Day 9

Today was an awful day.

First off let me say that as much as I will try to continue, I might not be able to keep up with doing this whole30 program.

The morning started out fine. I made a Greek omelet for breakfast. It had green olives, tomatoes and spinach in it. I am trying to venture out a little more. I am getting really sick of eggs. The things sounded good but the olives made the eggs taste funky. Not the best omelet I have made. Probably won’t make that again.

I read all sorts of good things on the website and even posted my first post on the forum.  I read today that you should be eating breakfast within an hour of waking up. I can’t because of the thyroid medicine I am on. I asked if it was ok or if I was ruining my whole30 try. The Moderator said it was fine.

Lunch was left over taco meat with avocado on top. I was going to buy some lettuce to put it on but I wasn’t very hungry. I think my stomach must be shrinking because my eggs really fill me up a lot in the morning. Maybe my body is just getting used to eating food like this.

I stopped at the store to get another apple as my one fruit serving of the day and got a call from my hubby saying he lost his job.

My mind immediately went from whole30 focus only to holy crap what are we going to do.

I enjoy the whole30. I know I have been complaining but it’s finally starting to get better. I don’t feel like crap anymore, I feel better, lighter and happier with my decisions. It is very expensive though. Our budget just got cut by about 40%.

I will do my best to continue this. I have 20 days left. I am 1/3 of the way through. I really want to prove to myself that I can do this. I just don’t know if I can afford it.

My sweet mother in law made dinner tonight and she made lemon chicken, lemon broccoli and salad.  I appreciate her so much! It was so kind of her to make a healthy whole30 inspired dinner.

I will do my best to share my good finds and good recipes on here still, I just don’t know what to expect. It’s all kinda up in the air right now.

Today’s challenges:

·         The entire day

·         Trying to stay with it, without the income to support it

·         Just life in general

What I learned today:

·         It’s best to share all the rules with family and friends. That way they can help you

·         Sometimes whole30 just isn’t realistic.

Whole30 fact of the day: there is a really good idea in the Well Fed cookbook called “hot plates” it’s a quick easy meal with all the different cuisines represented. You should get the book and read about them. they are awesome when you are in a time crunch
