Oh boy, what a week! I was going to have Kurt do this Blog due to the fact he suffered the wrath of me detoxing off processed food and sugar. Seriously, if people tried getting off crappy food and sugar they would realize the damage it is doing to us all. The big issue is I LOVE it and miss it too, so much so I caved a bit this weekend, but it was my anniversary too.
I started getting bitchy day 4 because of all the time I was putting into food prep and cooking or so I thought. I also was frustrated with the lack of snack options because it did not include chips, chocolate or Starbucks. I was up and down and didn't filter well at all, even at work which can be tricky. Road rage also started to creep in, more than normal.
After snapping at Kurt and wanting my alone time, no I didn't want my alone time, yes I did. Ohhh, it was a emotional battle he calmly asked if this behavior was due to the fact of my lack of carb intake. Yeah, ya think... Just throw me a damn bagel with cream cheese and all will be calm again.
Wanting to give up and just go gorge myself with bread I hopped on the scale, which I know you are not supposed to do but whatever... I was down 4 lbs this week. Crap, this no carb, dairy, and no sugar thing was working, and I haven't even started moving/working out.
We went to Julian, California ( http://www.visitjulian.com/ ) for our 23rd anniversary. Super cute, rustic town. Reminded me of NH a bit. This town is known for their apple pies and honey. Pies = carbs. After walking through the town and doing the tourist thing we hopped in the car with out apple pie. I made it over that hurdle,
We continued out of town a different direction as I hate going the same way in and out of places, that is the ADD in me. As we made our way down the mountain area we stopped at a very cool place to get some food. Kurt grabbed these amazing street tacos and I got a fruit salad. Yes, a fruit salad, and it was fantastic! For my east coast friends they put a spice on their food out here called TAJIN. I love it, I think because of the limey and salty taste. My fruit was smothered in this which made it so yummy.

This was another hurdle as I would of just went for the street tacos and nachos. Small steps. But then we returned home and had to have something fun for our anniversary. See below, but we split it and didn't eat it all and it did have fruit. A HUGE hurdle.
Heading home from work tonight I will have to stop and shop for Week 2. It is a bit pricier at the grocery store but I am not buying lunches and snack everyday so I feel that it works out.
This week I need to increase my water, still having a huge issue with that.
So many people have reached out and encouraged me that I would feel horrible if I gave up, so thank you to all that are behind me and messaging me to keep me going I welcome any input!
No apple pie is a big win! Kuddos to you for skipping that bad boy. But maybe put it on the back burner for when the "fall" aka apple season rolls around �� It would definitely be a cheat treat for sure! Keep up the good work! And welcome to the SD club owners of Tajin! Best thing to go on fruit next to whip cream ��

Keep it up Jillian. You know all of the hard work will pay off. I was recently told by a personal trainer that if you want to lose weight- it is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise.
