10/60

I'm not doing great on this. But I think I have to expect this, since this weekend I'm going to a cabin and I'm not sure if and when I should say no to the food they make me...I feel like I'm constantly on this roller coaster of, I should try harder, and then I remember that this shouldn't be that important so I think why not just eat everything I want. And then I remember that it makes me happy when I'm in the groove. Like really really happy. And I see all these posts on instagram that are so inspiring and obsessive, and then I miss being obsessed and inspired. But then I eat the same meal for the 4th time, and it makes me a little quesy, and I just want something easy that tastes like sugar and fat. And it's so hard but I remember it being so easy and WTF.

And then I think, is this important? I don't have cancer, what's really important (watching so many episodes of the show parenthood has really taken an emotional toll...).

But then I think yeah but what if diet is contributing to cancer.

And it's this hamster wheel of thoughts that seem so dumb when they are out of context of my brain.

Well enough of that rant!

Last night I was packing Dove chocolates in little piles as party favor gifts. The numbers were off. So I HAD to eat two. These are the moments I wish I was stronger in. Why did I have to do that? Either way it was delicious. I'm bummed at myself. And what's worse is that I've been thinking about how good they were ALL day long. Uffta. This is a mini battle that's for sure. But the scramble I made last night was delicious, and delicious today, and it will be delicious tonight!

5/60

What a successful day! I started the day ready to get lunch at the caf, which is a huge treat in itself since I bring meatballs and an apple salad literally every day. So I naturally said no when coworkers were gong to Culvers. And then I thought to myself, do I want the way I'm eating to hold me back when I have control over it? Of course I want eating to be a priority...but have I googled options at Culvers yet? So I did. And I saw lots of comments form people about how nice Culvers people are when you ask for no bun and extra lettuce. And I found out that they don't use soy on the french fries. And I remembered that it would be easy to not get ice cream, because the bummed out part of that only lasts a couple of minutes. SO I WENT! And it was wonderful:) I got a butterburger on a bed of lettuce with extra pickles and some fries. Of course fries aren't completely Whole30, but I'm making modified decisions this round, so I decided it would be OK for me.

The workout today wasn't super great, but the trainer is new, so that's bound to happen sometimes! I still was sweatin'!

day 4/60

Holy wow, I had a tired spell this AM like no other. You know the feeling where you literally can't stay awake? Like driving when you have to pull over because you will fall asleep without control. That kept happening at work today, and I have no idea why!

The past few days I was at a training for work, and it was trying on my food intake! Breakfast was provided each morning with lines of donuts and pastries...I ate too much fruit, but at least I didn't eat anything else! Lunch was tough to deny, and it was hard not to want to snack. The training was sitting in a room for two 8 hour days, so snacking was very tempting. But I did pretty well!

I also wasn't able to workout for two days since the training was across town, which was a huge bummer. I missed it a lot. Last night I went to Yoga Sculpt to make up for it. It was SO tough. The room is so freaking hot, and the yoga cardio kicked my butt. Even though I'm pretty in shape, it's hard to do that strenuous work in humidity.

Tonight we had NomNompaleos Mcmuffins. And it was freaking fantastic. The breakfast sausage recipe that goes along with this is SO good!!! I could eat a bunch of them. !!!

day 1/60

I fell off the train. I fell off the train hard and fast. I finished a whole45, and felt like I could last forever. Then I went on vacation and ate the whole state of California. And then I found more excuses for letting loose for another week. And now I'm back to where I started. Ridiculous cravings. Impulses. I don't have one treat, I have seven. It's ridiculous. So here it is. My next attempt. Since it's summer, I'm playing around with my own plan a bit. I know it's frowned upon in the Whole30 world, but I'm going to try it. We're all different after all! I haven't done a diet that has a cheat day really before, so it's a new game. I guess my hope is that I'm well equipped with knowledge and experience now to morph the plan into something that works for me? But who knows. I'm humble enough to admit to defeat if this goes wrong.

 

But here it is!

 

60 days of Whole30, with designated "cheat days" that are pre-selected (it is wedding season after all!). On the "cheat days", I can only have 1 meal that is totally not Whole30 and alcohol at my discretion.  Alcohol is the least of my worries, so if I want to have a couple drinks on that day I'm not worried, it's not a trigger for me or anything. But no other drinks! No soda, lattes, etc. But no sugary treats at all (except my birthday). I'm nervous about this one. But I really think I can do it. And then the whole day I can be lenient on oils, butter, dressing etc. Basically I can eat out, etc without being worried about what it's cooked with.

So to simplify, cheat days:

1 cheat meal
No strict oils, dressing, sauces rules
Alcohol OK
No sugary treats

The dates are:
Saturday, June 13th - Wedding
Saturday, June 27th - Concert
Thursday, July 2nd - Birthday! (donuts allowed this day)
1 day between July 10th-12th - Portland trip (not sure which day yet)
Saturday, July 25th - Wedding
Sunday, August 2nd - Wedding

Yahoo! My meal prep is done for the week. Made a batch of meatballs and curry. I bought frozen cauliflower to make caulirice. And I also tried out buying frozen chopped onions to use in recipes! Which I'm super excited about, since I cry so much when I cut onions. And I never chop them fine enough because I'm crying so hard I can't see and don't want to chop my finger off.

Also, I got new shows :D
