Seriously. This is getting real. Day Twelve is coming to a close and I can't wait to just go to bed. I had to keep myself busy this afternoon with cooking. I wanted wine. Like I really wanted some wine. So I made BBQ sauce instead. I'm just thinking of crawling into bed and reading my book. The energy needs to hit me. Soon.

Week two begins. And we are ready.

I started off the morning feeling pretty good. No carb flu feeling, yet. Made this breakfast casserole yesterday so I can enjoy easy breakfasts with limited amount of clean up all week. Naturally, Sunil know wants to have it too (since he realized how good it is with a little Frank's Red Hot drizzled on top).  Without my usual Diet Dr. Pepper to use as a mid-morning stimulant, I'm happy to say I have found the joy - warm-in-your-hands joy - of Teavana Jade Mint Citrus Green Tea. And they even sell it at Starbucks! Yep, this single tea has turned me into one of 'those people' sitting with my work computer at Starbucks.  Flash forward to tonight. I was still feeling pretty good. No headache, no grogginess. Energy was there. So I decided to take on a recipe I'd planned for later in the week and swap it with one of the pre-made ones from yesterday. I figure there's a good chance the carb flu is coming. It's just been caught in January Whole30 traff

131.6 lbs (back in June I had gotten myself down to 122, so this was sobering to realize). Spent my entire day off grocery shopping, batch cooking, and cleaning. There is still so much cleaning left to do, but it'll have to wait. The most enjoyable thing today was walking around the grocery store, alone, with my green tea warm in my hand. For over an hour. The next most enjoyable thing is seeing how clean my kitchen looks. And that fridge full of only compliant things. On repeat in my brain: It's only 30 days. I can do this. It's only 30 days...

My meal plan for Whole30 2017. Round one. Week one.
