Day 8: No Motivation

So, despite having forgotten every night to write a new post, I've got the blahs. I have no motivation to do anything at home. I honestly just want to sit and watch the Crown on Netflix. I think I am developing an obsession, and I think it's helping to cause the zero motivation. Not to mention that I just don't think I am super excited about my lunch (or lack of lunches) for the week.

 I wish there was more time in a day, more time in the weekend. I feel I am so rushed after school (today especially because we have a faculty meeting (gag) to get everything done. I would love to go to Costco and Trader Joes after school. That depends on the traffic and how long it takes me to get home. I can't go if it takes too long because I have to get home and get dinner going because we have hockey tonight. Maybe I can get away with just hitting up Trader Joes.

I do have a big confession to make. One of the rules of Whole30 is that you do not weigh yourself while on the challenge. Well last week, I felt so light. I was psyching myself out though because it was less than a week, how could I have actually lost a noticeable amount of weight to feel it? So I jumped on the scale on Saturday. 8 lbs down. That is crazy. Just eliminating those food groups for a few days had brought out 8 lbs of bloating/inflammation and I'm assuming water retention? Absurd. But also, rewarding and definitely a motivator to keep going. Because I wanted to quit this weekend. I made cookies for Rob to bring to work for the storm and I left extra at home for them. They spoke to me. Those cookies waved and smiled at me from their container. Especially after I had to shovel the driveway by myself yesterday. Those cookies were laughing. So I went and sat on the couch and they went away. I didn't cave because of those 8 lbs.

My job for this week will be to plan out MY lunches ahead of theirs. Then make dinner choices. I can't be scrambling like I was last night to figure out what I am going to eat during the week!
