A More Disciplined Life? Day 1

I am linking up with Hello Mornings and going through the book 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life by Crystal Paine.  The title of the book pretty much sums up the goal.  On Day 1, we are given an assignment to pick one Mega Project that we are going to tackle over the 21 days.  We are to work on our Mega Project everyday.  Well my Mega Project is the wedding.  It is 30 days away and I still have loads to do.  I keep telling myself I have plenty of time and that my dear friends is a lie.  I am hoping that I am not in over my head.

You see what happened was...

Friday night my sweet man and I went out for a date to celebrate six months engaged & eight months dating.  Well due to the Whole30 our restaurant selection was narrowed greatly.  We decided to enjoy Seasons 52, if you haven't had an opportunity GO!  They change their menu with the seasons, nothing on the menu is over 475 calories and they don't cook with butter.  The food is amazing.  So I scoured the menu, asked my server multiple questions (lucky me I'm friends with the server).  I ordered and was excited to be enjoying yummy food and obeying my Whole30 guidelines.  Yeah that was short lived.  The food arrives and it looks great!  I then took a bite of the slaw and that is when I tasted it....sugar!!!!  There was a sauce used as a garnish and I didn't see it because of the way the food was plated and the dining room has romantic lighting.  So I sat there beating myself up and trying to figure out how I could possibly start the Whole30 over the next day.  I wasn't worried about getting through the 30 days themselves, my problem was what would be transpiring during this particular 30 days.  I was discussing my dilemma with Wayne and he brought up a very good point.  I will never been at this part of my life again.  We are getting married and there are events leading up to the wedding day that he doesn't want me to miss out enjoying.  So I am continuing with the Whole30 guidelines, except when I have a bridal shower for example.  This is actually harder for me than the 11 days I fulled with the Whole30.  It is harder because it is all on me, it isn't just a contracted amount of time.  I'm sorry to anyone I have disappointed.  I will say that I am grateful for the Whole30 and I saw an improvement with the changing of my eating habits and I will continue to eat this way the majority of the time.
