blahblahblah Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Day 4 Woke up with a headache and lower back ache this morning.

Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Congrats on starting the Whole 30. It's been an experience. I am on day 19 today, I will tell you it's worth it. I suggest reading under the blog Anatomy of a Whole 30. It helped me understand why at certain days I was craving things, etc. totally worth it and just keep pushing through. Love that you're tracking your sleep. Great idea. Looking at your meals though you don't seem to add enough good fats, like avocado, olives, ghee, etc. that will help with hunger satisfaction. I also would suggest on snacks that you make it a mini meal. Include a good fat and protein. That will also provide more bang for your buck. Just wanted to pass along some helpful things I've learned. Best of luck on your journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks Laura. Can you post the blog link? I couldnt find it. I dont like avocado and it doesnt agree with me. I looked at ghee and it looked so fatty... Does it taste like butter? I do love butter... I need to buy some olives, I love olives too, LOL.

Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yup! I just liked how it documented feelings. It matched mine al,it's perfectly. Lol. Definitely get olives and nuts in for fat. Ghee is ah-mazing!!! Don't stress about fat too much, it balances out. Some meals you have more, some less, just make sure you get it in there. Here is my log: I'm not perfect but most of the moderators have commented that it looks good. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/1179-jeannies-whole-30-day-2-and-beyond/ Best of luck!

blahblahblah Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Day 5 Today has been great!! I've not really felt hungry and I actually didnt think about food all day long like I normally would. I live in a fairly small, isolated town and we have a wholesale fruit and vegetable shop that is open to the public one day a week, Saturday mornings. This the only place in town to buy fruit and vegetables beside the supermarket. I set my alarm for 7am and actually woke up before my alarm. I love sleeping in on weekends and would normally sleep in until 10am. Today at 10am I was sitting down to breakfast after already having been to stock up on fruit and veg, washed my car, plus walked the dog for 30 minutes. It was a great start to the day!! Im happy to stay Im not having any cravings or missing any particular foods. Meal 1 (10am) 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, tomato Meal 2 (12.30pm) - I wasnt hungry, but I had an appointment and knew I wouldnt be able to eat again until 3pm. Celery sticks with cashew spread Meal 3 (3.30pm) - Just wanted something light to eat Celery sticks with cashew spread Meal 4 (8pm) Chicken and stirfried (in EVOO) vegetables (zuchini, capsicum, onion, mushrooms) and cashews Night 4 sleep = 7-ish hours + plus a 3 hr nap this afternoon. I wasnt particulary tired this afternoon, but aftenoon naps are a nice luxury for me on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blahblahblah Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Day 6 Today I started thinking about life after Whole30. Im pretty sure I'd like to stick to Paleo but incorporate dairy, which I've read is lacto-Paleo. I was really craving toast (with butter and vegemite) and chips (Kettle sea salt) earlier in the day. I like that the ingredient on the sea salt chips are just potato, sunflower oil and sea salt, even though 2 of those ingredients are not Paleo. Meal 1 (9am) 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs Meal 2 (2pm) Celery with cashew spread 2 lamp chops Mandarin Cashews Meal 3 (8pm) Chicken and stirfried (in EVOO) vegetables (zuchini, capsicum, onion, mushrooms) and cashews Night 5 sleep = 6ish hours + 2 hr afternoon nap (I stayed up late thinking I would sleep in, but work called early so no sleep-in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Day 7!! I've been coffee free for 7 days! I would have loved a latte this morning... Meal 1 (10.30) - had an early meeting at work, so breakfast was delayed Omelet with 2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 2 Tbsp coconut milk Meal 2 (2pm) Chicken, watermelon, cashews Meal 3 (6.30pm) - it's still cooking Carrot & zuchini roasted in EVOO & cumin 2 lamp chops Night 6 sleep = 6ish hours (need to make an effort to go to bed early tonight!)

Dragonfly5 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi krysti, Your log looks good. Can I suggest you try and throw in a few extra green veggies. Kale makes an excellent chip if you sprinkle it with olive oil and sea salt and bake in oven at 180, for a few minutes. Add spinach to your eggs etc. will help you get your vitamins.

blahblahblah Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Day 8 Today was a good day. No cravings! I had heaps to do at work and was able to just get on with it, and didnt think about food. I love that Im not starving after work anymore and dont have to rush home to cook something. Meal 1 (8.30am) Omelet with 2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 2 Tbsp coconut milk Meal 2 (12.30pm) Salmon, tomato, olives, cashews & EVOO + strawberries Meal 3 (7.30pm) - had an appointment after work Sweet potato mashed with ghee topped with bacon and onion, sprinkled with paprika. Yum! Handful of cashews while cooking dinner Night 7 sleep = 8ish hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blahblahblah Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Day 9 I had some dairy today, in the form of a latte and some parmesen cheese on my salad. Normally I would let this be an excuse to give up, but Im just going to keep going. I made a decision to not eat any nuts today, I feel like I've been overloading on nuts the last few days. Meal 1 (10am) Omelet with 2 eggs, 1 slice of bacon, 2 Tbsp coconut milk Meal 2 (1pm) @ at local cafe - not Whole30 compliant Ceaser salad, no croutons plus a latte Meal 3 (6.30pm) Sweet potato mashed topped with bacon, mushrooms and onion cooked in ghee, sprinkled with paprika Night 8 sleep = 8ish hours. Im really trying to ensure I get at least 8 hours sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
