Day 10

One-third of the way there!!!!!

I only have 20 days left of my Whole30!
That certainly does not mean that I will stop eating healthy and go back to the way things were.
I felt terrible!

But I'm feeling pretty great now (aside from a little difficulty sleeping - which is probably attributed to staying up a little too late watching tv)

I'm settling into a routine of making good choices.
Breakfast is easy. Since I wasn't a breakfast person from the start, adding a little something with protein was pretty simple - and I don't feel deprived by the new choices because I usually didn't have anything at all that early in the day.

Lunch is lunch... usually not terribly exciting, but well planned.
Today I made lettuce wraps with turkey, avocado, spinach, olive oil, and big pieces of iceberg lettuce.

Dinner is an interesting time - sometimes I want to cook and other times, I don't really have too much of an opinion about it.
I wasn't even ready to eat when I got home.
I didn't head to the kitchen until 8:00ish tonight - I just wasn't hungry.

But I knew I needed to put something in my stomach.
Eggs, bacon, and an apple with some almond butter.

The healthy choices are tasty and delicious - but the difference is my mind is not freaking out about when I'm going to eat next, what I'm going to eat, what I could be eating, etc.

Wow.

I just realized how much more brain power I have just by working to eliminate this obsession with food.
It's like there's so much more room in my mind to think about other things - like I've cleared out a bunch of files that were outdated and irrelevant. And with that new space, I can work on other things.

Or even relax.

For me, I think Whole30 is not only cleansing my body, but cleansing my mind as well.

Let's consider Day 10 refreshing.
