W30 Day 1

Well day 1 went by in a hurry and (no surprise) it was a great day!

I do operate best under strict parameters.  I like organization, lists and routines.

This morning I weighed 183.8
Up about 10 lbs from my weight when I finished round 1 just over a month ago.
Impressive weight gain I'd say :)

Food for the day:

2 glasses of warm water with lemon
egg sauteed in coconut oil
fajita salad w/ cashew sour cream, salsa
apple with almond butter
blackened mahi mahi w/ sweet potato, Brussels sprouts and carrots

Exercise:

Treadmill, Week 1 Day 1 of Couch to 5K app.
Ran at 5 mph, walked at 4
I found I wanted to run a little more than just the one minute at a time but oddly, my hips seemed to be hurting a lot which is unusual.
I'll see how it goes as the month progresses
Finished off with practicing ONE yoga move (i'm terrible) and 90 seconds of wall sits (so painful)

Thoughts/emotional:

I feel very productive today. I prepped chicken taco meat for salads later on, I've got dinner leftovers, made dump ranch, hard boiled some eggs, cleaned the kitchen, did two loads of dishes and cleaned my shower lol. (it's the small victories!)

I took time this afternoon to read a little, I even found time to take a nap.
I do feel like I was on the brink of a headache for most of the afternoon. I tried to keep it in check by drinking lots of water. I'm hoping the typical Whole 30 timeline doesn't affect me either as last time I didn't experience any of the negative detox symptoms.
I truly LOVED my last experience with the Whole 30, it gave me a huge sense of accomplishment and pride in my ability to do HARD things :)
I'm expecting this round to be at least as wonderful.
