Vanniek71 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I love smoked oysters (love fresh raw ones, too, but only oceanside!) as well, but I don't eat them as often as you do. Wouldn't smoking them yourself be less cost effective? Those bacon wrapped onion rings look INSANE! Also, I commiserate with you on the back pain and frustration about working out. My chiro helps a lot, as does icing and using biofreeze between icings. Sometimes rest is best, tough as it is. Maybe less cost effective, but whats better than fresh oysters that I smoked my my own? No preservatives, no additives, and I'd bet they are wonderful! I'm not saying I'd do it all the time, like a maybe every other month thing or something.

Vanniek71 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Day 354 - Thursday July 10thInfo: Ahhh so sleeping with my NEMS machine cranked makes my muscle pull bearable and I can sleep!!! It reduced the pain by at least 50%! it's still there but I think I am on the road to at least healing faster. That's all I can ask since I'm ancient. What is that rule of recovery? Add 6....years to your recovery time once you hit 30? Something like that!I made some more slow cooker pork, and this time I subbed in pure cocoa powder to make it like a mole sauce. It's pretty decent with just the slightest hint of coca in it. I'm glad cause I was kind of winging it and I made 5lbs! Holy Molé! Food Log:Breakfast: Stomach wasn't feeling so hot, so didn't eat.Lunch: Big chicken salad with plenty of habanero hot sauceDinner: Slow cooked pork molé on a big salad with Dill/onion OOM dressingSnack: noneExercise: noneDAY 354 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Day 357 - Sunday July 13thInfo: Took the little ones to the pool today, got my vitamin D on in a big way. I can't remember being this tan...ever. I used to hide inside with my shirt firmly attached to me. By no means am I skinny, but its nice to have your shirt off, or even go to the pool for that matter with your kids and not be embarrassed by it. It's been a long road but it has been a lot of fun, and well worth it. Can't wait to start on year 2!!! Thought this was funny, popped it out of the container and it stayed a square!

Vanniek71 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Day 360 -Wednesday July 16thInfo: Been doing a lot of thinking on what I want to achieve and whats to come over the next year. I've decided one of the things I want to make sure I do is not fall back in to my old ways. So the next year of the Whole360 project I will be following almost the same type of diet, but I will allow 1-2 "cheat" meals in a month if I am craving a particular something. Possibly not even cheat meals, but something like "Oh a piece of cheese on my burger sounds great" type thing. Oh yeah and I will be adding Sriracha back in to to my diet. I know it has sugar, but I LOVE Sriracha. And by love sriracha I mean I can tell you the first time I ever saw it, what I ate it on, and how long it was until I got some more...ready? Here it goes!I was 13 and was at Pheasant Camp (That's what we called weekends during pheasant season in Michigan when I was growing up) and my dad had made eggs for breakfast in his Scotty camper (This is what we stayed in during Pheasant camp, on my grandma's property) someone had bought him this little bottle of hot sauce with a green cap and a rooster on it. I happened to give it a try and was instantly hooked! Problem was in Michigan at the time NO ONE sold it. I still don't know where that bottle had came from but it would be several years before I would see it again. Fast forward 6 years....I am living in Long Beach, CA and I walk in to a cheap Chinese restaurant and it was like an angel had landed on all the tables...giant bottles of the green capped rooster hot sauce everywhere!!!! I promptly stole a bottle since I wasn't sure if I would ever see it again! Later on I contacted the factory and bought a 24 bottle case that lasted a while....now its everywhere and I couldn't be happier! I have found a couple of sugar free versions I may try, but nothing compares to Huy Fong's Sriracha! You may be red and green, but you are an Angel for my mouth!!!

Vanniek71 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Day 361 -Thursday July 17thInfo: I had the worst craving for burritos, but know I can't have them, so I fell back on some of my heritage and made something similar to a burrito, but totally Paleo complaint...Golobkis! For those of you that don't know what that is, they also go by "Pigs in a blanket", "cabbage rolls", and "golumpkis". Generally its sausage and ground beef with rice wrapped in a cabbage leaf and roasted in the oven. Obviously I had some work to do to Paleo it, but what i ended up with was glorious! I mixed ground beef, pork and some spices and then made cauliflower rice to sub in for the regular rice. Wrapped them all up and put them in a roasting pan. What happened next will is MIND BLOWING... (sorry had to, seems everything on the internet these days will blow your mind) I made a Paleo enchilada sauce and baked the Golobkis in that instead of the traditional tomato sauce. I hate tomatoes anyways so this was a mega win for me! these turned out great, and I now know that I can make a Paleo enchilada sauce that rivals regular enchilada sauce!The only thing was making these from scratch took a lot of dishes......I DESTROYED my kitchen! What have I done??? I made awesome, that's what I've done!

Vanniek71 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Day 362 - Friday July 18thInfo: Going forward with what I'm planning for the next year - I've got the diet and eating down to pretty much an exact science at this point. Next up is fitness and building a solid habit with that. So I will be continuing this blog (with some cool coming changes) but my focus is going to be much more on the fitness side of things than the diet and tweaking that. I'll still be posting recipes and all that good stuff, so if you enjoyed that stay tuned, also I will be posting a lot more transformation pictures because I want to document how my body changes when I add in regular workouts/activities to what I am already doing. I will also be using more supplements in the next 360, I have been kind of experimenting here and there with them now and I can say I have found what I will be using throughout my journey from now on! So stay tuned for the next 360! Great Place to Start! Food Log: Breakfast: Paleo slaw topped with ground beefLunch: Canino's sausage. Wasn't really hungry so ate a sausage and that held me over to dinner. Dinner: Scallop ceviche with jalapeno, onion, radish, cilantro and lime juice.

Vanniek71 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Day 363 - Saturday July 19thInfo: It's getting close and I'm actually nervous! I want to say thanks to all of you that have offered me support and that have stopped by to read this blog. Seriously without knowing you guys are out there I would not have been able to complete this! The "getting my food right" portion of the Wole360 is coming to a close, but stay tuned, I have decided to challenge myself over another Whole360 and really focus on the fitness. Back issues, straight up being lazy has limited my results though this Whole360, but that's all about to change! I will lay out what I am going to do over the next few days and need your help sticking to it! Food Log: Breakfast: Wasn't all that hungry ate a few carrot sticks and some almond butterLunch: Big chicken salad with extra chicken slathered in hot sauceDinner: Canino's sausages with spicy gluten/sugar free mustard, carrot sticks and an appleSnack: none Exercise: noneDAY 363 COMPLETE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
