Whole30 Day 4

Exercise:

None. boo again.

Food: 

Breakfast / Lunch: My awesome salad ... again. Not seeming so awesome. Since I had soup for dinner last night, I used smoked salmon for my protein source and hard boiled eggs (two whites and one full). I wanted to eat the soup again (so good) but I feel like I shouldn't let the salad go to waste. So I'll be eating a salad for tomorrow as well. bah.

I took a quick bite before the pic. I was hungry.

Dinner: yeah... No lunch / snack today. Just wasn't hungry. *shrug* Dinner was left over Asian soup. I added spinach to it and had two big bowls. So good! 

Thoughts on Day 4: 

I don't know when this energy is supposed to show up but I'm pretty tired still. I read a lot on the side effects of whole30 and it seems like your body is busy digesting and therefore is tired. But I've been eating mainly paleo for my main meals for awhile (I just have a snack of cheese and alcohol). Perhaps switching to all meals this way does make my body tired. maaaybe. I honestly feel like I'm just eating my normal meals (minus soy sauce and garnishes) without my typical cheese snacks and alcohol right now. And yes that is a calorie deficet and a change in habits but I'm also sadder. And since I can't weigh myself, I have no idea if this is working or not. And I know...it's only 30 days, but it'll be 30 days of cravings. I realize I'm someone who wants things that I cannot have so perhaps this just isn't the diet for me. We'll see. I bought so much food for this, I figure I'll stick with it. hmph.

I had to work from the Starbucks today. It was pretty hard to watch all the delicious coffee mixes being made and walk past all the pasteries and goodies before ordering my black tea. In another note, I noticed that their juices are all compliant and there's a gren juice that seems to be a lot of green veggies. But I know the rules are to use juices only on meal prep. 

And then there's Halloween. It was fun to watch all the kids come to the door but it was sad to watch my husband snacking himself. I took a couple and put them away for me to eat after the 30 days. :)

We decided to do full bars this year and be that family. Hmm...so sweet candy!
