Breakfast- Coffee, Water, Half Banana Went to Boosterthon run... left Boosterthon run with a really upset stomach towards the end.
Lunch- I grazed today. It was very busy and long and I didn't want to eat too much and then run out of food. I had an apple with almond butter, then a hard boiled egg, then an avacado, and a Clementines and more apple slices at the end of the day. It worked. Sipped on citrus infused water all day.
Dinner- Chicken sausage, small steak, and broiled red potatoes with coconut oil and salt and pepper. With plenty for lunch tomorrow! And a good salad!
La Croix and tons of water today. I'm so tired. My son and I both fell asleep at about 5pm when we got home from school. Feel like my body is fighting trying not to get sick. One more work day til Spring Break!
Today I'm so thankful for encouraging words from my husband and friends. I appreciate the support!!!
Blood sugar was 80 when I woke up. Solid! Stayed good all day.

Whole30 Day 11
Breakfast- Coffee and fruit bowl
Lunch- LeeRoy Selmons with my hubby. Blackened salmon and steamed brocolli, water, La Croix
Dinner- Leftover chicken and veggies stirfry and some walnuts later on.
Snacks- Fruit smoothie (Banana, Spinach, Coconut milk, ice, strawberries, manogos) before bed. Woke up at 80 which was nice.
Dealing with anxiety again. Set doctors appt. Hopefully she'll help me sort this all out. Feel really good.physically... but mentally and emotionally I'm struggling and working through the whys of that.
This way of eating is hard. But it is also better than what I was doing. My family is semi eating along with me and I know they've had more GOOD foods put in their bodies than in the past. I'm happy for that.
Super duper excited for Spring Break and Easter. I love Easter.

Whole30 Day 10
It's day 10 and I'm officially bored. I need something fun to eat. Headed to Pinterest right after this.
I took my daughter to get a Blizzard after school because she was so cute and I knew her brother was enjoying ice cream too with the friend he went home to play with. When the lady opened the drive through window and the smell of ice cream toppings came in the car I wanted to eat a large Blizzard and possibly also 17 Snickers bars. But instead... I handed Zoe her magnificent Butterfinger Blizzard and drove away. Then she asked me if I wanted a bite and I said, "You are so sweet. But Mommy wants to really stick to her commitment and eat only the things that are good for me." And she said... "Cool, Mom. You can have an avacado or something when we get home." I could have smacked the cute right off her face. HAHA! I love her.
Today I miss Diet Coke. That chemical filled cancer causing sweet necter of Satan. I miss it.
Breakfast- Fresh berries and egg and veggie bake, coffee, water
Lunch- Spaghetti Squash Primavera. Even better the next day. I'm obsessed with curry seasoning.
Dinner: Chicken and veggie sautee and salad
Snacks: La Croix, green apple slices, frozen mango, strawberries

Whole30- Day 9
Breakfast- Made fresh eggs and veggies and coffee. Monday is my day off. It was nice to wake up slow.
Lunch- Green Apple with almond butter. Was doing work and rushing to get shopping done. It worked.
Dinner: Spaghetti Squash Primavera. It was amazing. Roasted two spaghetti squashes.... made sauteed chicken, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers in a cast iron with coconut oil and a little garlic powder, salt and pepper, and curry powder. So good. I love curry. This will be lunch tomorrow too.
Snacks: Lots of water today. Strawberries for DAYS. Bringing some to share with my co-workers and friends tomorrow. :) Early night tonight. Long, emotional day.
Diabetes:
Another solid low carb day. Clothes are getting a bit looser. Looking forward to Spring Break and time to have fun with family and cook yummy things for them.

Whole30- Day 8
Food
Breakfast- Coffee and Fruit Off to church with a huge water in hand
Lunch- Shrimp Salad with Romaine TONS OF STRAWBERRIES while picking in the fields! So fun!
Snack- Leftover chicken sautee mixture from Sat. Yummy!
Dinner- Chili's- Steak, Salmon and steamed broccoli We had such a sweet time with friends at a baby dedication Justin led for their little girl. I will confess... I bout lost my mind when chips and queso were put in front of me. But I waited patiently and it was worth the wait! The dinner was SO good and I love that after I finish a meal with minimal carbs I don't feel like a beached whale that needs to collapse and die. I'm not sure if normal people feel that way after lots of carbs... but that's how me... the girl with the bum pancreas feels. :)
Snacks: I had a sliced banana with almond butter before bed.
I've noticed that the discipline of eliminating dairy and grains has transferred into other areas of my life. For instance, in the case of eating out with friends... it made me exercise self control and patience. I'm a pretty impulsive girl who wants what she wants when she wants it by nature... this has been a good way to slow down and think through decisions in more areas than just eating. I'm grateful.
Thank you God for strength and better blood sugars. I'd like to keep this going so my next A1c ( a blood test that shows my 3 month blood sugar average is a DRASTIC crazy low number that blows my mind. That number will be very motivating. I've not had an A1c that I was completely satisfied with since I gave birth to my daughter... over 7 years ago.

Whole30 Day7
Wooo Baby. One Week Down. It's been 7 days since I've had a diet drink which in and of itself is a miracle. It's also been 7 days since grains and dairy (except coffee cream).
Day 7 Food
Breakfast: Coffee and Water. I slept in and then had couch drama and then started cleaning and forgot to eat.
Lunch: Avacado Lime Shrimp Salad with Romaine. Yum. Yum. Yum.
Snack: Sweet Potato Chips. I chopped up several sweet potatoes into thin slices and baked them low and slow brushed with a bit of coconut oil and salt. Oh my holy tasty snackness. It's amazing. Stop what you're doing right now and make some.
Dinner: Chicken tenderloins sauteed with EVOO mushrooms and onions. Awesome. More sweet potato chips. I'm addicted.
Clementine, La Croix, lots of water.
Diabetes:
Lows, lows and more lows. Not bad ones that require assistance from Justin, but low enough to be irritating. Still working on dialing back Basil rate in tiny tiny increments Better than being high all the time! This is the best benefit to this way of eating.
Tomorrow I will prep meals for next week and Pinterest some more ideas.

Breakfast- Casserole. The answer is always egg casserole. It works on school days. And coffee. I got coconut milk. I might be able to handle this.
Lunch- Leftover chicken roast with red potatoes and carrots. Still yummy.
Dinner- Salmon with asparagus. Yes, sir. Easy and yummy.
Plaintain chips, lots of water, LaCroix, and an apple pear with almond butter
Day 6
Breakfast- Guess what??? It was casserole today. Tomorrow were going for bacon something.
Lunch- Didn't really happen. It was a Clementine and an apple and some water and a La Croix and rectifying an unresolved issue for an important event next week and 3 hours of cheering for sweet students in a track meet.
Dinner- Shrimp, avacado, cilantro, lime salad. Yes. Yum. Good stuff.
Basil rate is down to 18 units per day and still haven't had a high over 140. As you can tell I'm pretty exhaused so I'm gonna be done for today. Tomorrow brings SATURDAY and refreshment and meal planning for week 2! Yippee!
