Day Twenty Seven

Wow it's my last Sunday and I have to say with three days to go I am really scared.  What is going to happen in three days, what am I going to do, what am I going to eat?  Will I want to eat different?  What will I bring back into my diet and what will I eliminate from my daily diet?  Will I even like the things that I have eliminate for the past month?

Wegmans was a tough trip today.  The reality is we only have to eat clean for three more days and then what?  I thought am I going to eat breakfast everyday like I do now?  Should I buy enough eggs to get me through the week or just enough to get me through to Wednesday?  Are we going to go back to eating out more or are we going to stick with cooking every night?  I really like that we have been cooking at home so I am hoping this has become one of those habits that we don't break.  I did shop like I was going to continue with the Paleo end of the diet once we are done on Wednesday.  I assumed we would still be cooking dinner at home and we would need the food.  As much as our grocery bills are I am saving a lot of money because I have not been eating out for lunch and dinner, yet another reason to keep cooking at home!  In the end I did buy a couple of things I preparation for the end of the challenge.  No I have not bought my celebratory bottle of wine yet, but I probably should have visited Lisa's Liquor Barn to get it today, however there is a bag of fresh Dove dark chocolate hearts in the candy drawer ( yes we have a candy drawer!).

I can tell you a couple of things I know for sure: From day one I knew I would never go back to cream in my coffee, as a matter of fact I would drink it more at night if it was not loaded with caffeine ( yes I know there is decaf but that is like drinking non-alcoholic beer).  So, black coffee moving forward.  Alcoholic beverages: Is there even a question?? :-) I will  be more aware of the preservatives that are in foods, I do believe that eliminating the preservatives and chemicals makes a huge difference in how you feel .  I will limit bread and pasta, no harm in occasionally partaking in a nice Pasta dinner.   As for the rest I will take it a day at a time and see how it makes me feel.

I am also wondering what is the first thing I will have that I have eliminated.  (Hmm. Bet no one can guess.)
