Whole30 Day 2 Recap

Well folks I survived another day without Diet Coke or any of the other crutch foods I had built into my daily habit. Day 2 was easier for me than day 1 but I feel like it was an emotional roller coaster. One minute I'm happy and feeling confident and then I think about wanting a diet pop or stick of gum and get irrationally angry that I can't have it. I think the reality is that I'm irrationally angry by how I let toxic chemicals become such a source of comfort. It helps a lot to have others going through this with me. There are three of us on day 3, two on day 2 and one starting today. I think it will be nice for us to have perspective from those who have already been through a day or feeling to share with those just entering that day.

Breakfast - egg scramble with pork sausage, mushrooms, salsa, spaghetti squash, guacamole

Lunch - pork carnitas, sweet potato, fajita veggies, salsa, guacamole

Snack - broccoli, pork sausage link, guac, hard boiled egg (I like weird food combinations mixed up in a bowl)

Dinner - meatballs, spaghetti sauce, spaghetti squash, side salad with Italian vinaigrette

Beverages - 3 liters sparkling water, coffee, tea

Dustin and I reconized today that we need to unite as allies if we're going to get through this portion of the Whole 30. We had a really good talk and agreed to assume the best of the other person and be really transparent with struggles so we don't assume the other person is thinking something they are not.

So far I'm still glad that I'm doing the Whole30 and look forward to getting through this initial difficult period.
