Was it ridiculously hard?
Did I slip at all?
Did I have crazy cravings?
Was I miserable?
Shockingly....no. To all of the above.
I mean I may have slipped up unintentionally because I'm still learning what all is/is not part of the "plan" but, to the best of my knowledge, I did a dang good job! And the mirror is definitely reflecting that-- I am feeling VERY lean! Love seeing this fat melt away!! I'll share some progress pictures next week so you can get a good 2 week side-by-side transformation. :)
Last night I was really wanting a Qdoba naked queso chicken burrito but that was mainly because I was STARVING and leaving somewhere that it used to be a bit of a habit to go to Qdoba...
Sooooo yeaaaaah no Qdoba for this girl! I came home and had some carrots with hummus and oil-free stove top popcorn. (Did you know you can just throw popcorn kernels on the stove--in a pot, covered with a lid-- and it'll pop up just the same? I did not. You are welcome. Oh, and melt some natural peanut butter to drizzle over top. You're welcome again.)
Anyway. I'm feeling really good after my first full week! Waking up without the snooze button. Sleeping well. Plenty of energy and not feeling deprived. Water intake on point. Down some pounds, but new workouts have me pretty, okay, EXTREMELY sore so I know the scale is not accurate right now, as it's reflecting that water retention. (Side note: 30 minutes of pushups and pull-ups will make you very sore.)
I'm definitely still learning and trying to find new, yummy meal combinations. I tried a recipe with chickpeas the other day. Eh. It was just okay. I need to figure out what to do with this squash. And kidney beans. And zucchini. I've seen some baked zucchini chip recipes before so I think I'll try that.
All I know is, thank GOODNESS for all of those bloggers out there who share their knowledge and their meals. (Especially the desserts. Bless you, ChocolateCoveredKatie.) I know I've said this before but seriously, this adventure wouldn't be nearly as successful without the convenience of looking up "wfpb recipes" every couple of hours on my handy dandy little iPhone.
Still going strong! And creating a WFPB approved Thanksgiving menu to share with my family who, I declare, is going to have the healthiest holiday season ever. :) I'll share it with you, too, if you want? Leave a comment or message me on Facebook if that's something you'd like to see here. Don't worry, they won't be questionable recipes created by me-- I'm going to pick and choose a full menu from the experts/my fave recipe bloggers I've found here in cyber-space so you'll know they've been taste-tested and follower approved. ;)
7 days down, 83 days to go! :D
