Day 2 of 30....

Have you ever looked in a fridge full of nutritious food only to find nothing you want to eat?
That is how I have been feeling today. I seriously was not craving anything, not even the donuts left over from my brother last night that were sitting on the counter. I have to say I was proud of myself. (little successes like this add up so be sure to praise yourself!)

I worked out this morning and normally have 1/4 cup oatmeal, a tblsp PB and scoop of chocolate  protein... not for 29 more days.... instead I had a cup of coffee with 1 tablespoon of coconut milk and a piece of watermelon pre-workout. 

 The other challenge was not being able to drink my lemon lime Xtend during my workout! I LOVE that stuff! It is processed so instead I settled for water. Ha. This is really making me feel as if maybe I do not eat as healthy and natural as I always thought! I am excited to share my successes and struggles to inspire you to join me and live a healthier lifestyle.

Breakfast-
After my workout I ate my eggies from the Hubby then starring in the fridge, undecided, (I normally have Ezekiel Toast) I settled for a spinach cabbage salad with balsamic vinegar... yes at 730am that is what i ate. I would LOVE to tell you it was so delicious...yeah no. I didn't feel like making anything & it was right there. I WILL tell you I felt a lot more energy than normal later in the morning. 

A little lot off topic: Are you ready for this?...I am in the process of potty training a 2 year old boy...  Wyatt  has been doing pretty well the past couple months sitting on the potty, having little successes here and there. This week I decided I am going to crack down and REALLY get that boy in big boy underwear since he appears ready. I sit him on the potty and he tells me in his sweet (still learning how to pronounce words) voice "no poopy mommy...go out n' pay (play)"

I then go to get changed out of my workout clothes to go play with him in his little pool. I hear my little brother yell at me. "Can you PLEASE put his diaper back on!? He is gross!"  I go to the kitchen and Travis proceeds to tell me that Wyatt pooped. I looked and he was sure enough naked but no poop in sight. I said I don't see it. Travis points to the trash can. I open it and sure enough there is a Wyatt poop in the trash.... ohmygoodness. I didn't even know what to say. I ask Wyatt about it... he says in that sweet voice... "Nooooo mommy.... that scooby's ucky poo poo." (Scooby is our 180lb Great Dane I am pretty sure he's ucky poo poo would fill up the trash can) How on earth do kids learn to be so devious and conniving at age 2? I'm still laughing.

Snack-
I snacked on cashews, watermelon, cherries and berries in no particular order.

Lunch-
I made an AWESOME tuna salad!!! 1 big can of tuna, 1 avocado, chopped onions, chopped carrots, some garlic and natures seasoning spices. I was a little sad i could not have the mayo like my boys but surprisingly it did not need any! The avocado was perfect! I put it in a lettuce wrap. This will be a staple for me from here out! Plus Wyatt LOVED it too (always a plus)!

Snack-
According to Whole30 You do not have to snack. I'm used to eating 4-6 times a day so I do. I am SO happy one of my favorite snacks is allowed to eat; A banana and Peanut butter... without the peanut butter, I used Almond butter, still delish!

Dinner-
Dinner was jalapeño chicken sausage (organic and very minimally processed) i need to double check to make sure it is legit but I pretended it was for the night. Along with brussels sprouts and yellow squash  seasoned with natures seasoning. SO good! Again... wyatt LOVED this too! We're on a roll today with the family! 

Evening snack consisted of handful almonds, decaf coffee, coconut milk & cocoa powder, was really yummy and relaxing.

Day 2 success!! Whoop!!
