Then somewhere over the past 8 months I stopped applying what I had learned and got caught up in a lot of bad habits. I quickly learned it is one thing to KNOW something and a whole different ballgame to APPLY it. I was doing challenge groups and trying hard to get back into it but the struggle has been real. It has come to the point whre I need to have a serious intervention and deal one on one with my food issues. Hence I am starting my 30 days of removing food triggers from my diet and I am inviting you along for the ride!
Based on the Whole
30 concept (Highly suggest you read that or "It all Starts with Food"), I am removing the foods that are connected to bad habits for me
including grains, sugar in all forms, alcohol and dairy. I am also not going
to be making any treat items like paleo pancakes or donuts even if they are
technically ok. I am still on the fence about making smoothies and will be
using some supplement drinks I use for running. My biggest bad habits right now include craving
sweets after meals, stress eating, late might eating and not being able to stop eating once I start on certain foods like sweets.
I started last Monday with a 3 Day Refresh program which always gets me back on track but by Wednesday I as ready for more food options. I have been focusing on lean protein sources, LOTS of vegetables and few fruits and healthy fats. Foods are very similar to the 21 Day Fix plan (although a little more strict) but I am interested to find out if not keeping track of portion size makes a difference for me. This past weekend I faced a lot of temptations but held strong. I am starting week 2 and the only side effect that has been rough is my lack of energy but that was to be expected until my body adjusts. Looking forward to seeing where the next weeks will take me.
