InslerS Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Missed logging Day 17.

Day 17 log: Meal 1 - Missed Meal 2 - 1 Sweet Potato and Carrot Quiche (made in muffin tin), Grapes, Handful of Almonds Meal 3 - Leftovers [Chicken Shawarma, Salad (Cucumber/Tomato/EVOO and Hearts of Palm/Tomato/Avocado} and Tahini Sauce] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InslerS Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Day 18. These being up a bunch with my son is starting to wear me out. I end up waking up super early (5:30am) and having to play with him for 45 mins and then he's ready to go back to sleep. So this morning that happened and I wasn't hungry for Meal 1 (partially because I was half asleep still) and decided to just eat when I woke up later. Well my amazing husband took the baby when he woke up for the day (8:30am) and let me sleep in. So again, missed meal 1. I'm going to post on the breastfeeding or troubleshooting forum to see if other people have this issue. Meal 1 - missed Meal 2 - 1 Sweet Potato and Carrot Quiche, 1 Coconut Larabar Snack 1 (while cooking dinner) - Grapes Meal 3 - Coffee Cocoa Rubbed Beef Brisket (amazing recipe!!!) with Sweet Potato "buns" (and Lettuce cup when I ran out of sweet potato) and Homemade Mayo and Salad (Tomato/Cucumber/EVOO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks so much for the feedback GFChris. I will definitely look at my portion sizes to see if I'm not eating enough. A lot of the time I have something to eat and then something goes on with the baby and I can't finish my meals completely, so I'll have a snack a bit later. Other times, I'm not that hungry (in the AM mostly). While I wake up hungry, it's hard for me to eat a large meal. Also, since I'm nursing, I know that I need some extra snacks to help with that. I will post on those other forums and see what they say. Yes, since you're nursing, you could even have a 4th meal. I hope you get helpful feedback in the other forums.

InslerS Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Day 19 down! Feeling good, but was definitely having some major cravings for cheese pizza. lol I hung in there and the craving finally went away. Slept in again (I've been doing a lot of sleeping in lately).... but only because my son must be going through a major growth spurt or something because he up all night. Also, went to a diner for lunch Day 19 log: Meal 1 - Missed (slept in) Meal 2 - 2 hard boiled eggs with a side salad and 1/2 an avocado. Apple Pie Larabar Snack 1 - Handful of Almonds and some grapes Meal 3 - 2 homemade beef hamburgers, Sweet Potato slices, Tahini, Salad (Avocado/Tomato/Hearts of Palm and Cucumber/Tomato/EVOO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InslerS Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Day 20 done!! I can't believe I'm 2/3's of the way through my first Whole30. Was craving pizza again but I think it was because we were home all day today (since it was a little nasty outside) and I wanted something comforting. It's definitely going to be hard to kick some of these cravings but I do realize they are getting less frequent than before. Meal 1 - 2 Sweet Potato and Carrot Quiche (Made in muffin tin) Meal 2 - Apple Pie Larabar and some fruit (grapes, strawberries, mango). I realize I totally didn't eat enough protein at this meal. Trying to get better about lunch. Meal 3 - Chicken "Parmesan" (made with coconut flour) with tomato sauce and zucchini noodles. Snack 1 - handful of almonds and strawberries (we had guests over for game night after dinner so not really a snack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InslerS Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Oops forgot to post for Day 23.

InslerS Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Day 24 --- ahh almost done! Started thinking about re-introduction today. Not sure what I should do. I'm going on vacation the day after I finish Whole30 but luckily it will be at my family's home so I can stick to Whole30 plan as much as possible (I'm not going to be cooking so it will be hard to know for sure what is in each dish). Any advice??? Also, started getting sick today. sore throat and stuffy nose. Made some yummy soup for dinner which definitely helped. Here's my day 24 log: Meal 1: Sweet potato and carrot quiche with deca tea Meal 2: Larabar (didn't have a chance to grab a real meal) and grapes Meal 3: Leftover Moroccan beef stew and butternut squash and carrot soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially it started out hard because I really didn't have anything prepared but I made it work and it ended up being a fairly easy day.

Nervous about reintro but I'll be ok.
