Sarasaurus got a reaction from heb2014 in Sara's Whole30
Day 1
Meal 1: roasted chicken, cauli rice, almond sauce
Meal 2/Snack: coconut flakes, macadamia nuts, hb egg w/ mustard mayo
Meal 3: salmon cake w/ caper-dill mayo, green beans w/ ghee, spoonful of pecan butter
Starting another round (my 5th?). Got a late start today and was doing lots of prep so Meal 2 was more of a cobbled-together snack.

Day 7
Meal 1: 1/2 baked sweet potato w/ 1/4 can coconut milk, handful of raspberries, 5 slices deli turkey
Meal 2: broccoli w/ ghee, hamburger patty w/ harissa and 1/2 avocado, 1/2 raw carrot w/ tahini dip, watermelon
PreWO: hardboiled egg, 4 slices deli turkey, dab of chipotle mayo

Felt much better today! Overslept and had to improvise a bit with breakfast - did ok but was hungry by 11:30, and hungry again in the afternoon. The constant need for food prep and planning feels overwhelming at times, and I say that as someone who likes to cook. I have been feeling really good in my workouts, not sure yet whether to attribute that to W30 or just to getting back in my routine after vacation.

Hi and welcome back! I remember your posts from my 1st round in May 2016. You're awesome and such an encouragement.

I am right there with you. I feel like it took a good 2, or more likely 3 weeks for my body to become fat adapted on my first Whole30. I am right on day 20 now, so I hope it's the same or better now (it's almost 5 years later now, so I'm sure my body doesn't fire up like it used to). But I felt the same as you, after it was finished, I stuck to the general template for quite a while and I got even leaner and my energy was excellent. I started taking it for granted and cheated or splurged a lot more often as the years went by until this past year when i was completely off of the wagon. I'm hoping I can get back on track and lean back out...and then not fall into the lackadaisical trap again.

How have you been feeling since you started? Better, worse, same?
I know what you mean about missing how you felt when you were on the post Whole30 meal regimen. I mentioned it on my log, but aside from the fact that I need to drop some weight that has quickly latched onto me, I really want to get back to feeling as great as I did on a daily basis when I was eating a lot cleaner and not drinking as much. I'm on day 18 now, so hopefully I will be there soon. Good luck.

Day 26
Meal 1: sauteed kale/spinach/onion, roasted tomatoes, 1/2 chicken apple sausage, 2 eggs, drizzle of olive oil
Meal 2: 2 hot dogs, green beans w/ coconut oil, blueberries w/ coconut milk
Snack: ~2 spoonfuls coconut butter, 2 slices deli turkey
Meal 3: 2 slices prosciutto, roasted butternut squash, kiwi
Workout: None
The snack today was a mistake - I wasn't paying attention to the time and it was late enough I should have just had dinner. Instead, I had the snack then wasn't hungry for dinner until late. I found Mel Joulwan's homemade coconut butter recipe and tried it today. I can see how it could be food without brakes for some; fortunately I thought it was good, but not good enough to make me crazy! Also found compliant prosciutto at the grocery store and it was nice to have a new protein/fat.
I did pretty well with the "just eating" thing at breakfast, got interrupted a few times during lunch (I was at work), and totally failed at dinner - it was late when I was eating and I had food prep I needed to get done for the week so I ate while cooking.

I workout first thing in the morning (5:30 am). I carry a small lunch bag with a few plastic ice packs in it for my post-WO meal. I put in a few slices of my chicken I already have cooked in the fridge and a few pieces of sweet potato. I leave the bag in the car, and when I get in to head home, I eat it then. It makes it a lot easier to get home, unpack my gym bag and start breakfast without getting weak feeling needing food. Hope that helps! -

Day 23
Meal 1: sauteed onion, spinach, roasted carrots and beets, 1/2 chicken apple sausage, 2 eggs, kiwi
Meal 2: salad (1/2#) with chicken and roasted tomatoes, Tessemae's lemon garlic dressing, 1/2 avocado, mixed berries w/ coconut milk
preWO: 2 slices deli turkey w/ pesto tomato mayo
postWO: 1 slice deli turkey
Meal 3: hamburger patty w/ horseradish mayo, green beans w/ coconut oil, watermelon
Workout: Crossfit
I've been thinking about how to rearrange my evenings so that I can have a proper postWO "meal". I go to Crossfit at 7 and it lasts around an hour, then I go straight home (5-10 min drive) and start making dinner. Since I'm usually eating dinner 30-40 minutes after finishing my workout, a postWO seemed unnecessary and kind of silly - would it really make a difference if I got that protein in my stomach 15 minutes before my whole dinner? But I haven't been feeling quite as good in my workouts so decided to change it up: tonight I got home and immediately ate a slice of turkey, then showered and changed, then started dinner. This pushes dinner back pretty late (9 or after) so I kept it on the small end of the template. I'm curious to see if I feel like I'm recovering better, although it will be hard to tell if it's due to the new eating schedule or if I've just been fat adapting/adjusting in some other way.

I'm with you on needing some kind of snack, even 20 days in. Honestly, I don't know how people do it. If I'm up at 5:30am (my natural, no alarm wake time), I have to eat breakfast by 6:30 right? If I spaced 5 hours between each meal I'd be finishing dinner at 4:30/5 which is way too early for my family. I've been doing 3 meals lately but only if I delay my breakfast until after my family wakes up at 7:30. Might not be wise to wait 2-3 hours to eat breakfast but if I don't I have to snack!
