Day 4...only 26 more to go.
Oddly enough, I do not miss many things I thought I would. Coke already doesn't sound good. I am not missing fast food or pizza very much. I don't miss dairy at all. The only thing I really have craved is chocolate.
More than the food choices themselves, it is the food prep that is difficult. It takes a ton of planning to keep enough compliant food prepped for Brent and I (and food for 5 kids) so that we don't reach for something we shouldn't. Prepping fresh ingredients is more work and it holds for less time than store bought. So every other day it seems like I am spending an afternoon in the kitchen planning and prepping. And the day I don't spend in the kitchen, I am running to the grocery store. BUT...I think this part will get easier. I think my system will streamline as we figure out what works and what doesnt.
It doesn't help that I am tired and don't feel like cooking. Letting go off my precious carbs and Baby Girl teething all night have combined to create a very tired Mama. I am anxiously awaiting the day where they say all your energy comes back - bring it on!
