Day ONE

Didn't turn out so fantastic... But it was intentional. What happened was, yesterday was our anniversary. What have I been telling Jason I wanted for MONTHS? French macaroons!! And I got them. No, I was not going to let them sit for 21 days without eating them. So today is a little more of day one than yesterday. Althought, that was the ONLY sugar I had yesterday. So I'll tell you a little bit about the rest of the day. 

Woke up yesterday and Jason was off work. We made some bacon and eggs for breakfast which is not too hard to eat! I also made myself a smoothie with a green banana, pure almond butter, and almond milk. Also delicious. I did a friends hair after that so the rest of the morning was easy and I didn't think about food. Until we made the trip to whole foods to get some last minute things. I don't know what the whole foods by you is like, but the one by me is incredible. The bakery!!! The pastrys, the cookies, the gelato!!! I started to crave it. I almost started getting nauseous I wanted it so bad. I just kept my mouth shut and remembered I was getting macaroons. Jason had a good laugh at me and we left. I became a crab! I was highly irritated with the kids and Jason because I wanted a stupid cookie. Luckily, I got my macaroon. Immediately felt better. Then about an hour later, STARVING! Ate some leftovers from moes, which was on the "yes" list. Felt a little better but soon after started needing sugar again. I find myself walking around my house looking for food to "fix" it and get crabbier and crabbier. I don't think it was my body wanting it so much as habbit right now. I'm a bit terrified as to how to today will go with NOTHING. For dinner we made steaks with zucchini noodles(incredibly delicious) and asparagus. Couldn't eat it all. For sure more filling than pasta. The rest of the night I just tried to ignore the craving and ate a small square of 85% dark cocoa. Also on the yes list. Then went to bed because I couldn't stop thinking about those macaroons! Believe me, Pinterest is maybe going on pause for a few weeks! Anyways, for what I did accomplish yesterday, it wasn't too bad as far as hunger goes. Eating more protein really does fill you up! As soon as I ate the cookies, I was starving an hour later. It's so crazy when you really pay attention to your body. The habbit of eating something sweet a few times a day is going to be hard. Can't exactly be a complete crab all day with two kids!! Alrighty, well I'm off to start my day with ZERO sugar! Wish me luck! I'll try and post tonight.
