Skinny Betches really DO shop at Trader Joe's!

Whole 30 - Day 3

AAAAHHHHHHHHH!

No, seriously, it's not that bad. :-)  Yesterday was a little worse, actually.  I had to enter all the meals from my daycare for August into the computer program that tracks that stuff.  So, I had to endure hours of constant suggestions of comfort foods.  Chili dogs, Mac & Cheese, turkey burgers, grilled cheese, etc.  THAT was torturous!  And with every meal, MILK!  I really like milk, but never in my life did I think I would catch myself daydreaming about it!

So yesterday's meals were within the realm of Whole 30 meals, but they were more comforty than is probably recommended.  But it got me through the day.

Today was better.  I started my day with a banana and an apple.  I still didn't have time for a real lunch, but I was fine with a handful of cashews.  Here it is almost 9:00 and I haven't had dinner yet.  I'm realizing that my schedule isn't very conducive to the healthy eating I want to do.  I'm going to have to find a way around that.  Iker suggested prepping stuff ahead of time, which makes a lot of sense, but I'm having difficulty keeping up with the time I have on hand, let alone try to plan ahead.  I do know it's something to work on, though.

Thank the Good Lord for George Foreman!

The good news is that my cravings are far better today than yesterday.  I'm also not very hungry, which is quite nice.  It's a bit early yet, but I haven't yet seen or felt any discernible differences in how I feel, yet, but I'm pretty hopeful.

So, I went to Trader Joe's the other day.  Anybody who's read previous posts might remember that my older daughter told me that Skinny Betches shop there and I had a load of reasons why I didn't want to be that Skinny Betch.  Well, let me tell you, she was right! Trader Joe's is SWIMMING with Skinny Betches!  And they're really nice!  I had conversations with them and everything!  They helped me translate the healthy food-speak that still floats over my head.  They were encouraging as I told them about my challenge, and they had helpful suggestions.  I was quite enlightened and a bit uplifted by my sojourn into the whole food mecca.  I will probably go back!
