Yes.
In fact, yesterday (day 6) I felt like crap. I ended up taking a 2 hour nap. That helped, but man - I was not ready to feel like that. I'm just lucky I could lay down and sleep it off.
But, I am noticing that things that were snug are a little looser, and I feel, well, different. Less bloated, overall good. The food we are eating is DELICIOUS and I think can be easily incorporated long-term. And I've had a few "eating out" challenges that I've been able to accomplish well. Between lunch out the other day, and dinner last night for Robotics at the school, I'm still sticking to plan.
I will definitely admit to some cravings. Someone brought in dinner last night for the Robotics Team, and the smell of the butter and ritz crackers on the chicken casserole was heaven. And the Halloween mini cupcakes looks amazing (even with the green and orange frosting). Usually they taste like cardboard but last night they looked decadent. However, I had my W30 compliant dessert and did fine. In fact, I cooked dinner for the 4 of us who are doing W30 and brought it in, along with some extra dinner for the other adults and got rave reviews!
My only complaint so far is how much I miss my coffee... working on a compliant option for that! Black coffee just won't do it for me.
So here was what I managed the last two days.
Day 5:
- Meal 1: Good old Sweet Potato bowl with Blueberries, Walnuts and coconut.
- Snack: Honey crisp apple with almond butter and coconut
- Meal 2: Steak Tacos at Outback (but I only ate the steak, pico de gallo and a dry sweet potato and mixed it all together)
- Meal 3: Coconut Chicken Tenders and green beans
- Snack: Cashew Cookie Lara bar
Day 6:
- Meal 1: Fried Eggs (cooked in Ghee) and Avocado
- Meal 2: 2 Coconut Chicken Tenders and an Apple with Almond Butter & Coconut
- Meal 3: Acorn Squash with Caramelized Onions, Sausage & Apple stuffing and Apples with almond butter and coconut
- Snack: Apple Pie Larabar
Picture of the Acorn Squash... SO DARN YUMMY!!!
