Day 2

I'm two days in. Here's what i'm noticing so far. This is not my favourite thing to do! Day one sucked. Day two sucked even worse. That's only partially true. Day one is day one. The first day. Anything is doable the first time around. You don't know what to expect and you just do it. Day two on the other hand. That solidifies things a bit more. You are now in it. The words quit and cheat wafted through my head quite a bit today. Yet, since i'm feeling 'in it' now I've decided I want to do this well. I only want to do something this extreme once. There will never be a good time either. And since I'm in it, I'm committed. That also kind of makes me want to weep. I'm so uninspired in the kitchen and I feel like I'm out of ideas already. Ha ha. There is a groove I have yet to find. I also need to find my papers that tell me what I can and can't eat...those might come in handy. Especially since I had like 10 pieces of watermelon last night and I don't even know if I can have it or not. I meant to check today but can't find those papers anywhere. Always err on the side of caution I did not say last night.

There is a lot of thought and prep that goes into this. With two young kids that adds a whole other dimension. It is a ton easier when we can all eat the same things, and we usually did. I'm finding breakfasts and lunch tough. Dinner is dinner...it's easy to eat meat and veggies for dinner. Less so for breakfast. And snacks. It took me 40 minutes to make a snack this evening. It never used to take me that long to open up a bag of chips!

Here's the worst. Dandy Blend. Instead of my beloved aero-pressed coffee. Dandy Blend is fine if you want to drink a cup of dandy blend. But it's not coffee. It's just not. Here it is looking so deceiving.

It's only day two. I'm in the thick of withdrawals. Yet, in the midst of those withdrawals was a beautiful (almost) hot day out! We got a last minute invite to eat lunch at a friends place and dinner at another's. It was more than I knew I needed today. And despite some (a lot) of tiredness and a bit (a ton) of irritability my body is feeling good. So here's hoping we're on to something:)
