Whole30 Week 1 - Thoughts

I'm on day 8 now and I'm feeling pretty good.

Week 1 Takeaways:
Crunchy, Salted Almond Butter
  • Almond butter is DELICIOUS. Why hadn't I tried it before?? Trader Joe's has a good price.
  • Sweet potato toast has potential but I haven't figured out the best way to do it yet. It's too hard (yuck) or gets stuck in the super hot toaster (ouch).
  • Going out to eat is hard. I decided I don't care if there are hidden no-no's in my entree. I don't want to question every single detail of a menu item only to find out that I can't eat anything at all. 
  • I feel skinnier.
  • I don't crave anything in particular but I do miss having easier options. Although my husband toasted a bagel the other day and it smelled SO GOOD.
  • I feel like I'm eating too much meat and miss tofu and chickpeas as good protein options.
  • I haven't done any big meal planning for this week but I still have compliant proteins, veggies, and other things on hand. I'm going out to eat tonight with a friend but there's a paleo option on the menu, and tomorrow we're going to try broiling a flank steak.
