Day four - Whole 30

[paragraphs]

Today was the first day I've had without ANY caffeine in ages, years, decades... okay not really true but close? I love me my ice tea (but with sweetnlow only, apparently). So today I drank water, La Croix bubbly water, and one Kombucha Gingerade (mmmm). Breakfast was... NOT THERE! I woke up late, dragged out of bed, and ended up grabbing a Lara bar (allowed! but not to be eaten every day) and some nuts for breakfast. HORRIBLE!! SO BAD!!!

Lunch: lunch was a repeat of yesterday except an apple instead of an orange. Except it was a warm apple, not a cold apple, and I like my apples cold. LOL.

Dinner: Salmon and eggs! I first had this in Cardiff at our beloved Ty Rosa (will I ever get there again? I feel so far away from there anymore). Such great memories though, yeah. That was dinner with a touch of ghee and I also had some oven-fried cubed sweet potato.

Today was pretty good, honestly. Work was good, eating was easy, I wasn't hungry at all and I felt good all day. No severe toe-stabbities today. Who knows why? Not sure. We'll see how it goes.

So, day four is done, and my sister started today. I do feel a bit dragged down but I know that I am going through a detox stage a lot of people experience 'flu-like' symptoms. Or just the blahs, lack of energy, etc. It will pass. Quickly, I hope.

Onward and upward! It is October! I have a very small writing goal to meet this month, with Nano just around the corner. I've signed up here for the mini_wrimo, setting my goal at 25k. That would be 25k more than I have the last six months put together, so I think it is a good goal.

Stepped away a bit as I had a headache - lack of caffeine, yes? SO I cleaned the kitchen and made a fabulous lunch for tomorrow. I should've taken a picture. LOL I will tomorrow.

It is super easy. Yeah it is like Paleo but just a little stricter but only for the 30 days. www.whole30.com, go check it out. Also a thread on Reddit, and nomnompaleo.com is also awesome. :)

I tried doing Paleo. I had such horrible cravings that I wound up caving. That seems like something I'd have to ease my way into to reduce the cravings.
