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.

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...

But I Have An Excuse..No, No, I Don't.

Soo... Whole 30, great concept, but crazy hard.   I have learned a lot of great ideas, got on to all the Whole 30 and Paleo/Keto websites, Instagram, and Snapchats.  Looks so easy and when they have all the food and budget, cooking this way seems like a breeze.  Reality... meal prep, preparing food this way after working a full day took almost 2 hours of peeling, chopping, shredding, mixing, boiling, and cooking.  Shopping, my trips to a few stores took major planning.  Spouts, Trader Joes, Ralphs, and then back to Sprouts.  As many of you know I am a bargain shopper and use coupons.  Most if not all the Whole 30 stuff was not coupon friendly.  Ghee, do you know what that is? Oh, and the cost of ghee?  They also said I could make ghee with butter by cooking it down, but the amount you need to do this process is ridiculous.  The food I made was super tasty, but after slaving away in the kitchen for so long I was so over the meal ...
