Today was slightly better than the past 2 days. I did not have a headache today. My adverse physical symptoms usually start around 2 p.m., which is interesting because my sugar cravings usually start around that time each day. Of course, except for the past 3 days, I usually give into them.
I was, however, thoroughly exhausted today. My eyes were burning, and I had many thoughts of going to bed. I'm sure some of it was the fact I got home at 1:15 a.m. from the baseball game, but still.
Speaking of the baseball game, I stuck to it! I had a hot dog (without the bun), water, snap peas, and almonds. And a Larabar. I'll save the Larabar story for last.
So here we go.
7:00 - Pumping session #1. Not really hungry.
7:30 - Fried 2 eggs, 2 pieces of ham, and made a banana-blueberry-almond butter-coconut milk smoothie. Yummy!
7:45 - Packed my food for the morning/lunch. "Man, this takes a while." Salad stuff, hard boiled eggs, almonds...
8:00 - Pick up Emma, head to a garage sale.
10:00 - Interesting, not too hungry.
11:00 - Ok, I'm hungry. Salad time. I kinda look forward to my loaded salads with lemon juice.
2:00 - Hungry again, but hey, not feeling too shabby yet. Apples and carrots with almond butter.
4:00 - Time to make dinner. Spaghetti's on the menu, so of course, I have to avoid the pasta. I go for spaghetti squash instead. I had it before and liked it! (I didn't even taste the noodles to see if they were done. I figure if I have to suffer, my family can eat some crunchy noodles if need be. Luckily, I think they were done because everyone cleaned their plate).
5:00 - Problemo uno: It took long enough to cook that I got nervous I'd have nothing to eat. Problemo dos: You can't surround an Italian girl with pasta and force her to eat spaghetti squash instead. It's just not the same. In fact, it's not even close when everyone else is slurping up those beautiful, white, squishy spaghetti noodles. Getting sad now.
5:30 - "Mom, can we have ice cream?" The other day I said, "No," mainly because I couldn't take the temptation. Today, I decided to face my fears. Guys, it was bad. It took everything in me to not lick the spoon or my fingers, but I did it. Definitely feeling more sad. I guess I'll have a Larabar.
Thank goodness for Larabars! These little packages are stuffed full of Whole30 goodness, especially when the cravings get rough. I've had them before, but only the chocolate and/or peanut butter kinds. Today, I found SIX varieties that are safe to eat. My friend said she only eats 1/2 at a time. That's some crazy willpower, cause I have to stop myself from inhaling them. Who knew dates could be so delicious?!
Present time: I'm hungry. There's absolutely nothing I want to eat. So they say I must not really be hungry. I must just be craving things I can't or shouldn't have. I should drink some water. I'm not even thirsty. Bummer. They say the hangover feeling starts to wane on day 4. Here's hoping...
