How I Felt

I had a somewhat stressful afternoon and as soon as the stressor hit, I had a headache.  After I relaxed, had big glass of water, a small handful of nuts (like 6 macadamia nuts), and a little play time with my little girl, my headache was gone.  

I feel like I'm doing surprisingly well with the whole food aspect of it.  I sure miss things sometimes, like when I see someone eating chips with their guacamole or a breakfast burrito--oh how I'd like that tortilla--but overall, it's not that bad.  We have such a huge variety of food available to us.  I still think it's funny when people hear what I'm not eating and say, "What CAN you eat?"  Like without bread and dairy there is no other food.  Yeah, sure those things taste good and it might be nice to be able to have them every once in a while.  But, if I were to not be able to have any of the foods that aren't Whole30 approved ever again, I know I could do it.  It's also getting easier to meal plan now that I'm starting to just think with approved ingredients.   It's going along... and we're past the half-way point now!  EVEN with it being the Whole31!  : )
