Whole30: Round 1! page

[kalli889]

Hey all. I'm going to start a Whole30 on October 5. VERY EXCITING!

[kalli889]

I'm 62% of the way through It Starts With Food. It will actually probably be easier to go through a Whole30 after I come back from my vacation -- all of my friends back home are clean eaters! Although there might be gluten-free cake at the wedding I'm going too.

I like that I'm not allowed to step on the scale or take measurements during a Whole30. I can be a bit obsessive. AND I can put on 7 pounds a day after a martini, so I won't have any reason or opportunity to get all crazy.

Oh my god, Fleisher's in Park Slope has Pork Belly! Fleisher's Grassfed and Organic Meats | Pork

Their beef is grain-finished though. Blech.

In positive news...marrow is back at FreshDirect!

I'll be keeping track of your progress. I still weighed every day when I did mine. Maybe b/c I felt rebellious?

[kalli889]

I'm terrified of not weighing. I'm terrified of weighing. Either way. Terrified.

I woke up late today (cat peeing everywhere, had to stay up and clean up again) so I didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Instead I've eaten pecans and had coffee with coconut oil. So I could start a Whole30 today. Wait. I had chocolate covered almonds too. Oooh, see? Tricky! Trying to fake myself out! And I had store bought almond milk, which has fillers! See! See how they get you, with their fillers? It probably has carageenan in it!

(Yup, it's true: Purified water, evaporated cane juice, almonds, tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, potassium citrate, carrageenan, soy lecithin, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, d-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E)

Okay. I made an appointment with Rent the Runway to try on dresses that I might use for my Kickstarter video. I'm kind of horrified by how much I still weigh. I wish I could be like Mindy Kaling sometimes.
