Kirsten Champagne Newell Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Following Paleo template for the past 40 days or so. I was feeling great. Started slipping a bit about 10 days ago and then went on a week long camping vacation. Gave myself the week off. What was I thinking? I ate things I normally wouldn't have even before Paleo. Disgusting. I came home yesterday feeling bloated, disgusting, fat and depressed. Jumped into whole 30 today. No excuses. Breakfast 2 poached eggs Mean green juice Pineapple, a couple chunks Iced coffee with coconut milk Lunch Filet mignon Baby spinach salad with strawberries, red onion and balsamic glaze Dinner Rotisserie chicken breast Almonds Larabar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 9, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm impressed by your quick resolve! Your protein sounds good, but you need veggies. Not just salad, veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsten Champagne Newell Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks Tom. I know I was really light on the veggies today. Not well regained having just returned from vacation. My mean green juice was loaded...kale, celery, cukes, beet etc but I know I need the whole veggies. It's a start. I appreciate the feedback.

Kirsten Champagne Newell Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Spent the whole morning cooking. Tonight I go back to work after a lovely vacation. I work 12 hr overnight shifts as an ER nurse and usually my first night on equates to being awake for 25+ hours. It's my flip day. I wanted to make sure I would have everything prepped to get through the next three overnights. I cooked all morning. Nonnompaleo's spicy tuna cakes...OMG so good served with Mango salsa turkey breakfast sausage Oven roasted Brussel sprouts Sautéed baby bellas and baby book choy Sweet potato Ghee Filet mignon Add to that the rotisserie chicken I have on standby, some fruit, salad and nuts and there is no reason to be worried about what to eat the next few days. Feeling a sense of accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
