Taking Charge!

Once again, it's been quite some time since I've posted last.  I do plan on posting much more often now, as I will need to have an outsource.  I've decided to join the bandwagon, and participate in the Whole30 diet.  This is HUGE for me, as my daily diet has gotten way off track, and is anything but healthy.  I have gained so much weight and overall, just don't feel good.  Body image is bad, physical feeling is bad.  I've got to do something, and NOW.  I am not expecting to stay on the whole 30 forever, but I am hoping that it will help me jumpstart healthy eating, and teach me to think about food differently.  Oh yeah, and to lose a little bit of weight in the process.

Figuring out what to eat, and not getting bored, will be challenging.  There are many resources online, and I'm looking into them.  I've also found a very helpful Facebook group.  Have already found lots of ideas from there.

So today is DAY 1

Breakfast:  2 hardfried eggs, seasoned with salt and pepper, 1 small banana, 1 half an avacado, and 1 radish (only for some crunch).  I also had a cup of hot green tea.  Unsweetened, of course!

Breakfast was good, and filling, though an hour later my cravings started up.  I would have killed for a doughnut!  I stayed true, as I know it was probably all in my head!

Lunch:  1 clementine, brussel sprouts and 6 shrimp.  I cooked the brusselsprouts and the shrimp in the oven, together.   I drizzled with olive oil, and seasoned with salt, pepper, parsley, and some chili powder.  Squeezed a bit of a lime overtop before I ate.  DELICIOUS!

I did what I don't want to do, and planned my lunch as I was grocery shopping.  But I'm new to this, and there's a lot to learn.  I need to do more research and be creative with my meals.  I hope to post here every day on what I eat!

Until tomorrow!
