toriellie Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Day 5! Snow Day! Office closed! :-) Sore throat worse, scratchy voice. :-( Breakfast: Leftover hamburger patty Leftover roasted beets, carrots, parsnips Banana 1/2 small glass of almond milk 2 elderberry capsules Not a snack but something: Hot tea with coconut milk (the snow makes me want hot chocolate!) Lunch: Leftover mushroom soup from last night with a couple handfuls of frozen spinach Dinner: Pulled pork Plantains fried in coconut oil and ghee Green beans with ghee and almonds toasted in ghee Unsweetened applesauce Need to nap but I don't want to miss the snow - it's snowing hard and it's so pretty! Six inches already. Chickens are not amused. One cat pissed, the other one sulking. Dog is bored and sighing. Feeling very peaceful. Grateful to be warm and comfortable, with plenty of good food to eat and not having to worry about going to work because the office is closed. I will feel a lot more peaceful when Andy gets home safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toriellie Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Okay, today is Day 9. The last few days have been a blur of coughing, nose-blowing, and sleeping. I haven't gone off-plan except for some tangerine juice and cough medicine. Do you know how hard it is to find cough syrup and cough drops without sugar or other sweeteners and nasty stuff? Yuck! Breakfast: Scrambled eggs Bowl of blueberries with sliced banana and coconut milk Lunch: 1/2 jar of home-canned tuna with paleo mayo over greens with paleo ranch dressing Small juice glass of tangerine juice Dinner: 2 hotdogs Orange Probably didn't eat enough, but I wasn't hungry.

toriellie Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Day 10! I have now officially moved from "having a cold" to "getting over a cold." YAY! Breakfast: A bowl of nuts and fruit with coconut milk 1 small glass tangerine juice Lunch: Grilled salmon Carrots Cucumber The avocado I splurged on ($2.79!!!!) was brown in the center like it had been frozen. :-( I had a cup of tea with coconut milk to add some fat to my lunch. Dinner: Big salad with carrots, celery, radish, cucumber, olives, avocado, and spiced ground beef and paleo ranch. (my husband said how good dinner was twice while he was eating!) :-) Finally feeling pretty good, and now that I am no longer snowed/iced/slushed in, with tonight's dinner I feel like I am back on track with eating according to the template instead of randomly eating foods that are okay for W30 but not necessarily in actual meals. Yay! No cough syrup or cough drops or cold medicine for 24 hours - woo hoo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Glad you're feeling better. Watch the juice. Whole30 recommends using fruit juice only as a flavoring in cooking, not as a beverage. As you continue to get back to 100%, look for your meals to meet the recommended template of 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies, and the appropriate amount of compliant fat.

toriellie Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Good morning, Day 11! Breakfast: Last 2 hotdogs in the package Carrots, cucumber, handful of olives Banana Half an apple Chai tea with a LOT of coconut milk (hungry again and it's an hour til lunchtime - tomorrow, eat more protein and some sweet potato/roasted carrot) Ate lunch a little early. Lunch: Big salad with veggies and an avocado and meat leftover from last night, with paleo ranch dressing Didn't realize I'm out of some of my lunch supplies at work. Must shop. Snack: Cherry Pie Larabar Dinner: Pork chop Broccolini roasted with olive oil, lemon zest and slices, and S&P Big bite of raw dill-caraway sauerkraut Big handful olives Small serving applesauce Just figured out why I'm so hungry - my breakfast wasn't enough, so I'm going to be hungry all dang day! Realization: I haven't had any sweet potatoes in a week, and the inside of my lips are no longer inflamed and puffy and sticking to my teeth (random, right?). I will try to stay off sweet potatoes and do a re-intro for them at the end. SCORE! Talked to the guy stocking meat at Natural Grocers today, and he is going to add Pederson's Paleo bacon to the order list, and call me when it comes in. Yay! I have a bunch of bacon and sausage in my freezer - we bought half a pig in December from my husband's cousin - but I don't know what is in the cure for the bacon or sausage so we're not eating it. It will be nice to have some bacon during my W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toriellie Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Day 12 :-) Breakfast: Steak Carrots Cucumber Banana Bunch o' olives Tea with coconut milk Later: Tea with coconut milk Lunch: Huge salad with celery, cucumber, and two big extra carrots, about half a can of olives, some paleo ranch, and leftover ground beef and also a small, orphaned piece of grilled salmon. Oh, and a few sprouted nuts on top too. Dinner: Steak Mushrooms sauteed with garlic and ghee Spinach with ghee, pine nuts, and lemon Half an avocado Several olives Big bite raw sauerkraut Half an apple Two dates dipped in almond butter Thoughts: Breakfast was better today - enough protein and fat, but cooked carrots would have been better I think. When I was having a sweet potato and coconut oil with meat every day for breakfast, I always had energy and rarely got hungry before lunch. Need to figure out a good substitute for sweet potato.

I am so over food right now. Tired of it. Don't want to think about it. Don't want to see it. Don't want to eat it. NONE of it sounds good. Blech. I felt this way for a couple days the first time too. I hope I get over it soon. It's kind of hard to eat three meals a day when every food you can think of makes your stomach flip and want to hurl! :-) Lunch: Leftover turkey Toddler veggies (carrot and celery sticks, cucumber spears) Half an avocado Handful of olives Lemon tahini dressing to dip Snack: Half a gross Kit bar Dinner: Pork chop with caramelized pineapple Sauteed bok choy Applesauce Almonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what happened to my weekend - I can't believe I didn't post all weekend and now I can't remember what I ate! I know I didn't stray, so I guess it doesn't matter so much. I can remember what I had for dinner last night... Dinner (Day 22) Sausage and Sauerkraut skilled (adapted from Ancestral Table) and it was YUMMY! Even better for lunch leftovers.
