Whole 30-Days 6-10
6:58 PM
Day 6:
Didn't sleep great last night.
Woke up feeling good. Stomach was "in" <---That's a term I started using in high school for times I would wake up and not be bloated. Your stomach is "in" and I wish it would stay like that all day…but usually by the time I take a shower it's back "out" again.
Still have some pain in the lower left-hand side of my stomach.
I broke a rule! I weighed myself and guess what…GAINED 0.5 lbs. SO FREAKIN ANNOYING.
Note to all who are doing this: I know better. Don't weigh yourself. I know at the end of the 30 days I will have lost weight. It's just not coming as fast as I'd like <--story of my damn life
Day 7
Went out to dinner with old friends. The food part wasn't hard. I really believe that you can find food that is acceptable anywhere you go. It's not always the quality you'd like or the same as you would have at home but I don't see any reason this needs to inhibit your life.

PS. They were drinking sangria and since we were always usually drinking when we used to hang out I really wanted a drink as well. I really wanted to drink with them but after they got about 1 drink in and I had my ice water, I was fine. I think it's the initial thought of, "Everyone is drinking and I'm not."
Day 8
Woke up, again, with that pain in my lower left stomach. Really wish I knew more about that.
Other than that feeling really good, clean and lighter. I know I'm not actually a lot lighter but I think that having all that bloating and inflammation gone/going away makes me feel really good. My nails are getting stronger, I can feel them. (Sidenote: They always grow faster on my left hand. Weird?)
Also, I'm eating too much meat and not enough veggies. Need to go shopping today.
I had a dream I was eating tortilla chips <-- Seriously?! Seriously

| I know the OJ isn't a great idea. I only had a few sips and threw a lot away. |

| I brought these for a friend who just had a baby. Why do I torture myself? |
Day 9
The newness has worn off. Not really that excited to drink my coffee black this morning. Need to shop and when I don't have any food it makes eating way more difficult.

| Totally overcooked my salmon...bad move |
Day 10
Noticing that I get hungry/snack attack right around 3:30-4 pm every single day. Interesting. I never noticed that before.
Today around 4 pm I ate a crazy lot of food:
- Banana with almond butter
- Paleo Cake in a Mug-I know! I know! Super strict Whole30ers…this is not technically compliant because you can't make unhealthy food and paleoify it. I did it anyway. It was great. It still contained all of the acceptable items but I know I did break a rule. So if this is your first Whole30, don't do that.
- Chicken, avacado, cilantro <--I am definitely allergic to either avocado or cilantro…one of these days I'm going to do a test to figure out which one.
Now, it's 6:23 pm, totally not hungry. Done eating for the night but if I wasn't doing a Whole30, I'd be eating popcorn.
Overall Feeling: Eh...I'm just eh. I'm not full of energy. I feel fine. My allergies are still kinda here. I don't feel bad but I don't feel fabulous.
Biggest Thing I'm Missing: Coffee with something in it. Morning is my favorite time and I think it's because I love my coffee so much. Anything in it would be better than nothing. Will to have just almond milk but def need something when this is over.
Body Observations: My shorts were looser today but that might be because I've worn them twice now. Don't judge me.
Mind Observations: I actually feel like I was a little negative today. I don't think it had to do with the Whole30 but I thought I'd tell you anyway.
Favorite Snack: Strawberries and pineapple. I had blueberries today. I don't really think blueberries have a taste, do you?
Best Recipe I've Tried: The freakin' Mug Cake ok? I'm not putting a link here because I don't want you super good Whole30ers (which I DEF think you should be if this is your first time) to make it.
