New room box - partially finished. This is going to be a tropical vacation bedroom patterned after something I found on Pinterest.
It's probably a third of the way done - and I'm a third of the way through Whole 30 and still wondering what all the hype is about.
Today I had cheese.
And I'm not sorry. I didn't plan to 'cheat' - but my daughter bought me a salad from Panera. Pecan Apple Chicken Salad, which I love. Which I also forgot contains small crumbles of bleu cheese. [Remember my dream? I guess it was prophetic - but in the dream I felt bad about having eaten the cheese, and in real life I don't]. I was starving, and I wasn't about to throw the salad away or stuff it back in the fridge and hope someone else would eat it before it went bad, and I wasn't about to try to remove tiny little bleu cheese crumbles. So I scarfed it down like I'd been stuck on a desert island for a month. It was heaven.
The rest of the afternoon I spent craving bacon, so I made bacon and eggs for dinner. It was great.
So far, I really miss coffee. I don't think I'm getting enough protein [choked down a hard boiled egg with breakfast. It was awful. I can't eat eggs for breakfast.] I don't think I'm getting enough fat. [Hence the bacon.] I'm tired of having headaches. I didn't used to get frequent headaches before this. According to my research days 10 and 11 are the hardest. So if I can make it to day 12 I'm doing well. Hopefully by then I'll be feeling more like I'm detoxing rather than just arbitrarily depriving myself of food that I like that actually gives the me energy to get through the day.
Do I want to quit? God, yes.
Am I going to? No. Not yet. I really want to be able to see how I feel on Day 30 and if I don't feel utterly refreshed and fantastic by then I'll be able to truthfully say that I've tried everything and I've earned the right to eat whatever I want whenever I want. That's sort of what I'm in it for now - for how good it's going to feel to be done with it.
