Fighting the urge

…to weigh in. The whole30 guidelines say not to weigh in. My heart post holiday weekend says… Don’t weigh in.

But I want to! Sugar/carbs and weighing in are all hard addictions to quit!!!

Day Dos: Whole30

Bfast: avocado, cherry tomatoes

lunch: sweet potato, some pork, coconut chile kale w/onions (amazing—made this up today)

snack: the rest of my lunch (made to much, yay for stopping before I felt gross)

lovely little smoothie to beat the rainy day blues: watered down coconut milk and a few slivers of mango

Dindin: roasted a bird w/a cilantro mustard hot pepper concoction. One of my best chicken roasts in awhileee. Also made coconut chile kale w/mushrooms, salad (avocado, tomatoes, carrots and cranberries). 

All in all a pretty great day. Beating the sugar bug one day at a time. 

Day1: whole30

Bfast: egg, apple

Midday: grilled chicken, beets, arugula w/lemon and olive oil

snackaroo: mixed nuts (<2oz)

dindin: mini burger (2), brussel sprouts w/nitrate free bacon, onion/bell peppers and a sweet potato w/some coconut oil (DELISH). 

Exam in the AM. Gonna get lots and lots o sleep :)

The REAL Day 1 of the whole30

It was supposed to be yesterday but we had a bottle of Prosecco that was already chilled… so kill me.

Other than the sparkling beverage… yesterday was paleo-rific! Thirty days until my next drink. I think as a social 25 year old in NYC this might be the toughest part.

Post Graduation Week Detox

Graduation week, aka DRINK AS MUCH AS YOU CAN and eat everything in your face week, has come to a close. 

In response to feeling horrible in general, the boyfriend and I are going to do a whole30. Pretty excited about this. Whenever I say I feel “gross” I think it just hasn’t been as true as it is right now. We like legitimately feel ill. We weren’t on our A game before grad week hit and well… now we’re struggling. 

I’m excited. I’m looking forward to this as such a positive experience. I’ve started a whole30 before but didn’t commit because I felt like I ‘couldn’t’ do this or that and felt left out. I’m not going to forget the feeling I feel right now. I will excitedly flat out refuse and let people know “I’m getting older. I’m a doctor now,” and “I just can’t eat that junk anymore.” 

Got inspired…

Signed up for my first 10k :)

Super excited and surprisingly not too worried about it. I think the fact that its a women’s only race is what makes me a little less anxious about it. I think its going to be a fun event!
