Day 3 and a confession.

Here we are!!! Day 3 of the Whole30 day challenge! I feel a little lost here and there but am still excited about this new way of eating. It also helps that I am doing it with someone so we keep each other on track and setting a small goal of only 30 days.

Breakfast consisted of Eggs over medium and Brussels sprouts. Yep. Brussels sprouts for breakfast. I hate throwing away left overs so I will use them in anyway possible; to my surprise they complemented each other very well. J

My Brother (Travis), ornery little two-year-old son and I went to the zoo this morning! Aren’t they so cute?  '

I brought raw nuts for me to snack on, pitted dried prunes and an apple. Easy and portable! (Steal this idea please) Plus Wyatt had to eat some of my nuts and prunes… lead by example! Oh & yes prunes sure do work “helping” you (& little 2 year olds who eat too many) out in some areas of life where you might feel a little “clogged”.

I have a confession (dun dun dun)… I’m learning that I take mindless bites of Wyatt’s food more than I ever thought I did. For the past 3 days I have stopped myself each time (GO ME!) because my mind is set on eating ONLY whole food for these 30 days so I am conscious of what I am putting in my mouth. I am shocked at how often I have to stop myself. I can see how people have a hard time getting the baby weight off or losing those last few pounds with these unconscious actions/habits. (If this is you take note. Be aware and honest with yourself)

Just to clear it up No, My guys do not eat “bad” food by any means! My boys still eat their normal diet for the most part  (You know the stuff that’s not approved for Whole30 yet it is considered “health” food by the rest of the country) but with more veggies and raw nuts. My husband made the comment after work tonight that he is feeling really healthy lately and has more energy… hehehe don’t tell him my secrets k?

Lunch was same as yesterday! LOVE the tuna salad recipe! (Canned tuna, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, avocado, your choice seasoning ALL mixed up eaten alone or on top of lettuce leafs)

Had another apple for snack with almond butter… I am going to start measuring out how much almond butter I’m using because I think I like it a little TOO much… I mean it’s only ONE spoonful right? (Yeah I know it’s piled as high as it can be and dripping over the edge… What do you mean that’s more than one tablespoon?)

Dinner was ANOTHER success.

Grass fed beef with peppers, onions, garlic, kale, broccoli and natures seasoning.

Do you see my obsession lately? Onions and garlic! I am amazed at how much flavor they can add to dishes! It’s wonderful!  

Evening Snack is seeded raw sunflower seeds... i love them.

There is SO much running though my mind I want to talk type about but need to figure out how to organize my thoughts because this is making me tired thinking this much! If you have any suggestions or questions for me please ask away! This is my job passion in my pants and I ain’t afraid to show it! =) 

Keep yourself Healthy, Fit, and Fabulous!!
