When you go big and go home!
As some of you are aware, I am currently on The Whole 30 journey to figure out if some of the things I eat are causing/contributing to my arthritis. Then again, this has been a lifelong condition, so we will see. So at Day Six, going well so far. At Day Five I wanted to kill the driver ahead of me who was driving too slow and texting while doing it…I actually envisioned getting out of my vehicle and running up and reaching in his car and trashing his phone before snapping his neck… my road rage is not normally so RAGEY, just sayin’. Shared the story with my kid and they were like, they were driving that slow? Why not?
Now let me warn you, I spent months picking up the supplies I would need to get through this process, the oils, the nutritional yeast, etc that are required to make recipes that are Whole 30 compliant, as I have been planning this since January. It also helped me to ease my way into making recipes ahead to test drive them and get my mindset ready for success.
So if wanting to kill someone has already happened and was the first time and for a reason that would normally set me off, then I think we are going to be good to go on this journey.
Then again, one of the local creameries posted Superman Ice Cream and I was like, OMG and sent them a note saying, can you do that again in 30 days, explaining why, they said, sure they would! So, yeah…I might be from Michigan and it might be my jam…as you do. That is planning ahead for success, as it is now my reward for getting through this journey, the light at the end of my tunnel and will be one of those re-introduction foods. Wish me luck!
An aside, I don’t eat a ton of sugar straight up in my diet, nor do I crave sweets, it is just not how I am, never have been. Asked someone to bring me an unsweetened iced tea and they got me a sweetened one and I was instantly repulsed by it, Day Two on this, as I had cut out all the added sugars that lurk in our food from sources you are not even aware of. Think on that one folks, Day Two…
In case you were wondering, I am not craving any foods or drinks (no alcohol, Cinco de Whato?) and not feeling deprived in any way shape or form. But I may just be jammin’ hard on figs…just putting that out there, my life long fave has become my go to snack with nuts. If you plan for success, work the plan then you will succeed. Succeeding!
