Day 3...Yippeeee??

Day 3

Breakfast:
Sweet Potato Hash with Onions, 2 Fried Eggs and a Black Coffee (I was hungry so I remembered to snap a photo after a few bites, but it was GOOD!).

Snack:
Monkey Salad

Lunch:
1/2 Pork Loin, salad with diced mushroom and avocado.  Homemade dressing (evoo, mustard, salt and pepper)

Snack:
Frozen Grapes and a handful of cashews

Dinner:
4 Asian Meatballs, 1 scrambled egg and mini carrots.

How am I feeling?
Today I had a headache all day...felt like I was hungover.  My sister and I did a lot of meal planning last night and made some great go-to's like the Asian Meatballs, but this morning I felt like we drank two bottles of wine while cooking.  But according to the Whole30 site I am right on track for how I should feel so that's good I suppose.  I guess it just really shows the detox your body goes through while you ween off sugar and carbs!

Day 2

Breakfast:
Spinach, diced onions sauteed with coconut oil the added 2 fried eggs on top and a cup of black coffee.

Snack:
Frozen Green Grapes

Lunch:
Left over Pork Loin on top of spinach with diced mushrooms and homemade dressing (brown mustard, evoo, chopped basil, salt and pepper mixed really well).

Snack:
Monkey Salad (1 banana, coconut chips, and raw almonds)

Dinner:
Cashews and dried apricots (I was working)

How am I feeling:
Day two wasn't as bad at all.  I really have to get used to having a hot meal for breakfast as I was a smoothie for breakfast kinda girl for years.  That also means I have to get up a bit earlier to prepare, but I just throw those things in the pan and get ready until the food is ready.  So it's really not that bad!
My dinner was a bit lack luster, but it is really hard to figure out what to eat when I am with clients so luckily I was able to snack on the appetizers we had prepared for them and network through dinner with a soda water and lime in hand.
Honestly I am REALLY grateful for my fitbook!  It is really useful to be able to write down all my meals because I know in the later weeks I am going to have to figure out what it was that got me through the first week.  Also it keeps me accountable for my workouts because I hate leaving that side of the page blank.  For instance I was journaling in bed of all the things I ate today and realized I hadn't worked out...so I put on my shoes and went and ran stairs 5 times so that my "cardio" section wasn't left blank!

Jumping on the Whole30 Bandwagon

When most things in your life feel a bit out of control...one thing you can control is what you put in your mouth.  So therefore I decided with the encouragement of my roommate to try out this Whole30 "eating-plan" (I do not want to say diet because that messes with my brain).
To be honest I am doing 28 days, because on the 28th day I will be a bridesmaid in a wedding, and will not pass up on the festivities of this day and couldn't start 30 days before because I was in Napa...and I mean really, not drinking wine in Napa HAS to be a sin.

Day 1 (travelling back from Napa):
Breakfast: Consisted of 1 Organic Banana and 1 Cup of Black Coffee

Lunch: On the Plane...my only real option?  Black Coffee and a water please

Dinner:  1 Pork Loin cooked on a frying pan in coconut oil, with a side of organic applesauce.
A large portion of mushrooms, asparagus, and onions sauteed in coconut oil in a Wok.  Delicious!

How am I feeling?:
I knew that today would be rough because I was travelling, had to get home to shop and meal plan, but from all my indulgence over the weekend I feel like today was not as bad as it could have been.  I was ok until I started cooking dinner and then realized how hungry I really was!
I wanted to get a head start on the week, so I made some Turkey and Pumpkin Chili, froze some green grapes, and cooked an extra pork loin so I felt a bit more confident in having some go-to's.
Day One Done, WHEW!
