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
