Day 1

Started the day excited.  I woke up early and made a 3 egg omelet with some frozen Asian stir-fry veggies (broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, peppers).  It was delicious.  I like these anyway but normally make mine with boxed egg whites and smaller.  I followed the guidelines and went with 3 eggs since I knew I wouldn't be snacking at all today.  I also drank one cup of black coffee! Not my favorite but doable.  I was satisfied and full.

After breakfast we headed to North Georgia where we picked up our new puppy, Bush.  He is a 6 week old Golden Retriever.  So sweet and cute.
For lunch I had wild caught salmon and frozen cauliflower.  This was what we had in the house since I hadn't gone shopping yet.  It was good.  Drank water.

Finally it was time to go grocery shopping.  I used the list by The Clothes Make the Girl blog on week 1.  I had most of the meat already but needed to stock up on veggies and some other staples.  I also followed her week 1 prep plan.  I cooked Chocolate chili, several chicken breasts, a few sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash (for the first time ever!), and Joey cooked a beer can chicken.  There is a Boston butt in the slow-cooker as well.  I think we may be eating this food forever but it smells delicious.  I even made homemade mayo that is Whole 30 compliant.  It is amazing...except that I cut my finger terribly on the blender.  Rookie!!

For dinner we had beer can chicken (without the skin) topped with mango and avocado, a tiny sweet potato, broccoli, and spaghetti squash.  Everything was compliant.  I am finishing the day with water with a squeeze of real lemon juice to mix it up.

I was proud of myself but I do think the wine is going to be what I miss most.  I am in it though.  I did weigh this morning.  (135.8)  No more of that for the next 30 days!  No exercise today but I plan to add that as well 4 days a week.  The only thing I need to work on is drinking more water.  Room for improvement but very happy with day 1.

Will do before photos soon...probably won't post but we will see:)
