Day 2: I am Really Being Tested

Day 2, first day at work...and of course there is a lunch and learn meeting. I am actually not hungry, I am still full from my pre/post workout meals and my omelette but I needed to go the meeting - for work and because I can't avoid situations just because there is food. I can't be afraid. Of course the first plate unwrapped is a huge plate of brownies and cookies. I really don't have a problem with brownies and cookies until after dinner so this isn't so hard but after 2 days of no sugar, the plate was smelling really good! After being in weight watchers for so long I wouldn't even eat the brownie because I wouldn't be able to calculate points. Good thing this wasn't an evening meeting!

I opted for a green salad without dressing- spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, mushrooms, avocado, alfalfa sprouts! I brought my lunch today but I will just save it for tomorrow since it's basically the same dish! Following whole30 guidelines though, I have vegetables and fat but no protein. This will make it difficult to stay full throughout the afternoon. I can't have another larabar and I had a lot of nuts already this morning and the chicken in the sandwiches are covered in mayo and other sauces that have tons of sugar. At least I have my emergency banana if I really need it today.

3pm Update: My sugar cravings came on quickly, despite being full from lunch which I only ate 1.5 hours ago. Normally I would reach for an apple or a Quest Bar but instead I got a lemon zinger caffeine free herbal tee and more water. I am also going to take a 5 minute walk to get up from my desk. Reprogramming these habits and patterns is what I am looking forward to most at the end of the 30 days. I don't want to feel hungry for sugar!
