Today is my last day of doing the Whole 30 diet. Yeah, yeah, I know: I have no idea what they put in the delicious beef, chicken or pork sausages, I don't know where they get the eggs, they use PAM to fry the eggs and the "olive" oil I put on my salads is probably a blend with less than perfect polyunsaturated oils in it. That being said, I ate a lot of salads, eggs, steak, nuts and drank water, coffee and tea for 30 days. I didn't eat butter and did let some chocolate slip into my diet. I typically ate two meals a day and did complete my first 24 hour fast. I drank water and coffee (mixed with MCT oil) during the 24 hours.
SWMBO and I tried the diet a year ago for 15 days, then again back in February and we each lost ten pounds or so. The lack of desserts, white potatoes and alcohol makes a big difference. It's actually easy to do when the desserts over here look bleh, you can't keep alcohol in your room and the hash brown patties are probably the same quality as McDonald's.
In light of all of that, I decided to reward myself (as much as one possibly can) at the DFAC tonight. I had five slices of pot roast, tater tots, scrambled eggs (probably from a box) and corned beef hash. Since misery loves ice cream, I put three cookies in a bowl and topped that with two scoops of Breyers butter pecan ice cream. I finished all that almost three hours ago and still feel incredibly full. I really didn't need to do that. Thankfully I did work out before eating that, but unfortunately CICO doesn't work. Pancreas: I hope you can forgive me.
Listening to Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals' "Burn to Shine" album. Finally making use of Google Play's music that I uploaded many moons ago. I originally bought that album because a friend of mine made me listen to Harper's song "Burn One Down." I'll give you three guesses what that song is about and the first two don't count.
I'll end by saying tomorrow mark's day thirty one of this mustache which is the longest time I've ever had a mustache...breaking new ground here. I've grown a beard for two months after graduating college, but mustaches are much less socially acceptable. Wish me luck
