Back in the USA again, probably somewhat hung over from daily poolside margaritas (albeit sugar-free with stevia only). For me this was like a 5-day binge, as although I didn't drink during the daytimes, I drank each evening. This 5-day vacation was a perfect way to kick off the next 30 days without alcohol; tequila and I had a nice long goodbye. I am happy to say that by the time I went through duty-free at the airport, the free tequila samples sounded AWFUL.
I knew upon getting home that my only assignment was to get to the grocery stores (plural) before they closed so I would be ready to hit it W30 Day 1 when I opened my eyes Saturday.
I also realized I'd better eat at least one thing that I will be formally saying goodbye to for 30 days. The only thing I could think of was Talenti Gelato Salted Caramel flavor. I don't really eat ice cream more than a few times a year, so this isn't a stretch to "give it up." But I didn't want to wake up tomorrow in regret - I just wanted SOMETHING decadent that would be forbidden within hours.
I took a digestive enzyme in preparation, settled into the couch with my pint and spoon while ironically browsing and bookmarking Whole30 recipes. Throughout an hour I ate about 80% of it before I just couldn't think of taking another bite. I threw the rest away down the sink, not wanting to see it in the morning trash. I noticed about 2 hours later that my tummy was truly BLOATED, like visibly bigger/rounder, puffier. Ugh. Perfect validation of why I'm doing Whole30, as I want to let my body rest from any effect such as this from food!
