cdauk Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 OH and I asked my local grocery store to special order me some coconut aminos and they did! I picked one up for my sister too. Hope she wants one:) Miss Mary, they had to order 8, so if you want one I could run and get you one and send it with my sister too. Just let me know:) They are $7.50 a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdauk Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 8/4 Day 15 HALF WAY!!!! Preworkout snack: handful macadamia nuts hardboiled egg Breakfast: 2 eggs spinach mushrooms onions Lunch: Hamburger Tomatoes Avocado Snap Peas Green Beans Cherry Tomatoes Strawberries Watermelon Sparkling water Dinner: Chicken Thigh Chicken Wing (on grill) raw veggies/raw fruit (same as above) I am officially half way through the whole30. Overall I am feeling really good. I have more energy and my workouts are going really well. I would probably feel better if I got more sleep (young nursing daughter still keeping me up at night--she didn't get the memo about mama needing more sleep) I am still craving sweet stuff after dinner and wondering why since I have been sugar free for some time. I will keep plugging along on...only 15 days to go. I also talked someone else into doing the whole30, he bought the book already and have 2 others interested! YEAH!

cdauk Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 8/14 Day 25 Breakfast: 3 eggs spinach orange pepper onion Workout: Yoga Lunch: Watermelon Pluot Chicken Legs Cucumber carrots snap peas mixed nuts iced tea Dinner: Paleo "chicken nuggets" (these were not too good) salad with avocado, balsamic vinegar and olive oil *Today I really feel like I NEED a good chunk of bread, a big chewy bagel or a piece of chocolate cake! WHY?! So close to reaching my 30 days, why do I STILL get the urge for these things?! I am "toying" with the idea of trying to do more than 30 days, but to be honest, I was looking forward to my "reintroduction" phase. I am just scared that I will gain weight back or spiral out of control. The problem with me and bread is I can't stop once I start, so I had cut it out, but I think their must be a healthy medium out there?! hmm.....pondering.....I really wish the moderators still checked in with us now and then.

cdauk Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 8/15 Day 26 So, after talking with my sister (also on whole30) she has helped me realize I need more fat/protein and maybe not as many veggies/fruit. I seem to be getting a lot hungrier and having a lot of cravings for sweets/bread lately. I will see how the adding more fat goes today. Breakfast: 3 eggs spinach onion red pepper Workout: 32 min run 15 min elliptical "cool down" 15 min bike Lunch: assorted fresh veggies Tuna with olive oil, salt and pepper avocado assorted fruit carrots with almond butter AND I am STUFFED! I have been really hungry mid afternoon so I added more fat into my lunch to see if it helps. I am really full, so hopefully it helps. Dinner: spinach salad shrimp and garlic sauteed in ghee squeeze of lime juice cilantro macadamia nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast: 3 hardboiled eggs carrots very small amount of guacomole blueberries almonds Lunch: chicken breast orange bell pepper kiwi mixed nuts (another rushed meal, poor planning on my part) Cold Press coffee and coconut milk ----slightly after noon, but I NEEDED a pick me up due to the fact that my daughter was up with a 103 temp last night for several hours.

cdauk Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 MY WHOLE30 Synopsis The first week wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I think that because I was already gluten free and sugar free that made a huge difference. I don't plan on reintroducing gluten, but I am going to reintroduce MOST dairy (yogurt, cheese, sour cream, butter and going to try ice cream as an occassional treat) and some "occasional" sugar, along with some legume (namely peanut butter) and some grains (rice, sprouted grain bread, and some nut/rye crackers) My energy was much improved, even with a reduction in my coffee intake (although I could still do better-I think I broke the coffee after noon rule a handful of times and had more than 2 cups a few days too), I am hoping that my daughter will be sleeping better now. I have weaned her the last few weeks in preparation for all of my travels with work and due to a horribly painful crack in my nipple that will not go away no matter what I do. I am very sad to see this nursing relationship end, so my mood would probably be even better if I wasn't dealing with this disconnect. We are down to once a day now, which I plan on skipping tonight if I feel able. With all the above said, I plan on doing another whole30 after my travel season at work comes to an end. (Marchish) I know its going to be really challenging to eat whole30 on the road, but I am going to do my best to stick to my protein and my vegetable carbs. I have already spoke with the meal coordinator with our hockey team and told her my concerns. She said that she will make note and plan accordingly. The only 2 trips that will be an issue are flying trips and I am just going to do my best. Any bus trips I can pack my small lunch cooler full of hardboiled eggs/meat/jerky and veggies. Tomorrow is a new day and I have decided to introduce just ONE food every two days. I basically have until the first week of October before I travel, so I should have it all figured out by then hopefully. OH, and I weighed myself this morning and lost 7 pounds over 30 days. I was actually expecting a little higher, but oh well. A loss is a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmary Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 hey, 30 days well done! congrats. Forgive me if this is all old knowledge, but I would take some time with those reintroductions--it gives you a chance to really test how things effect you, and you might decide some of that stuff is just not worth it (or only worth it once in a while). The drill of trying one new thing, waiting 24-hours, trying the same thing again, wait until symptoms subside before testing the next thing is key. Have fun experimenting!
