Whole 30 - Day 6

Breakfast: eggs/spinach

Lunch: Chicken salad

Dinner: Mashed potatoes, carrots and chicken.

I know they say to go sparingly on the white potatoes, but today was really hard for me. I didn't get good sleep (when will Alexis start sleeping better?) and therefore was tired and emotional. So I CRAVED everything. I wanted cheese, tortillas, jelly, maple syrup and pancakes, etc. etc. etc. Everything I couldn't have. For me, this dinner was comfort food. So I had more mashed potatoes than carrots. It was tasty, but I still stuck to the whole30 rules and didn't cave. I wanted to so badly! I wanted to make gravy, but I didn't because it has flour in it to thicken it. I even went to my nieces bday party and I didn't have cake or anything. Clint did. I think he's fed up with the whole30 diet, but I don't care. I'm doing this for me.

However, I think we can only do this for one more week and then we have to tone it down. I went shopping on Saturday for next week's meals, and I spent $80. And I know I'm going to run out of eggs and lettuce this next week, too. I can't afford to spend $80 a week on food (I was also getting food for Jonas & Alexis since they don't eat exactly like I have been). I don't know if I'm just not doing it right or what, but I think after this week we'll readjust. We're going to talk about it and see what we can do to eat/live healthier and still stick to some of these rules but without breaking bank. I'll write more about that later.
