pam21e Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It is a beautiful morning here in the midwest after all the rain and storms we have had. A great day to start anew. My official start day was 5 days ago, but am tagging along for the additional support. I can honestly say just in these 5 days my joint pain is much less. I have osteoarthritis in my low back and knees and typically have to take NSAIDS several times a day, but in the past 3 days I have not had to do so. My go to breakfasts is scrambled eggs, veggies and fruit. Lunch is fish, avocado and veggies. Dinner is the same minus the avocado and instead of fish I might have grass fed beef. I would like to find the no sugar/nitrates bacon I have read about in some posts. Last night I put a frozen banana in my Nutribullet with a dash of coconut/almond milk which makes the consistency of ice cream. I finish it off with a dash of cinnamon. I don't call it dessert, it was just part of my dinner. My husband liked it so much, he wanted a second dish. I can also tell my clothes are starting to fit a bit, just a bit looser. I know that isn't the goal of Whole 30, but if I get rid of any of the extra 40-50 pounds I am lugging around that is bonus. When my niece and her husband followed the Whole 30, they both lost weight and inches. Good luck to all of us on this journey!! I will post again later tonight.

jtota Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm in! Having a late breakfast now and then it's off to shop for groceries. Determined to make it through this time around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyBee Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Everybody - I'm in for June too Terrified, unprepared, but going for it. I'd be interested in finding other really fat folks who believe in size-acceptance, are doing this for health and not necessarily for a weight loss goal. I've been very fat since childhood, and I believe in loving your body no matter what. I'm a full believer in the "Health at Every Size" movement. That being said, I think this is absolutely the best, healthiest way of eating there is, so I'm doing this to be kind to myself, not to whittle myself away! I've read the book and it seems the Whole30 philosophy is very compatible with the health at every size philosophy. I did a board search for HAES, and came up with nothing, so I'm using the acronym in case other HAES folks show up here and are looking for kindred spirits. Now I'd better go make some eggs and head to Whole Foods! Looking forward to the next month with y'all ~ Warmly, Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam Pam...I ad to smile when I read ur post because all I did was open a bag of trader joes Brussels sprouts, cut them in half nd stuck them in the microwave. Guess I could have roasted or put balsamic or olive oil or something, but I love Brussels sprouts plain....(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intheboonies Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm in! Posted my story in another forum if anyone cares to take a look. HollyBee, I can totally relate to what you said, "Terrified, unprepared, but going for it." For breakfast I had 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil, a homemade turkey sausage patty, some strawberries, about 8 macadamia nuts and some green tea. I have absolutely no idea what's for lunch, and lunch is NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the next month with y'all ~ Warmly, Holly Holly, what I hope is that my body settles to the weight it functions best at... whether that be 5lbs less or 5lbs more. I hope the same for you! I am tired of feeling out of sorts with the up and down weight based on the crap I eat! I want to eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full. New concept, no? ~Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Lunch time crisis averted! I had an hour to take a shower and eat before I headed to work from 2-8pm. I do work at a health food co-op, but still many of the proteins are not Whole30 in the hot deli due to added gluten or dairy. So, I wanted to eat a big meal before I left and maybe just a piece of fruit on break with a few nuts? I almost broke down and bought BBQ chicken at the store on the way home from the gym... telling myself I'd just peel off the wonderfully crispy looking skin. Yeah, right. So, I bought some sliced flank steak instead and microwaved a sweet potato while I was in the shower. The steak and the potato (with about 1T ghee) have me quite full and ready to go! No picture since I didn't cook it myself. I know my main demon is sugar, but yay me for not taking short cuts and making excuses for somehow making non-compliant food compliant!

intheboonies Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I averted my lunch crisis as well! Canned chicken, chopped celery, sliced almonds, cranberries, sea salt, pepper, and coconut oil made a decent chicken salad. Haven't made any of the olive oil mayo, that's why I used the coconut oil. Tastes pretty good, thankfully I'm not a super picky eater. I'll eat some baby carrots to get more veggies in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keianna Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Easy lunch idea: ground beef, onion, oil and seasonings, brown add diced carrots, chopped cabbage and seasonings cook until veggies are softened Nom Nom Paleo App Went to the Farmer's Market, Whole Foods and Penzye's spice market today. I am ready for the week. All 21 meals already planned out and shopped for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam21e Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I need ideas for something else besides water to drink. I drink water with a lemon or lime, but am finding I am wanting something else.

intheboonies Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I got hooked on water when I did Take Shape For Life (Medifast). I prefer it room temp. I like it with lemon, but am too lazy to buy and squeeze/slice them. I have green tea in the morning and some kind of herbal at night. Have any of you considered having your tea iced? There are many yummy flavors of herbal tea that might be a great alternative to the Crystal Light, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
