Feeling Funky...




So last night I spent 3 hours preparing food to make things easier to just grab and go.  Crazy to say but I am over bacon right now.  I cooked 3 lbs of it and my clothes, hair , and house smelled like bacon.  I even have tender hands from cutting up so many veggies and trimming chicken.   My kitchen looks like a bomb went off with every skillet, pot, and frying pan used.  Food storage containers are crammed into my fridge with all the fresh food I haven't gotten to preparing yet.  We have a small fridge that is overflowing with whole food.  My 2 kids that are living with us are going to be eating Whole 30 as well, seeing their "carbie" food doesn't fit and would be a major temptation for me.  They can eat fun food at my oldest daughters home for the next little bit. 

 Up early today to prepare breakfast that was beyond my typical protein shake or banana.  I cooked and added another pan to the growing pile in my sink.  I was actually full leaving for work, egg, sweet potato hash browns, and chicken apple sausage.  I am having a hard time not using sauces.  I love sauces but know that is where a lot of my sugar comes from. 

 A few hours into my day and  I started feeling funky, my eye started twitching, headache and dizzy.  I went to grab water and a hard boiled egg hoping this feeling to due to the fact I didn't have Starbucks for 2 days now.  

Feeling a little better I began thinking about food a lot! I watched the clock till 11:00 am to heat up my lunch.  Oh, how my lunch would have been so good with cheese or salsa, but I refrained.  Small milestones. 

 Still feeling off and my head is pounding. I know it is me coming off sugar and carbs.  

I have eaten all the food I brought today and it is only 12:03pm.  Going to have to learn to pace myself and start moving so I am not found face down on my keyboard.  Have to go look through some ideas to keep me from hitting YogurtLand which is 2 miles from here.  

 So many great messages from people encouraging me and giving me ideas and their advice.  I appreciate it and it gives me motivation to continue because, seriously, how crappy will I feel if I don't complete this journey. 30 days will go by quickly some days and others it will feel like forever.  But I am excited even though I feel like crap today.

    You can do it!! Make sure you pack more than you think you need. Veggies and almond butter is my favorite. I ate 5 or 6 times a day for the first couple of weeks.

Floating Away

Just finished a 3 Day Juice/Soup Cleanse. First off, I actually completed it and didn't die.   I needed to reset my body as I hadn't gotten relief from my headaches for over a month.  I thought if I restart and then watch what I will be putting down my gullet then I can know what could be causing some issues I have been dealing with.   While scrolling through Groupon I found this amazing deal on Jus by Julie.  I checked out their site and it was legit and had great reviews.  It is usually $125 for the 3 day cleanse, but on Groupon it was $59.00 but I also had a code to lower the price to $40.00.  (Shipping was $29 but worth the freshness of one day shipping from NY) Side note, when using Groupon or Living Social always check for discount codes.  I use Retail Me Not  and also  Ebates , discounts and a kick back from my purchasing. If you are not using these site you are missing out my friend. I started Monday and was looking forw...

Not starting on a Monday

Fighting with my weight has been something I have dealt with for over 20 years.  After busting out 4 kids and putting everyone else first I have gotten lost.  I looked in the mirror and I was no longer at size 8 like thought I was in my mind.   My closet has clothes ranging from 8 to 18.  SHOCKING and super depressing. I am pretty active, more so then some of my friends.  I try to do things I think I can do in my mind yet in actuality I can't due to how big I have gotten and my cardio sucks...literally. I suck so much air hiking around SoCal but still make it, just way slower and dizzier.  A few weeks ago I put it out to the masses on Facebook about what worked for others and what other reccomend.  I got a lot of different ideas, input, and options that would cost me money.  I just am not sure I am ready to invest in myself just yet.  I still have some hurdles to jump over and my mind to get in a better place.  Hoping wit...

Self Love, Body Positivity, and Food Freedom

“Numb the dark and you numb the light.”    Brené Brown ,  Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead Why do we battle ourselves every day?  What are we hiding, stuffing, or avoiding?  This is something I am trying to figure out and have been for years (25 years).  I get it we all have a past, some a bit more complicated that have resulted in affecting others lives in a way that you may not have realized until it was too late, and now I see them challenged due to my choices they had no control over. I battle with the food issue every day, I know so many that deal with their craziness through other ways. Food Alcohol Drugs Phones Gaming Shopping Exercise A battle is a battle.  It is a control thing for sure.  My mind is out of control and food is my go to and comfort even though I feel horrible when I eat crap. I try to convin...
