If you have been following along on Instagram, I posted reels of my day-to-day for the first 5 days. This was so fun, but so tiring! This week, I showed off some of my meals through stories as well as my grocery haul. Since getting back into the Nutritarian way of eating, I really forgot how much fresh produce we go through, especially on days when Kevin is also having a large salad. So, at the end of the week, we were ready for a produce restock.
I'm finding that going into my second week back, I am starting to really crave and enjoy my salads as the favorite part of my meal. It might be because the weather has been so warm, but salads are just hitting the spot right now. I've also been enjoying ALL of the summer fresh fruit. Mangos, cherries, watermelon... yum!
My inflammation has gone down a lot since starting! I can tell that I'm sleeping better and my moods are more level throughout the day. I am starting to feel more in-tuned with my hunger and satiation levels, so I'm starting to not want as much during my evening meal so that I am not still feeling full by bedtime. Each day last week felt like the longest day as I was uncomfortable and getting back into the habits I wanted to have, but this week just flew by. I hardly had to do any thinking about what I was going to eat. I didn't stress about meal times, even though a few lunches were delayed from kid activities. It was kind of nice to be on autopilot and know that what I needed and wanted to eat was already in the fridge and mostly prepped.
Just like last week, I found that I had so much success sticking with Nutritarian eating because I planned ahead and had my recipes and grocery list ready to go. I decided for now to keep offering up the free meal plans for download, so if you want you can join in too. :) Here is a link to the blog post about Week 1 if you want to start from the beginning.
I will have Week 3 out next Sunday (July 30th), and then I will be taking a short break for a family trip to Hawaii and then to my hometown for the first part of August. Expect Week 4 on August 20th! In the meantime, I will be posting on Instagram all about my travel to Hawaii and (hopefully) all of the fresh tropical fruit I get to eat!
I hope this week is wonderful for you however you spend it, and that you find peace in how you are eating and the joy you find in life outside of food.
