Sunday - Day 5 (really Day 1 of whole week of Whole 30)

Well, yesterday we ended up eating not that much chocolate, but way too much pizza jaja.  We did the 5k and I was kind of proud of myself for running 8 minutes straight before a walk break - then doing the rest of the race basically 3 min run, 2 min walk.  It was hot and sunny and I hadn't gone running in over a month!  We finished in about 39 min, which isn't very good, but again, we haven't run in over a month and so.  Until we get pregs again, I am going to try to run 3-4 times a week to try to get my 5k time back down to 30 min.

Anyhow, after the race, Ryan had a glass of wine, we each had a marshmallow with chocolate on it, and some Peterbrooke chocolate covered popcorn - SOOOO good!  We ordered a large pizza on the way home instead of a small and we ate the whole thing.  Then, we ate the last of our wedding cake.  So while we were on track til about 4pm... we were definitely NOT whole30 afterwards.  Today we are back on.  I guess you could say we are easing into this.  Three days, 1 meal break.  Now we are going one week, and will have two days off.  Then it's the real deal starting May 3. Eek!  Now real question - did I have a hard time eating the junk food?  Nope.  No upset tummy, though I did have a little guilt (not much though - we did agree that we would have Saturday "off" bc of the race! ;))

So back to today.  We went grocery shopping this morning and got our fruits, veggies, eggs (we went with cage free), shrimp (frozen), and chicken for the week.

Food:
Breakfast - apple and tea
Lunch - egg salad (with homemade mayo) on a lettuce leaf, carrots and guacamole, strawberries
Afternoon snack - apple and almond butter (Ryan and I shared a Larabar... he ate most of it bc I didn't like it)
Dinner - chicken and steamed broccoli, Larabar (again, shared... Ryan also ended up eating most of it bc I didn't like that one either jaja... I need to get over my pickiness I guess!), coffee with unsweetened coconut milk (not too bad!), and macadamia nuts.

My main concern at the moment is that I have barely been hitting 1000 calories a day (besides yesterday jaja - thanks pizza! ;)).  I "lost" 6 lbs in the 3 days we did the Whole 30 last week.  I doubt I will keep losing at that rate (though that would be AWESOME) but I don't think it's healthy to lose 2 lbs a day!
