Whole30 Day 1

Well yesterday I started the Whole30! So my diet no longer consists of large McDonald's Diet Cokes ( which are my favorite thing and make me so happy...I know disturbing), a bag of coke bottle gummies, a bag of chips and then a healthy dinner of chicken or beef or seafood with veggies. So YAY to me and I do love protien, veggies and fruit but that doesn't mean that it was an easy day by any stretch.
So yesterday, I woke up at 630am because the kids were up. I have a little girl S who is 3 years old and starting preschool and a little man M who is 8 months today. S always needs to eat pretty quick when we wake up so I gave her a bowl of rice crispies while I started to prepare my breakfast. I have never really been a breakfast person, this could be because I used to be a swimmer/water polo player and practice was at 630am. So eating before was never an option and sleep was more important after practice. So my first meal would come around 1030am. So for Day 1, I made myself two hard-boiled eggs (which I had prepared the night before) and some yellow pepper with a glass of water.
After breakfast we got to playing and daddy headed out for a few hours at the driving range with my Dad. For lunch I was hungry early, I think this might have to do with the fact that I didn't have enough fat for breakfast (note to self, include fat). Lunch was at 11am, I had a bunch of Turkey meat with carrots, yellow pepper and tomatoes but S and my husbands sandwiches looked super yummy and very tempting. But, I held strong and didn't have any.
At 2pm I headed to the grocery store to stock up on meat and snacks for S. I didn't intend on being there a whole hour but I did and by 3pm I was pretty hungry again. So I opened the bag of macadamia nuts that I had just purchased and had a couple handfuls. Normally, I would have been ripping into a bag of coke bottle gummies as I left the grocery store, so good for me avoiding those.
We headed to my sister's for a little bit, when I got home. The week prior had been my brother-in-laws B, birthday and we had yet to get him his gift. S was very excited to help him open it. We had recently been to the sunshine coast and visited the Farmer's Market in Sechelt. A man was selling off cuts of wood, really exotic wood. B, loves to build things and would love to have a carpentry business. So we bought him two different pieces; Plum and Coco. Hopefully he will find use for them, I can't wait to see what he makes.
On our way home from my sister's we stopped at the farm to pick up farm fresh eggs! Yummy. We are so luck to have the farms so close. We can stop by daily and pick up eggs or veggie, it's brilliant. I bought two and a half dozen because I wanted to hard-boil at least a dozen.
Once home we were in the home stretch with the kids, dinner then bedtime. So hubby started the BBQ and we had Steaks with zucchini, kuri squash and green pepper on the grill. We covered the veggie in a mango cutney we bought that only has fruit and spice in it, no added sugars. It is so yummy and super spicy. We love spice! Dinner was awesome.
We then did bedtime and zipped the kids to bed. I was so exhausted by 8pm that after I had tided the kitchen and hard-boiled my eggs I was ready for bed. I was fast asleep and sawing logs by 815pm.
The day was nice because I had my hubby home all day to help with the kids on my first day of eating properly. At about 3pm I got extremely grouchy and was very impatient with my daughter. Even though I had a snack of nuts, my mood really didn't change until bedtime. All day I craved my diet coke and gummies. I desperately wanted something sweet after dinner but I held strong and went to bed instead.
Note to self: Tomorrow try to eat something before crashing. This might help my mood and prevent me being grouchy and impatient. Also, plan on eating fat at every meal. This is something I have to think about, so I should have it organized the day before which fats I will eat with which meals. My cousin J is doing the Whole30 and she is on her 9th day. She posted a delicious sounding moroccan chicken that I think I will try tomorrow night for dinner. Already looking forward to it.
Here's to day 2!
