Whole 30: Day 2 - Not That Different

Ok so I am saying this after completing only 2 days of Whole 30 but I am going to say it now and see if I eat my words later (are words allowed to be eaten on the Whole 30? going to have to consult my list).  So far for me eating Whole 30 has not been that different.

Before Whole 30 - I was eating 3 meals a day of real food that was mainly paleo.  Now I am eating 3 meals a day that are 100% paleo.

A lot of the reading I did before I started this journey was people saying that you need to stock up on food and they can't believe how much food they went through.  But I haven't gone through any more food then I was before.  I stocked my fridge the same as I always do on the weekend and as the week goes by the amount of food dwindles down.

There are some small changes that I have had to make to be compliant on this diet, but I don't actually even notice the difference.  Here are my changes:

• No more dried cranberries on my salad they contained added sugar
• No more store bought salad dressing that I knew I shouldn't be eating.
• No cheese on my salad or in anything I cook
• No milk in my tea
• No eating R's snacks - he is gluten free so many of these are off limits for me
• Read every label very carefully!

I did find out that I don't like my morning tea without the milk in it (used to be sweetner as well ekk!).  So I have started drinking my herbal teas in the morning and love it.  Vanilla rooibos tea is absolutely wonderful and has a beautiful hint of sweetness to it.  I am disappointed in myself that I used to add milk and honey to this tea as it is so much better without anything added.

So really no earth shattering changes to report (thus far - still looking up if eating words in on Whole 30 or not).  

Day 2 Food Log:

Breakfast  3 egg muffins and salmon/cucumber nori rolls  

Lunch: salad with chicken and home made dressing (3 ingriedents: olive oil, rice vinegar and herb de Provence soooo yummy)

Dinner:  mild Italian sausage* with steamed cauliflower and grilled beats

I emailed my little grocery store where I buy most of my food and asked them for the ingredients for the sausage, I was so happy to find out it is pork, water, salt and spices!
