week. i hope i can..
