Day-3 FREAKING

I want sugar. Lots and lots of sugar. In any form. Maybe a spoonful will do it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's not the dairy or the meat it's the SUGAR! Full blown withdrawals.

Breakfast-Kashi cereal with almond milk.

Lunch-corn tortillas with fresh avocado dipped in salsa. :) Mmmmm!

Dinner-salad with fresh avocado, cauliflower and tomato. With a T. of ranch dressing. A cheat yes but necessary.

Ending day three starving for a donut, or icecream or chocolate or cookie dough or brownies...or...

Just sent David for donuts. I suck.

Day 2-Cravings!

Ok I'm going to be completely honest. I had a 3am binge. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Who can resist? Now that its out if my system today went well!

Breakfast-toast with as natural of peanut as Walmart sells. With sliced bananas on top. Mmmmm. Bread was a little cardboard texture. :-/. But still very filling!

Lunch-BC I had the 3 am binge I really had my toast for lunch.

Dinner-I had a salad with mixed greens and spinach. Raspberries, blackberries and Mango. I did add a little Brianna's dressing. Not much. (Also had a few bites of my favorite chicken that I just happened to make tonight. I'm a self torturer!)

Snacks-I had a few corn tortillas dipped in salsa. Delicious!!

Status-FULL. I'm very full!!

Day 1-Verdict

Well Day 1 has come and is almost gone. I found my meals to be very filling and satisfying. But by the end of the night my cravings for sweet snacks was insane!! I had a green apple with some all "natural" Peanut Butter. I say "natural" because it was the best I could find at Walmart. Ingredients includes soybean oil but better then regular Skippy right? Did not satisfy my sugar craving. DID NOT. Then I had a small scoop of just peanut butter. That seemed to help a little.
My lunch was tacos. They were yummy!
Pinto beans
Red beans
Corn
Tomatoes
Salsa (It was HOT)
all on Corn Tortillas. (Best ones at Walmart)

Dinner-was again yummy! Tacos again because I had so much leftover.
All above ingredients but I added some fresh guacamole. Mmmmmm!! Also skipped the HOT salsa and used some green sauce I had. :)

Snacks-I had chips (pretty good ones from Walmart Hernandez brand). With guac and apple with PB.

Most importantly I am NOT hungry. I just have munchies.

Day 1 Whole Foods Diet

Today is day 1 of changing my eating habits. It's no secret that I am constantly trying to diet and lose weight. I have been mostly unsuccessful so I am hoping among many other benefits this lifestyle change will help me accomplish my ideal weight.  After watching the documentary Forks over Knives I feel inspired to at least try to be more healthy in my food choices.  If not for weight for the benefits it gives my body.  Some of this weeks goals for myself are:
1.  Try eating mostly a whole foods/plant based diet.
2.  Try to have food prepared in advance so it's easier to stay focused.
3.  Keep a log of recipes I like.
4.  If I fall off my plan then do not throw in the towel. Jump back in immediatly.
5. Drink plenty of water.
6. No fast food.
7. Try to get plenty of sleep.

Here is my hand written menu:
