First day is underway, and for the most part, going well. It's been a little anti-climatic but that is better than overly surprising! We've been pretty busy, which I think is also a good thing as it's kept my mind off of food.
So the different thing about Whole 30 is that you have 3 meals a day, but they aren't specifically breakfast, lunch, dinner. You can eat anything at any time. So for today, we've had the following:
- Meal 1 (Breakfast): Fried eggs and sliced avocado
- Snack: We were picking up a few things at Whole Foods, and found two bars that were allowed: Epic bars (kind of like jerky) and Rx Bars. Our plan is that these are only for emergencies, but we did sample one of each between the three of us.
- Meal 2 (Lunch): Baked Sweet Potatoes. Dennis had his with chicken, and Lucia and I had ours with diced apples, blueberries and walnuts along with a dash of almond/coconut creamer. Holy cow that was tasty!
- Snack: Melon with Prosciutto, veggies and fruit
- Meal 3 (Dinner): Chicken, Butternut Squash and Onions
We had a few temptations at a high school open house we attended and then at a friend's house we stopped by at, but we were able to make compliant choices!
Right now my head is killing me. I mean, every ounce of my body is screaming for a large cup of coffee and something sugary. But I took 3 Tylenol instead, and had a quarter of an apple. I'm pretty tired out too, so I think it will be an early night to bed for all of us.
In regard to my other goals, I went to church today and definitely got in my prayer and quiet time. Still need to fit in some reading. I took a tour of a high school with Lucia which was over 90 minutes of walking, so I will count that toward my exercise for today!
See you tomorrow!

Great job! It will get easier as you go along, I'm sure. We follow the Paleo diet and are very happy. Plus, I would kill someone if I couldn't have coffee!
