amberino21 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I make stirfrys with lots of fresh herbs/spices for flavour - loads of garlic, chilli, ginger, lemon zest and juice, coriander etc. you could also use coconut aminos which are a compliant soy sauce alternative. I don't have a fish cake recipe - I made it up when I made it!! I used sweet potato, salmon, an egg, loads of herbs, some coconut flour etc and pan fried them. Shakshuka eggs are eggs baked in to a tomatoey vegetable sauce. I make mine spicy (lots of chilli, paprika, cumin and coriander powder), and include zucchini, eggplant, capsicum, mushrooms - sort of vegetable/tomato stew with the eggs cooked in. I make vegie frittata a lot - it's good when you want to make a lot, and is nice with salad, sort of quiche-y. You could add salmon, that's delicious, especially with leek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninglawyer88 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Great ideas! That all sounds DELICIOUS! Today's breakfast was AMAZING. So, I sauteed a tomato with some diced eggplant in a bit of olive oil with basil, garlic powder, and salt. After I finished cooking it I drizzled it with balsamic vinegar. I had it with 3 fried eggs sprinkled with nutritional yeast. It was really good. definitely a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runninglawyer88 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yesterday I had some pineapple and an apple after dinner. That seems to be my weak time. Usually my husband is eating ice cream or something so I try to soothe myself and assuage the cravings by eating fruit. ((Sigh)). I'm going to TRY to extend my whole 30 to November 10th. I have a brunch that I have to attend on that day and I'll try to stay compliant but I think I could use some more time (unless something happens in the next 18 days). I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. A lot could happen in 18 days. I'm not even halfway yet and I feel like I'm already changing in so many ways.

GFChris Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Could you make your dinner portions bigger so you're not wanting to snack on fruit later?Or, instead of fruit after dinner, could you have compliant tea, black coffee, or sparkling water?

Physibeth Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I wouldn't worry about the end of your W30 yet. Take each day and meal at a time. If you need/want to extend at the end it will feel like the right thing to do. I like Chris' suggestions for after dinner. Giving in to the emotional need for something sweet won't break the pattern. Let your husband's ice cream be on him and you focus on your needs. As someone married to the poster boy for the SAD I understand how hard it is but once you break it it is very freeing.

runninglawyer88 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Chris--it's just a bad habit. Bigger portions wouldn't do the trick unfortunately. I also already drink sparkling water. It's great. It's really just something I need to train myself not to do. Physibeth--oh, i definitely agree. It's just one of those things that are easier said than done I guess. And you're so right about taking it one meal and day at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninglawyer88 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have GREAT news. I had an accomplishment today... Here was my schedule: Breakfast (8:15) Eggs cooked in olive oil 1/2 small sweet potato with sunflower seed butter bag of steamable green beans coffee w/ coconut cream Lunch (12:00) 8oz salmon broccoli/water chestnuts/snap pea veggie blend 1 small sweet potato with sunflower seed butter NOTHING except a pickle after class/before gym. I wasn't actually hungry at all and needed to head out immediately. This is huge since it's really hard for me to go more than 3 hours without food. Workout Dinner (immediately after workout @ 6:00pm (it's cooking now actually)) 8 oz salmon sauteed spaghetti squash with nutritional yeast baby carrots handful of black olives I WILL NOT HAVE FRUIT TONIGHT! PERIOD! I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Certainly easier said than done...there are several reason I gained all 80 lbs I lost before I got married back when I got married and that was one of them. Next Friday is my 5 year anniversary and I think its been about a year and a half that I've been able to let his food be his food and mine be mine.

runninglawyer88 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Fortunately, I don't really crave "bad" things. Even before the W30 my idea of a nighttime snack would be a 100 calorie bag of popcorn and some yogurt or something--not "bad" but unnecessary. I definitely need to put an end to it though because I'm already incredibly uncomfortable with the changes in my body since getting married and it's time to do something about it!

runninglawyer88 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Day 13 broke me. I had a protein bar. I'm going to keep moving forward and just put it behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninglawyer88 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I am STARVING! Literally. This does not feel good at all. I'm in class. Had breakfast at 8 and will eat lunch at ~1:15 or so. Too long for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraRuns Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Sorry to hear about the protein bar, but yes, just keep moving forward. Sorry to hear you are so hungry! I know that really was awful for me on Monday. In the future can you bring a small meal along with you? Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Day 13 broke me. I had a protein bar. I'm going to keep moving forward and just put it behind me. Just remember the advice you gave me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninglawyer88 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I can't really do that since my best class is from 2-4 so a small meal would throw off my entire day. So I just try to wait until I'm done to run home and eat something really quick between classes. I almost threw in the towel and just said screw it because I figured what the heck...it's no use but i will get through today and keep the ball rolling. I also felt too tired to do my workout but I just went on a walk and I've decided ill power through. Ice got this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraRuns Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I hope you were able to power through yesterday! It sounds like your schedule is tough for meal planning. I think substituting a walk for a WO sounds like it was a really good idea. Hope your Friday is going well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
