Day 29...holy cow I'm in the final stretch of this journey, I can't believe I'm almost finished. It's been a rather tough week trying to finish this up while my husband is out of town, this is the ultimate last test for me as it's always a long week when I'm solo and I tend to stress eat but I have been really good. My issues have been lack of sleep which is another problem I have, I tend to not sleep well when he is away and I feel that wearing on my body as my energy levels have dropped compared to earlier this week. I'm learning how important sleep really is for the body and what a difference it can make on your daily energy levels, even though it's been a month I'm always learning something new each day and this is a journey beyond 30 days.
It was a busy day running errands and going to appointments. I did surprise my girls for lunch at their school which was nice since I haven't had lunch with them in a few weeks. I was very proud of my self for buying healthy snacks to bring along with me instead of junk or something that was not good for me. Overall I had a great nutritional day and I stayed strong, even after my two cravings. Lindsey came home and opened a bag of potato chips and I absolutely love chips any kind all the time so that was very hard for me but I didn't cave in. Then for dessert my girls wanted sliced apples with Nutella drizzled on top with shredded coconut and chocolate chips, well my mouth was watering when I was working with the Nutella the smell of it was so delicious I could taste it. I had it all over my fingers but not a lick...that is so not like me. I usually lick my fingers and the spoon clean but I didn't want to throw away of what I have worked for so I washed my hands and the spoon and ate an orange instead. Yes I still wanted something sweet but a natural sweet and it did the job, my cravings were done after that.
No workout for me today as I just ran out of time after all my errands were done and seeing the girls by the time I got home and prepared dinner the girls were home. Not working out is tough as it does give the little extra boost of energy so I will be happy when I can get some actual sleep so I can get back to working out on a regular bases and hopefully this rain will go away.
Non-Scale Victories
- I did have cravings today but didn't give in, ended up having fruit to help with that.
- Met my girls for lunch and brought my own healthy snacks that were W30 compliant
- Dealing with stress is hard for me but not using food to comfort be is a big step.
WHOLE30 DAY 29 COMPLETE...
