Day 9

So this morning I thought I would get out the scale and weigh myself, just so I can see what my weight loss for one week on the Whole30 did for me and maybe give me some encouragement...the result- 8lbs lost!  (Or possibly 6...the first number showed me to be down 6, then the second two tries showed me down for 8)   I realize that a lot of this may be water weight, but that's ok, it's a start!  I'm hoping my body will soon learn how to burn my body fat and keep it burning fat for it's primary fuel source. This made me pretty happy to see.  Now I'm feeling more motivated!!  I'm really hoping that I can continue dropping weight...and even when this 30 day challenge ends, and I start adding some dairy, alcohol, and the occasional sugars into my diet, that my body still will prefer fat as fuel, and burn it. 

I felt pretty good today.  Had my eggs and sausage for breakfast, chicken sausage and kale soup for lunch, along with some blanched asparagus spears and some blueberries... then for dinner I had about 4 oz of rotisserie chicken breast, and a salad (added tomatoes this week).  Then I had half of a huge dill pickle, and half of a grapefruit.  I'm feeling satisfied!!  :)

Didn't get to making my meatballs this morning, so I'm going to make them tomorrow evening to have for dinner tomorrow night.  Picked up two organic spaghetti squash today at Whole Foods- $9.50 total- yikes!!  I know organic is better, but my pocketbook doesn't allow for the "best" quality, unfortunately.  :(   I only got them here because our Kroger is out of them.  :(  I also picked up a can of coconut water at Whole Foods.  It was refreshing...has a mild taste to it,  not really coconut-y.  LOL

It's been a busy week, and I'm already looking forward to the weekend.  I plan on doing some more cooking, some light jogging, and getting back to doing Crossfit workouts!!

See ya tomorrow!!!
