Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 02 March 2017

If your glasses lift off your nose every time you smile does that mean your face is too fluffy? Since I can't seem to remember where I put anything I have lost a couple.. or a few, ok maybe a couple.. sets of glasses. Seriously.. they have to be in the house or at work somewhere. I just can't find them at this moment. Or several months of moments depending on who you ask. So I ordered some new cheap ones from Zenni Optical. Now everytime I smile my glasses lift off my nose. So now I'm self conscious my face is too fat. Granted... it is fluffier than it once was. Today's motivation is to lose face fat.

I'm still logging food. Today I slept through my alarm so after a mad dash to send clothed children out the door I didn't have time to eat breakfast or pack my lunch. I packed everyone else's lunch just not mine. So today's menu is brought to you by places I passed on the way to work and the very strange new cafeteria that is downstairs. All in all.. I'm not doing THAT bad. The girl in the office next to me is doing the Whole30. She wanted to know why I was eating the flatbread in my flatbread sandwich. Because.. otherwise I have to hold an egg and sausage in my bare hands and then well.. my keyboard gets all gunky and then the IT guys give me the side eye. She has been on the Whole30 for 2 weeks and lost 8 lbs. I said sounds interesting.. I should try that.. which she took to mean I was trying it. So now she is giving me the side eye.

It does seem to be a thing lately where everyone and their brother is offering me diet advice.. or pills.. or letting me know about the latest fitness deal. I'm not sure if this means I complain too much about wardrobe malfunctions, broccoli farts, and my attempts to workout or maybe everyone is on the bikini season is around the corner craze. I think I'm going to putter around in my own little circular world of logging and avoiding processed crap until I see if the 8 lb loss sticks and she stops talking non-stop about toast. Seriously.. that woman really wants toast. I don't even like toast and she's making it sound good.

I've never heard of the Whole30 diet. 8 pounds in two weeks seems like a lot though. Too fast for me.

My sister-in-law tried the Whole 30. For the first two weeks, she sent out pictures of the beautiful rainbow of food she was eating. By week 3, she was getting to where she was overthinking every bite of food. I am not sure she made it to week 4...

Love the post! Very funny! I do like toast... I'm guessing the 4lbs/wk won't keep going - just an initial loss from the drastic change in input to the system. If it does continue, then I agree - too fast.

Whole 30 makes me hungry. I have raised my carbs to around 60 max and am concentrating on eating GOOD food. It's hard. It's expansive. But I found an organic sprouted rye bread from Angelic Bakery that is so good, putting jam on it would only ruin it. That and a clementine are my daily treats. Love the post, it's so true, too.

I had the same "fluffy face" problem. I solved it though. I just quit smiling.

This post and the comments seriously made me laugh. I love this entire post. There are, like, six people in our office doing the Whole 30 thing. I can't. My willpower meter is way below the 'E'. I'll stick to just counting calories.

Whole 30? Never heard of it, but reading their web site, I don't trust anyone who says the will "reprogram you" in 30 days. I would end up with Windows 8.0 version of a "healthy new me".

Actually, DFW, the Whole 30 is a great program and it is sort of Paleo meaning no grains and lowered carbs. I know many people who did well on it once they adjusted

One of the criteria when I get new glasses, is that I can smile without my glasses becoming entertainment to the onlooker. OK yes I know chubby cheeks are an issue, but so is design of glasses. The latter is easier to deal with ;)

Never heard of this Whole 30. Giving up bread is not for me. Everything in moderation is better.

It's even worse when only one side of the glasses move up because they're slanted.
