Tayleo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sorry to hear about your coconut flakes! That's too bad! I almost bought sun dried tomatoes with preservatives last week from trader joes (of which is new to Colorado and I was a bit disappointed in...) So I am not having the most exciting of days and really want to sit down with a big bowl of pistachios but I am not even hungry! I want them for no other reason other than they are salty and would taste good - not because I am hungry and I need them. I am not going to eat them but my mind sure is trying to play tricks on me My favorite easy meal is baked chicken thighs. salt, pepper, oven at 425, 40 minutes and boom - crispy yummy chicken. Other than that most meals in my house take at least an hour to cook/prep...I am also wondering if Mad Greens has some compliant menu items? My fiancé doesn't get home until 8 tonight so I am not eating for at least another 3.5 hours, which I can probably handle...I hate when he works late...

firsttimer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Checking in! Great day - had my chicken salad for lunch - nice to eat an old favorite that was already compliant. Making a pork loin now. Feeding kids is definitely challenging - I've had to push through making them all kinds of things I couldn't eat. I actually think it has helped with self control. I'm still struggling with eating veggies. And Tayleo I am definitely having the issues with not wanting to eat sometimes and just finding food in general unappealing. It's the worst in the morning - I have to force myself to eat, and can only eat a bit. Hot flashes this past two days have been crazy. I had a tissue sitting in church to wipe my face because I was literally sweating!! LOL - I bet the people around me thought I was feeling guilty!!! But, happened at home too - seems random. Headaches have lessened today. I can see the food boredom setting in soon too. Definitely need to shake it up this week. We have Chipotle here - what is compliant? All the meats? I could definitely do that for lunch one day. Also have a Trader Joe's that opened a week ago and i haven't even been to yet, so I'm anxious to see what I can get there.

This web page will help you decide what you can eat on a Whole30 at Chipotle. https://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/ingredients_statement/ingredients_statement.aspx For meats, only the Carnitas are compliant, as the other meats are cooked in non-compliant oils.

GFChris Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is Pectin Whole 30 compliant? Since pectin is a polysaccharide, and polysaccharide = sugar, that would make pectin a no on a Whole30, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm watching a movie and they are eating at a Chinese food restaurant and Chinese is my food. My binge food, my favorite food... I am having a huge craving. Wow..I am not going to order any but dang I really want some. As for my chiptole - I had a compliant salad with carnitas,gauc, salsa and lettuce. Ugh I want lemon chicken.

Tayleo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm having salami and pistachios for breakfast because we are having a power outage. Yay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberlyrose Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 That actually sounds pretty good, tayleo! Where did you find a compliant salami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 A local butchers, he's a good ole boy... poor guy I had him look up every ingredient on his salami... Father in law is taking me out to lunch today a local burger joint called Park Burger. Made a phone call to there and they are going to dry grill it for me and place it on a bed of mixed green. Probably going to add some tomato and avocado. Have to run by the store today to get unsweetened cocoa for chocolate chili today. I have some clients this afternoon but nothing too bad, Jesse get home at 5! Also went on a hour walk with my neighbor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_kc Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 So far so good today! WooHoo for restart day 1. I had 3 eggs (2 whites + 1 whole) and stirfried cabbage for breakfast. I got some exercise in (Physical Therapy + squats, but I did manage a walking .5 miles + .25 mile run - WooHoo - that's a first since starting PT many, many weeks ago!) I didn't even eat again until lunch! Made a great steak salad with leftover steak, arugula, tomatoes, mushrooms, 1/2 avocado and salsa verde dressing (salsa verde mixed with home made mayo, lime juice, and cilantro) - YUMMO. My husband said it would be a pricey dish at a restaurant. Finishing up work and eating before I leave for home with leftover scallop curry over cauliflower mash (not my favorite as it's a little mushy, but it will do). No more eating when I get home! Now that I've written it all down, I have to stick to it! Keep it up everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firsttimer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Eating dinner now - trader joes turkey burger with guacamole. Glad I finally made it to TJ to pick up some things. Still going strong. Keep it up ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Chocolate chili = win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry54lee Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Day 9 (it is day nine isn't it?) and still cranky! I don't remember my co-workers being anywhere near this annoying before my Whole 30 started. Yikes - hope this passes soon! On a more positive note - I had the last of my chocolate chili over stir fried kale. Topped it with half an avocado - so good. I finished with some apple and pear slices I baked with some coconut flakes. It,too, was tasty - but a little too "dessert like" for total compliance. Will have to watch those urges - although I did resist the urge to weigh myself today, so that was a win!. Hope you all are doing well - keep plugging away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am having some urges too. So hard but really trying to ignore them Yup - tomorrow is day 10! I also really want to weigh myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firsttimer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Wow - can't believe it's day 10. Tayleo - I understand the obsession with the scale - I'm so happy with how my clothes fit and I would really love the affirmation of the scale but I'm going to wait. SO HARD!!! Planned really good food for tonight - wanted something to look forward to and avoid possible day 10-11 blues. I'm sleeping so good - very refreshed in the morning and I wake up easily. I used to snooze 4-5 time. Lots of energy throughout the day too. Kickboxing class tonight - anxious to see if I do better in that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_kc Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Working hard to avoid the scale too. Was happy that I was hungry this morning. It's strange how it's nice to feel a little hungry and not feel too full! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I didn't avoid the scale this morning..I failed on that end but.. 6.2 pounds in 10 days. Lets hope the W30 police don't kick me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I didn't avoid the scale this morning..I failed on that end but.. 6.2 pounds in 10 days. Lets hope the W30 police don't kick me out No, we won't kick you out. But we will plead with you to please please please hide your scale for the rest of your Whole30. Have a friend come over and take your scale into their house until you finish, if you have to. Yes, this rule is that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayleo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I know that weight is not the point of whole30 but if I do not lose the weight I will end up with diabetes, heart disease, cancer... so getting the weight off is an motivating factor to me so the fact I have lost weight encourages me to continue.

NoelleD Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Also I've been peeing every 30 seconds today. Normal for day 8? That's not normal for me. I have been rather annoyed at having to get up to use the restroom at least three times a night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberlyrose Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I did pretty good today but I definitely need to add more starchy veggies to dinner. I went to the gym at 5:30am, ate some protein before I jumped in the shower, and proceeded to pass out for an hour on my bed after! Thankfully I work from home or I would've been late. I'm fighting the urge to weigh myself but I settled by taking my hip measurement real quick and I lost .5 inch. I found kombucha yesterday and I love it. It was a nice little pick me up yesterday while I was dress shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice little pick me up yesterday while I was dress shopping. Sorry, in addition to the no weighing rule, there is also a rule of not taking body measurements during a Whole30. So please hide the tape measure until you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
