Day 4... "cheat day"

So yesterday was my first day with absolutely no added sugar.  I did just fine, but I tracked my food and only had about 900 calories, so that's not so good.  I weighed myself this morning and I am down 6lbs since Tuesday - which must be mainly water weight as 1. it's not healthy to lose 6 lbs in 3 days and 2. my clothes don't fit any differently and I don't look any different.  Good news about that is that now I am only 2 pounds from my pre-not good situation weight so I feel less bad about myself than I did the other day.

Today we have our Wine and Chocolate 5k and I will be having some tasty delicious chocolate!  I am going to skip the wine though, and not overdo it on the chocolate.  I am also considering sharing a small pizza with my hubs for dinner along with a Whole 30 friendly salad.  Tomorrow we will go Whole 30 complete (no added sugar) for a week until Disney.. have 2 days off and then start our real Whole 30.

I talked to a co-worker about what we are doing and she thinks that it is good that we are "easing" into it - thinks that it will be easier for us to do since we will have been eating 80% whole 30 compliant for 2 weeks prior to doing the actual Whole 30 even though we will have 3 off days.

I feel fine today.  My headache seems to be completely gone.  We got an essential oil diffuser yesterday and a sample of lavender essential oil.  We had that going last night and cleaned a little this morning.

Plan for today is to plan out our food for the next week so we can go grocery shopping and be prepared for our 7 days of Whole 30.  We also attempted to make our own mayo today so make egg salad for tomorrow's lunch.  (It seems really runny, so we will see how it turns out...) We have the Wine and Chocolate 5k this afternoon at 4:30.

Next Saturday we will go shopping for our real Whole 30 before we go to Disney.  I think we will also bring Whole 30 friendly food for breakfast and snacks, and just be off for lunch and dinner.

Today's food:

Breakfast: Apple and almond butter (this, honestly, is super tasty)
Lunch: Shrimp with veggetti-ed zucchini, olive oil, garlic, and spinach
RACE = CHOCOLATE :) :) :)*
Dinner: Half a small pizza* and spinach salad

*= obviously not Whole 30, but in my defense - I will be eating much less chocolate than I would've before, and normally we each eat half a LARGE pizza, so this is a better decision for us :)
