day 1.
Well, I woke up late for my run which was ok by me since I am still pretty sore for my workout yesterday and my feet were sore. I had to eat my breakfast in the car which I know the book is against but I just did not have the time to sit down this morning and enjoy every bite. And now its 6pm and today was not too bad. Thankful for so many prepped meals, I know that will be what saves me. I think making my portions larger will help me get over the 'no snack' idea. Also looking at breakfast, lunch and dinner as meal 1, meal 2 and meal 3 is interesting it opens up what I might eat in the morning so I have a lot more options. I have been feeling bloated and my stomach has hurt all day, I think I have to thank the teriyaki I had last night as my last meal before starting whole 30 and all the probiotics in the kombucha I have been drinking recently. I will hydrate with just water tomorrow and a coffee if I really need it.
I am going to drink some unsweetened iced tea and relax with my daughter, hope its always this easy haha.
Meal 1 - hard boiled egg, blackberries, and an apple.
Snack 1 - dried plums with no sugar
Meal 2 - Shrimp curry with vegetables on spaghetti squash [homemade]
Snack 2 - macadamia nuts
Meal 3 - 2 eggs, peppers, chicken apple sausage and avocado
Drinks - water, unsweetened iced tea and a citrus raw kombucha
Before bed got really mad for no reason.

day 4.
Well, still very very emotional haha Cried over painted toe nails and Claire last night [she asked me to paint them then didn't like them and asked me to take it off haha]
The fam is still sick but we are all recovering. We got rest, had a nice day and I got myself a long 90 minute massage. It was awesome. Food has not been the hard part, the hard part has been feeling down and not trying to make myself feel better with toast or chocolate. Speaking of chocolate, I dreamt about eating it last night haha

Snack 1 - dates, 2 I think
Snack 2 - apple
Meal 2 - Grilled cod with cracked pepper oil and grilled zucchini with coconut amino and iced tea
Snack 3 - Lara bar
Snack 4 - almonds and dried pineapple
Meal 3 - Homemade egg drop veggie soup and iced tea

day 7.
mSlept just awful, I feel bad about these last few posts because other than no belly bloat I do not see any positives with Whole 30, I'm sure once these things pass I will see all the awesome stuff I kept hearing about and reading about but for now it sucks. It isn't even the food that sucks, my food has actually been really delicious. It has been just the timing of making a big change in my life while my family goes through other big changes. PLUS we are all sick haha oh well. I am gonna stick it out but right now - you suck whole30.
As I typed that I realized I am actually aiming for a Whole 33 because I might as well just start reintroduction once a weekend hits.
Meal 1: Lara bar [then my boot camp workout] then hashbrown and hot tea
Snack 1: Smoothie made with coconut milk, blueberries and a few dates
Meal 2: Paleo nachos with hot sauce and black coffee
Meal 3: Boiled artichoke with paleo mayo and chicken apple sausage with grilled spinach and mushrooms
I felt better after eating my larger meals today so I will try to pack larger portions for work.
After 1 week I still feel committed and I am hoping week two brings more smiles and less of an emotional rollercoaster because this past week was a doozy.
So I am drinking my lemon sparkling water and catching up on my DVR after Claire goes to bed - how was your first week?
