Day 4: Kill All The Things

Day 4: Kill All The Things

I woke up with a KILLER headache this morning and was sure the Hangover Phase was just hitting me a day late, but I made my coffee, ate extra protein for breakfast, drank a couple glasses of water, and within a couple hours the headache was gone. The rest of the day has been GREAT!

One of the people on my forum said that she really really wanted to step on the scale because she's sure she's lost weight, but she didn't. I understand the feeling. That has been one of the harder things for me. I'm a scalaholic. I weigh myself every day even when I'm not on a diet. I guess I just like to kick myself when I'm down. Guess that wasn't a very good thing. 

 

So, my scale is locked away in my closet, but I do feel lighter. I know that sounds silly, and if I did weigh myself it would probably only be a pound or two different--maybe nothing, but it is what it is. I do feel lighter. I'll take it.

I made some turkey burgers for dinner today. The texture was a little strange using almond flour instead of bread crumbs, but it was by far the most flavorful turkey burger I've ever made. Here's a link to the recipe.  I didn't have any coconut, so mine weren't coated.

 We finally got our garage delivered today. We have been working on this for months. Today was a beautiful day-mid 70s, gentle breeze. I sat on the deck this morning, drinking my coffee, doing some school work, and watching them build our garage. The small of fresh lumber, the sound of hammers...it was wonderful, and I didn't want to kill anyone or anything today.  Of course tomorrow is Kill All the Things, Part II. We'll see how that goes.

I ended the day by playing an online version of Cards Against Humanity with my family. What a great way to stay connected across the miles. I didn't spend as much time in the kitchen as I had planned today, but I did get my crazy plastics and baking tools cupboard cleaned out so I don't have to duck every time I open the door. I have to do some cooking/freezing tomorrow, though. I still have a lot of produce in my fridge that I don't want to go to waste. I WAY overbought for this first week. I was too afraid of not having enough to eat! HA!

Tomorrow is my last real day of summer vacation. :-( It's been a great summer, but always flies by. I'm really excited that several other teachers are going to start their Whole30 because of me talking about it. It makes me feel good that I could spread the excitement, and it will really help having a bigger support group.

On to bed and getting ready to face Kill All the Things Day 2.
