Week 2

I realized something today; where in the first week and a half eating a high protein breakfast left me feeling hungry within an hour, my body has adjusted to the change so that now that nutrient balance is actually sustainable almost to lunch time.  This week has been interesting with the bout of insomnia and it being employee appreciation week at work (I cheated -I had 1/2 a bagel -and yes it tasted good).  Now the insomnia is over -thanks in part to the demonstration guinea-pig role I played for an acupuncturist- but I am exhausted before the day is even through.  Today especially I just wanted to put my head down on the desk and snooze.  Trying to focus on the computer?  That was an almost impossible task; yet I managed to somehow make it home in once piece and write my blog for this week.  As far as any physical changes that may have or are currently occurring with this change in diet, I can't say that I've really noticed anything thus far.  Starting Saturday I will be on vacation with family -I have debated how to handle vacation, family, and the Whole30.  The only truly successful solution that I can think of is to put the diet on hold for those 8 days and tack on an extra week in August to make up for it, so in reality it will end up being more than 30 days.  I'm not saying that I'm going to go on an 8 day binge and eat all the bread and potatoes that I have not been able to eat, I will still attempt to stick closely to the guidelines, I'm just not going to make meal time difficult for myself or for my family.
