I am so, so mad at myself. I'll start this by saying I know it is my fault and I can't blame anybody else for eating off-plan. I was on Day 15 when we went out to eat at our favorite pizza place down the street. Damn you, East Coast Pizza! My husband's brother and his girlfriend were staying with us for the week and wanted to eat at all of our favorite local spots. When pizza was brought up, I told myself "It's okay, I can eat one "bad" meal and go right back to the Whole 30 plan." Obviously it wouldn't be a strict 30 days and the rules state that you must start back at day 1 if you cheat, but I was okay with that.
Well, that one dinner turned into two, and then lunch and I have found myself right back at square one. My mom brought over my favorite Oreo cookies and a mini cake yesterday and I ate way more than I would care to admit. Sugar is my number one addiction so it's incredibly frustrating when she does things like this, knowing the struggle I have had my entire adult life.
At this point, I don't know what to do. It took my body a good week to adjust when I started the Whole 30, and I am running in the Ragnar SoCal relay in less than 3 weeks. I know better than to start at day 1 with that happening in the middle. After Ragnar is my birthday, Easter, then my husband's birthday. Maybe we should start a birthday tradition of celebrating without big meals and just power through the 30 days anyway? I don't know!
I am going to try eating clean until we start again. My mom is flying home this week and that will make it a million times easier not having her constantly stock our cupboard with cookies, crackers, ice cream and candy. I'll post another update once I have a plan for the Whole 30 again.
