Whole 30 Progress Report (days 1-3)

"Spaghetti" with Zucchini Noodles
I got this... I think. Jumping in with both feet is easy, sticking the landing is the hard part.

Meals have been easy, we've already been eating this way! Snacking has been a major roadblock! Making my son's PB&Honey on gluten free bread and resisting the habit of licking my fingers! 

Days 1-3 probably were the worst of my sugar cravings. I kept the sugar monster at bay by drinking more water and eating fruit (which you're really not supposed to do on Whole30). Fruit is to be limited to about two servings a day and eaten with a meal. I probably ate 2-3 servings and not always with a meal. 

Here's what my meals looked like:
Day One
Breakfast
•Egg Muffin
•Black Coffee
•Blueberries

Lunch
•Porkchop (leftovers!)
• Carrots

Snack
•Nectarine (whole30 snacks are supposed to be mini meals, I haven't accomplished that yet. 

Dinner
•"Spaghetti" with Zucchini Noodles

Tritip with Brussels Sprouts
Day Two
Breakfast was the same as day one!

Lunch
•Leftover "Spaghetti" with Zucchini Noodles

Snack
•Handful of mixed nuts

Dinner
•Tritip
•Brussels Sprouts

I'm sure your starting to see a pattern without posting my entire menu. Leftovers make great lunches!! I'm sure my snacks are not perfect for Whole30, but they are approved foods and work for this Mom of one.
