Day 8: One Week Down...Three To Go!

Dear readers, (all 6 of you) I apologize for not posting yesterday... I was lazy and tired and I failed you. Forgive me... or don't. No matter, I will keep posting when I have time. Speaking of time, I am starting my second year of grad school next Wednesday so posts may begin to be shorter and more sporadic. Hang in there with me though.

Snack time <3

Alright, so yesterday I hit the one week mark! I would say the first week was the hardest... I am not sure if it
was the change in diet or change in my life that caused it, but my stomach was all over the place for the first 3 or 4 days. It's gotten a lot better over the last few days, but what's still really hard is eating. That sounds weird but I honestly have to force myself to consume breakfast still! What is that? I think it might be that I am eating too late. Since I am not starving throughout the day I will almost forget to eat and that's bad. I am doing 100 million other things and then I look at the clock and its 7:30 at night and I haven't even started cooking dinner. Another side effect of eating too late are these crazy vivid dreams I've been having. Not all of them are bad, but I wake up remembering them almost to a tee. It's very strange...

Hokay, so I pretty much had ground turkey and leftover cauliflower rice for two meals yesterday. With some added green chile, which I am very pleased is Whole30 approved. It feeds the New Mexican inside of me. Leave all jokes about that one at the door please. Plus, HEB (the TX supermarket) has Hatch green chile everywhere right now. And it's cheap. Like 78 cents a pound or something like that. I need to cook some green chile chicken stew with approved ingredients. I'll get right on that.

Freezer section at Costco

I went to COSTCO yesterday and bought like 15 pounds of meat. Haha. My freezer seriously looks like a mini meat market. I bought sockeye salmon, pork loins, ground beef, chicken breasts, ground turkey, and a small child. Kidding on that last one. Obviously. Needless to say I am set for at least 2 weeks! Protein, protein, protein baby. I made the sockeye salmon with an olive oil, lemon, and dill sauce on top. Came out pretty tasty. I had that for dinner last night with some leftover sweet potatoes. I also splurged and bought a big ass container of cashews. Mmmm mmmm. Gotta love me some cashews!
