Almost Day 30

I am happy to announce I am on Day 25. I have been quiet day n the weight loss front, because my mind has been too busy on life/ work front. I cheated. There I said it. Not crazy donuts with cake on the side covers in chocolate syrup cheating. I had some sour cream and shredded cheese and a taco shell. And yes, I know, I need to go a WHOLE 30 for it to count. So I guess I'm on day 5 of the reset. I will officially weigh in at day 30 of the original set. I still don't fit in my old clothes yet, so I know I'm not "there" but they are looser. Tomorrow starts another beautiful vibrant day, on the road to health, and maintaining happiness, and increasing wealth. This is not as much of a struggle, but this is still my #frinkinfatfight

Victory: Mental Clarity

Today marks day #15 of my #whole30 journey. It has not felt as remarkable as I had hoped. I guess I wanted to be a size 10 by the end of the #30 days, but I don't think that going to happen. I also had hoped that my breakouts would decrease, but they are unchanged. I fear I am allergic to eggs. It is the only food that I have increased my intake of, even a few months before the start of my #whole30.
I do feel more aware of what I am feeding me and feeding my children. Which has poured over to what I'm feeding their minds as well. I have decided to cut eggs out of my diet for the remainder of my #whole30. I have also been faced with "caring for myself" in the sense that I need to choose good, not convenient, food for my body. I have become acutely aware of how often my personal health and well-being gets set aside for convenience. This holds true for my kids too. I will continue to mold my families eating options towards all good and less convenient. My non weight #whole30 2week victory is mental clarity. This is my #frinkinfatfight

#whole30 Weekends

Well its Friday, I'm on day #12 of my #whole30 lifestyle change. This week has been good, I have stayed the course, even when the hubby was drinking MY pumpkin spice creamer that I was saving until after my #whole30 was complete. I need to cook ALOT this weekend though. My meats are bland without BBQ sauce, and I won't have grocery money until next weekend. Let's get this #frinkinfatfight

#whole30 day 10

Well here we are at day 10 of my #whole30. I am holding strong and not cheating! I'm very proud of myself! The rest of the family is struggling though. Especially the kiddos. They are wanting more junk food, sugar and snacks. The hubby wishes he could feel full, but without those stinkin flour, processed food, carbohydrate foods, he is left feeling hungry after he has eaten everything in the fridge. I sent my son to school today with celery sticks and Almond butter. I actually laughed out loud while I was making it; as I  imagined him opening his lunch box and looking in horror at the food. I do have more energy....not alot, I'm not running marathons or anything, but I actually made dinner, AND picked up the living room before I crashed and burned. I need more muscle. I hope I can start to improve that soon. I also have not weighed myself yet. I'm a little scared to. I'm going to hold out until the end of the 30 days. Cheers to the struggle. It's still my #frinkinfatfight

Day #5 Energy than bust

Day 5 of this #whole30 healthy life change thing. I did good today. I had more energy today than I have had most days. My kids on the other hand fell far, far off the #whole30 wagon by indulging in pancakes with syrup. I felt thinner in my PJs, but when I got dressed in real clothes today I realized I was still fat...lol. I can't wait till my clothes fit again. I flat refuse to purchase bigger clothes, so PJs and exercise clothes it is for a few more months.

Day 4 #whole30

Well I'm at the close of day 4. I think I'm actually getting FATTER on this healthy eating kick. Mainly because Kieshan is overfeeding me. That's what my excuse is at least. No cheats though!! The other challenge is feeding the kids the healthy meals too. Neither of them have been happy or willing to eat the dinners. The other dilemma is the costs. Not having the cheap carb fillers to put on the plate next to the expensive meat and veggies means XTRA meat, veggies or fruit. My skin hasn't changed. I think I'm allergic to work. My motivation and energy level are still down at the bottom of the motivation/energy pool. Week 2 will require some more flavors, dips, sauces, etc. Apparently we eat food because the sauce we put on the food tastes good, not the taste of the food itself. Cheers to the weekend. This is not just a struggle, this is my #frinkinfatfight.
