Day 10

I LOVE SUNRIVER! I like hot tubbing at night when it's 17 degrees and the stars are bright. I like waking up and seeing that the snow has not melted. I like getting to play in the snow and then go swimming. It is fantastic. 

I do miss having treats while on vacation. I really almost ate pizza and a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast. I figured I'd made my goal, which was to give up the Diet Coke. I have a lot more energy in the morning, which I wanted as well. Mission accomplished. How bad could one little slice of pizza and one oven warm cookie be? 

According to the book, It Starts With Food, pretty bad. They convince you that a moment of food weakness isn't worth messing up the Whole30. I'm kinda thinking I don't like the authors. They might just be messing with people. I mean, sure, in practice it totally works. But what about my cookie???

Instead I had a nut and fruit bar thing, which they say is kinda cheating because it's still giving into a 'sugar craving' but those things used to taste like bark to me. Now they are super delicious. Same with sweet potatoes. I had always loaded on the butter and brown sugar, now it tastes sweet enough on its own. 

Another thing keeping me going is you guys. I don't want to write that I didn't do it. I guess there is something to making your goals public. Thanks for the encouragement. 

I still want a cookie. Maybe I should bake up a sweet potato. 

 Cali loved the pool and wanted to swim. This summer we may do lessons

 You can tell we don't get a lot of snow very often. Our two foot high 'sled hill' was super fun this morning. 

 He didn't want to get in the pool, but liked hanging out with his fluffy white towel. Later when we asked why he was scared, he said "sharks"  

Reminds me of the little boy in Christmas Story. He kept getting stuck and needing help up :)
