Day ? 

How are you navigating Halloween?

Day 3 for me. Today should be interesting. My stomach is churning and I'm afraid I might have a stomach bug. Either that, or my body hates Whole30. The positive is that nothing sounds good right now, so it should be easy to stick to this today.

I'm not sure what I'm doing for Halloween yet. If I stay home, I plan on buying candy I dislike so I'm not tempted. I was invited to a party, which will be much harder if I go.

Day 23.

We have another candidate interviewing on Halloween, and I'm doing dinner with that candidate. Thus, I won't even be home. Voila - problem solved.

I did buy candy a few weeks ago to start stocking up (we live in a high traffic TOT neighborhood), but once I found out about the interview candidate, I stopped, and locked away what I have. Honestly, I forgot about it until the other day.

Yesterday I got some awesomely good news at work, and everyone was all, "Let's go get a drink and celebrate!" I was like...um, maybe next week. Womp womp.

Today is day 3 for me

On Halloween we are having a potluck at work. A bunch of people are going in on fried chicken so that will be the main. I'm going to see if I can find something good that is whole 30 compliant to bring otherwise I might just skip it. Too much temptation and it's not worth it because I have committed to not cheating at all.

Halloween night I am taking my son Trick or treating. He's really generous with sharing his candy with me, and will hand me candy and say mommy eat this. I'm just going to have to say no, to it all. And I have to ration it to him bc he will eat it all in one night. I think I am going to put it in a drawer in the kitchen instead of the pantry so I don't have to see it.

I have not actually bought candy to hand out yet. We don't get that many trick-or-treaters (which actually makes it a little sad) and we never get invited anywhere, so I suppose this year could end up being a non-issue. All I would really want is a Reese's pumpkin, anyway, so I just might have one of those.

Day 3 for me.

Feeling ok today, tired, not much different than usual.

We have a party both Friday and Saturday evenings. No idea how I'm going to survive. The lack of drinking will not go unnoticed. But, I'm going to try my hardest. We may just skip Friday

Day 11. I actually messed up this morning, but I'm ignoring it. I got some kind of pollen or something in my throat and was coughing so badly I grabbed the nearest liquid, which was H's mocha. One sip with milk, sugar and chemicals (one of those machine dispenser coffees) was worth regaining the ability to breathe.

Halloween isn't a big deal here, so that's no challenge for me. I'm going to a BBQ tomorrow night with CF friends, so even though none of them eats paleo they all know what it is and won't make fun of me too much when I pass on the hummus. Right now my biggest issue is that I hadn't had coffee in a week and had some this morning. I am on the freaking ceiling right now, I need to calm down!

I have a confession to make: I happened to get weighed at CF last week (to calculate max lifts as % of bodyweight) on day 3. My coach and I agreed that if I was losing weight doing W30, I would go back to eating normally because weight loss would be counterproductive to what I am trying to do. I secretly hoped I would weigh less today so I could pack it in without guilt and eat delicious things again, but I weigh the same. Boooo.
