Days 4-7 and Diet Coke

I can't believe I am going to say this BUT this Whole30 nutrition challenge is not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. Diet Coke. The meals I have made are missing some of my favorite ingredients, like Diet Coke cheese on my tacos, or sour cream in my mashed Diet Coke potatoes, but all in all I've been really fine with what I am allowed to have.  Last Saturday I joined Costco and that was a huge Diet Coke plus.  They have tons of items that are Whole30 compliant.  My fridge was stocked!  The pantry… not so much.  There is not a lot of stuff Diet Coke that is compliant that comes in a can or a box!

As for the Whole30 timeline thing, Diet Coke it really hasn't applied much to me.  I had a really bad headache on day 2 but none since.  I've haven't been really crabby Diet Coke and I certainly haven't wanted to kill anybody or anything.  Rob, on the other Diet Coke hand, was willing to walk wherever he needed to go in this Michigan blizzard if he knew there was a piece of cake waiting for him!  He was irritable.  The funny thing- his Diet Coke attitude totally changed when I told him we could have dill pickles.  Knocked his socks off.

In the past week Diet Coke I have made my own mayonnaise and ranch dressing, ground my own pork to make sausage and currently have bone broth Diet Coke cooking in the crock pot.  The mayo was da bomb if mayo can be described as such.  It's so darn easy and quick to make Diet Coke I won't ever my store mayo again.  The ranch dressing needs Diet Coke a little tweaking but I can see that getting perfected soon.  The sausage will be tested tomorrow at breakfast.  I felt so paleo-whole30-pioneer woman-betty crocker-martha stuart- grinding my own meat.   LOVE my Diet Coke KITCHENAID mixer!

I still have Diet Coke cravings but I don't think it has as big of a hold on me as it did a week ago.  Who am I kidding.  I think about it every waking hour!  If only I could crave eggs like I do Diet Coke.  Let's just say it's a clucking lot of eggs consumed this week.

Lastly, I had my first dream where I ate of the forbidden food and was shunned.  I ordered a double cheese burger.  I ate it and I liked it.  And then I freaked out.  I was going to have to start all over.  Let's just say I was a bit relieved to find out it was just a dream.

I'm starting to see double. I'm off to dream of  Diet Coke whole foods.  Be whole, my friends.
