It never fails. Every night around 9 pm, I start craving a snack.
Everyone else is in bed.
I can finally ready something alone without having to share.
Without having to make extra for anyone else.
I'm all alone. And I want to eat.
Can't I find anything more constructive to do?

day 1, over. 29 more to go
Okay, so I ate today. Every meal, I ate until I was full. But I still don't feel satisfied. My mind keeps saying things like, "cookies, ice cream, cake, chocolate." It doesn't even make sense, because I really have eaten my full at every meal. Why does my brain do this?
The meals and one smaller snackish meal because I just could not make it through the afternoon. Hopefully I'll get better at this as it goes on.

1 meal down, 89 to go
I promise, I'm not going to post every time I eat, out every single thing I eat, out even take pictures of all of it. Because that. Is. Annoying. But I did have some thoughts today as I get started on this journey to better health, so I'm posting.
Plus it's my blog, I can do what I want.
But just for information purposes, breakfast today was an egg scramble with onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. Although it totally could have benefited from some spinach thrown in there too. Also some cheese. Definitely cheese. And I added a cup of vanilla roiboos tea to make it feel slightly decadent. It needed sugar. But in all, it was a lot of food and I feel full and that's a good thing.
So I didn't take the advice of the Whole30 people and do a fridge and pantry clean-out. Because I am cheap. And there are three other people in my home. And they will eat the good. I plan on buying less and less of the processed junk as we go on, but I just couldn't justify getting rid of it. So I guess that means I will have to battle my desires more. Sometimes it is hard being frugal, (Or a total tightwad, in my case), but this clean eating is already going to be so much more expensive, I've got to save where I can and just be strong.
It's only for 30 days. I can do anything for thirty days, right?
In other news, Gus-gus, my youngest, had chocolate cheerios for breakfast. Which he dumped his entire water glass into. Then he let them soak and proceeded to fix his hair with chocolate cheerio water. It's a good look for him and I now have a mess to go clean up. Good thing I love that kid. :-)

starting over
Post baby #2. And I really need to do something. So it's time to start over. I'm planning on starting a whole 30 the day after Easter. It seems like such a daunting task and so much planning. But everyone who I know that had done one talks about how much their energy increased. And I think that is the one thing I need most right now. More energy. Less lethargy.
Countdown to whole 30: 13 days
