Day 1 is done!

Today was not as hard as I thought it would be.  I had a slice of bacon with some egg whites and an orange for breakfast.  I made some tea last night that I decided to try as well.  I usually make my tea with honey but now that is out of the question.  I cant give up my tea...I will always be a Southern girl, so I decided to try a new way to sweeten it.  I added some frozen blackberries to the hot water while the tea was steeping.  So far I have not been missing my honey! I think the next time I will add some mint for an extra bit of flavor.
Work was the usual craziness that Sunday tends to be.  We had a lot of customers and a lot of stuff to get done.  The one thing about working the Sunday morning shift is that time flies! I got home pretty hungry, but there was not much in the house.  I plan on going grocery shopping tomorrow.  Weekends are a bad time to try and go shopping at the commissary because it is super packed.  Add in the fact that it was the first of the month (payday!!) and you could not pay me enough to do some grocery shopping. I pulled out the trusty bacon and egg whites again but decided on some artichoke hearts as a side.  I thought I washed the artichoke hearts off enough but they were still super salty. 
I spent the rest of the afternoon reading It Starts with Food, lounging with the dogs, and watching TV.  When I finally decided it was time to get motivated to make some dinner, I pulled out a bubba burger and called it a day.  I found some asparagus in the pantry (yep canned asparagus...it is Guam so dont judge me) and had that as well.  I have been doing a lot of recipe searching online and plan on having much better meals once I get to the store tomorrow.  I also plan to start taking pictures of the new meals I try out.  It is the cool kid thing to do now so I figure I will jump on the bandwagon too.
I also weighed myself today and wrote it down.  I am not doing Whole30 to just lose weight.  I am trying to actually find some happiness in my life as far as food is concerned.  I have battled with several autoimmune diseases for a long time and am ready to find something that will make my life better.  I am tired of the countless doctor appointments and medicines that dont really work.  The fact that my weight will get to a healthy number is a welcome bonus.  I am on the fence about posting it because I dont want to get in the mindset of needing to lose weight and losing focus of what Whole30 is really about. 
Day 1 is in the books and was a successful first day!
