Today was very different. I woke up early with Wayne to help him get ready for work. I realized that my emotions yesterday were completely fed by food and the nasty cravings that go with them. I hated yesterday so much. I felt so out of control all day which is a very hard way for me to feel. I realized how much food and chemicals still have a hold on me and the deep connection they share.
This morning Wayne started a pot of coffee. As usual we both went up stairs to our office and get on our computers for a few minutes. I realized something, I don't crave hot coffee anymore. The idea of drinking it makes feel weighed down. What I do still crave is the comfort that sitting with a hot cup of coffee brings. The idea of coffee and comfort. Today I decided to find comfort in my scrambled eggs and bacon instead.
I didn't have any appointments today so I was at home doing all of those cleaning chores. Vacuuming, dusting, laundry, and picking up the house. Today I started to understand the difference between a craving and what true hunger was and I am so glad I figured it out. I was truly hungry at 12:30 and made a salad with chicken and had some boiled eggs.
My cold is gone and it was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a 3.5 mile run on the tickle creek trail near our house. Spring is upon us for sure. It was so nice to be outside in the warm air.
My typical time running this trail is 36 minutes. I finished in 40. Not bad for this new diet and not running this distance for a couple if months.
Wayne was home early from work so I grabbed an apple and we beaded to the dog park. For dinner I made an amazing red Thai curry with chicken and pineapple with veggies.
I noticed today that I didn't spend very much time thinking about food and what I am not allowed to have. I guess days like yesterday are necessary. I am starting to feel really good. My digestion is doing awesome and I am not craving many things like before. Tomorrow will be 1 whole week on the whole30!
