Today has been interesting, and I am really tired. I think it's a combination of going non-stop this weekend with preparation for the Whole 30 and a complete sugar crash today from eating clean. I feel like I could just curl up on the couch and fall fast asleep. The meals today were delicious and filling. In fact, I couldn't finish my chili at dinner. It was phenomenal but I feel so full. This could also be the water I'm trying to drink more of. However, in between meals I definitely felt low energy and weak. Trey said he felt the same way although he's muscling through and still going to the gym. It makes me nervous since this is literally Day 1, but I've been through much harder physical trials. And with having Trey at my side I know we'll get through this. I fully expect this week to be miserable.
So what did I eat today?
Breakfast - Two eggs over easy on a bed of sauteed garlic spinach with a side of homemade cinnamon applesauce. It was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time, and I'm regretting that I didn't take a photo for the blog. I will next time!
Lunch - Huge spinach salad with all sorts of crisp vegetables topped with seasoned chicken and lightly dressed with olive oil, lemon, and S&P.
Dinner - Chocolate chili with an armadillo sweet potato
I may have 1/2 a grapefruit later. I haven't met my calorie goal for today, but I just feel so stinkin' full that I may just let it go. One day under isn't a huge deal.
So, 1 day down. 29 to go.

Hello Becky. This is slightly embarrassing as I've been following your blog for quite a few years now but have never left a comment until now (originally found it through my friend/acquaintance, Kate Ellis). In the last few weeks, I've been looking into doing a cleanse to reboot my system and allow it to heal (and break addictions) from sugar, fat and salt, and other junk in our food system (have you ever watched the documentary called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead? It's an abrasive title but definitely worth watching!). When I saw your post over the weekend, I looked into Whole30, and I decided that I am going to start this program too. My Day 1 will be Wednesday. Thanks so much for posting about this and sharing your decision, which takes bravery. Best wishes to you and your husband as you work through the next 29 days! I'll be following.
Thanks for the link love! Hope you enjoyed the Armadillo Sweet Potato and that your Whole30 is going well so far.
Alicia
