GFChris Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 You did well in meeting the template. On your meal 1, I would increase the protein. A serving of eggs is the amount you can hold in you hand. I'm guessing that's at least 2-3. Also, for your tracking purposes, you may find it easier to record all your days in a single thread (i.e., replying to your own previous posts) vs creating a separate thread/topic for each day.

GFChris Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Are you hungry??? The past couple days, it doesn't look like you're eating enough. No veggies at lunch yesterday, 1 egg at today's breakfast especially jump out to me. Are you still not feeling well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No veggies at lunch yesterday, 1 egg at today's breakfast especially jump out to me. Are you still not feeling well? Yes...I am starting to feel better. I can't go hungry. It makes me sick. Today I was a little hungry and should have eaten more. I was so busy prepping for the week that I wasn't taking care of myself in the present. I was also trying not to snack since the program discourages it. I ate 1 egg with veggies in it because I've been getting too full. In fact, today I felt too full all afternoon and then again at dinner. Are you passing judgment or seeking clarity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was both checking in to see how you're feeling and to confirm whether what you're eating is satiating you, as it wasn't always fulfilling the template. I view that as concern and observation, not judgment. I'm sorry if you took my post differently. If you are genuinely hungry between meals, EAT. Have a mini-meal of a protein and fat.

Thank you for checking in and guiding me to stay on track. I am trying my very best. If you see that I am not eating as well, I either don't feel well, am running my kids (4) around, or am needing to go to the grocery store. I need to leave a quick snack in my car for those unexpected instances where I am not at home. I have lunches and such prepared for the week which helps me to maintain.

JGiggly Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 New England Chris, Since you are the only one that knows my log exists or you are the only one who responds, I thought you should know...I'm from Maine. So, I'm fist bumping you because it's a small world. I hope you are loving winter as much as me. Anyway, on to my daily log... I was thinking, "shouldn't I feel great by now?" NOPE! I looked it up on the timeline. It's amazing how dang accurate that thing is. I don't want to quit or anything like that but I feel like eating (I'm not hungry...just want to snack). I am filled up at every meal and then I just want to eat non-stop. Yes, obviously food has a hold on me. I sense a paradigm shift coming on and I am experiencing the pain of it. DAY 10 B] Scotch Egg Squash L] 3 Fireballs (Well Fed recipe) Mayo sauce (Paleo) Spinach Olive oil S&P S] Black olives 1 1/2 slices of Applegate Turkey D] Chicken Breast Mashed Cauliflower (Too mushy/overcooked) Broccoli Mayo sauce Another snack!: 3 fireballs and mayo sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Fist bumping back at ya! LOL I'm in Southern New England. Love having four seasons, but not a fan of winter.

I am halfway through and have been struggling with pain really really bad. I've seen progress in other areas, but not with the pain and inflammation. Right now my scrawny ankle looks like a softball... maybe a baseball. Either way it is huge and it hurts. When should I see a difference? Should I continue with my W30 longer (making it not W30)? Should I eliminate nightshades? Coconut? AHHHHHHHHH! I'm not giving up. I know eventually things will change. I just feel discouraged because I've been walking funny since I started W30 and I have to take naproxen more than I want to. I want to be med free. On the plus side I am not debilitated which is what happens every other time I feel this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic382 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bummer about your pain! You had that before your W30? I'm 3 days behind you and struggling too. The timeline's definitely right: it's annoying to have put in so much work and not seen the magic yet. Especially since (for me) things got HARDER around day 9 or 10 and haven't let up yet. Hang in there with me. Magic's gotta be somewhere ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGiggly Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well there is some magic... I feel awake and my mood feels up. My eczema is going away. I'm not craving bad food. My hair looks great. My friends say I look great. I love what I'm eating. So, there is some magic, I just want to be pain free yesterday. On the upside, the pain I feel now used to be an immediate precursor to debilitation and bed bound. I haven't hit that. It's stable and awful but great because I can move. Make sense. Nah. Didn't think so. I was just pepping myself up and trying to recognize the good. DAY 17 B] Hamburger squash 1 bite size piece of chicken breast L] Chicken breast spring mix w/ spinach & pepper (no salt) green pepper S] 3 bite size chicken pieces apple D] Turkey mashed cauliflower carrots Yesterday and today I have felt hungry between meals. I get satisfied and full (not stuffed) at meals. I try not to snack, but had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
