So as you know (if you've been following my postings), I am participating in the Brendan Brazier's Thrive in 30 program. So yesterday was day 1. I was a good girl and followed my plan. I had a large salad or lunch. I had nutritious snacks. I had a smoothie to bump up my fruit intake. I even had 2 coffees instead of 3. I thought I felt hungrier than usual, but when I really thought about it, I wasn't hungry, I just didn't have that over full, heavy sort of feeling that I have from the foods I typically eat. I felt generally good. I didn't have the usual afternoon sluggish time when I want to have a coffee.
Today, however, I went out or lunch with a friend and decided that I was going to order a salad......until I got to the restaurant. I couldn't resist and had a wrap with fries. Bad idea. Now that I am listening more to my body's signals, I realized afterwards that my stomach felt like it usually did.....unsettled. I became so thirsty and I could not quench my thirst. I was very fatigued by early afternoon and I felt my stress level rising and my patience level sinking. So, what did I do.....I spent some time making energy bars from the recipes in Brendan Brazier's book, The Thrive Diet. I'm planning or a better day tomorrow.
I you are following my blog, you will find out that I am only human and that I tend to be honest about my successes and my failures and have a few laughs along the way.
