My husband loves red hair so he was very happy with this color. It's going to take some getting used to on my part. I keep thinking that I'm wearing a wig when I walk by a mirror but I couldn't be happier with the way the color turned out. And my stylist and I decided that this color should be called white peach instead of strawberry blonde.
After much thought and discussing it with my husband, I have decided to do another round of the Whole 30. Last time I did the Whole 30 my husband told me he didn't want me to ever do it again because of how cranky I was. I promised him that I would not complain at all this round so I'm going to try and be very positive about my experience this time. I've made this choice so every food I am not able to eat I am going to say - I am choosing not to eat that. And every food I do eat I am going to tell myself - I am choosing to eat this. Rather than thinking of all the foods I can't eat, I'll focus on the ones I am able to eat.
I didn't want to wait until August 1st to start so I started on July 31st. I wanted to start on a Sunday so I could be sure to have good meals the first day and get me started off on a good note. Last week when I decided to do another round, I ordered a variety pack of RX Bars. I'll keep one of these in my purse in case I'm out and about and I find myself hungry. Always good to have an emergency stash with you at all times.
I bought a mini bottle of Chambord for myself on Saturday to drink before I started the Whole 30 on Sunday. Well, I completely forgot about it. I remembered Sunday morning while I was cooking my first Whole 30 meal. Now, I have decided that instead it will be my treat on day 31.
Breakfast on day one was eggs, bacon and avocado. My kitchen is full stocked and I have plenty of options available.
Surprisingly, I wasn't hungry for lunch. I did snack on some Root Vegetable chips, only to find out that they are not allowed on the Whole 30. I had no idea. I thought as long as the ingredients were Whole 30 approved, they were good to eat.
In order to stay hydrated and get my water in, I squeezed some fresh grapefruit juice into my water. I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit but we had some in the house and it was actually tasty in my water.
Dinner was a baked potato with bacon and avocado with a side of pulled pork (from Costco). I'll admit, the pulled pork is much better smothered in barbecue sauce. But the baked potato was amazing!!! I will definitely be making it again.
