I've decided to blog - hey, hi, hello. The purpose of this blog will be, at the outset, to document my WHOLE 30 experience. My blog begins on Day 14. Valentine's Day. I awoke this morning from another night of cheat dreams. Dreams about chocolate. I dreamed I got half way through a GIANT five layer piece of chocolate cake with layers of milk chocolate mousse and dark chocolate mousse and fudge. It was delicious. When suddenly I remembered I was cheating on my WHOLE 30 diet. I then put half of the cake in my freezer for March 2nd. March 2nd is day 31 when I eat ALL OF THE THINGS. In real life, right now, there are 4 boxes of girl scout cookies and a small heart shaped Dove dark chocolate in my freezer. But - back to my dream: I then go to CVS where I am shopping for dark chocolate covered goldfish... huh? These don't exist. However, they should exist. I actually don't even like goldfish. Right now they are kind of all I can think about. But they must have chocolate on them.
I guess these craving are pretty typical. People report strong cravings that rival those of a pregnant woman. Cravings for things you DON'T EVEN LIKE (like goldfish). I think if I had laid off the sugar in weeks 1 and 2 I may have surpassed this stage by now. I'd get cravings for sweet so then I would eat almond rolled dates. I have since cut the crap with the dates and figs but I definitely am still eating too much fruit.
Ok, so there is some good happening: 1. My PR's. It is shocking how quickly your body says "thank you" when you start eating clean. Better weight at the gym, better beast-out ability. 2. My skin. Less black heads in my problem areas 3. My energy. Seems to be more even during the day except I need, and do GET, my 8 hours.
Oh, and I'll have you know that I came in this morning to cacao roasted almonds on my desk in a valentine's day gift box. No added sugar. Kindest. Gift. Ever.
