The halfway point has been reached...running downhill from here on out. And it feels...good.
I am still frustrated that my palate is not changing as rapidly as I would like. I also still feel that my caloric intake is pretty low since I am eating white meat, fruits, and nuts primarily. But overall, I feel better. My energy levels are up. I am happy with this adventure.
This week, since I no longer feel so tired, I started back up at the gym. I haven't been in a few months and it felt great to get back in there and take care of myself. I always feel so accomplished after the gym. Also, I am running a 5K in mid March soooooo...should probably get some track time in. Not so I can go fast...just so I don't collapse in a heap halfway through and have to watch Grandpas pass me by.
Something else I really like so far has been the recipes in the Whole30 book. I have made many of the dinners and sauces, and they are all great! Even my kids like them. This is a big thing I will carry over after our 30 days. We will be having homemade BBQ sauce and spaghetti sauce and ketchup and ranch. These sauces are pretty much how I am eating my veggies. Way better, no sugar...win win!
So now we are just counting down to Ash Wednesday, when I can start introducing things back in my diet. Dairy is first, because I miss mozzarella. Pray for me that my body still likes it!
