tahoecorgilover Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm finding it hard to keep tabs on all of the people who started the Whole 30 the same day I did. How are you all doing now that we've made it to Day 2? Is it what you expected? How are you feeling? How is the meal planning going? I've had a bit of nausea and some headaches. I actually began last Friday so this is my Day 5, but not officially. I don't think I'm drinking enough water so I'm concentrating on that today. It's always been a challenge to drink as much water as I'm supposed to. I was hungry the first day but fixed that by eating more food. Imagine that? I'm spending a lot of time in the grocery store and health food store too. Stocking up on vegies. Just wondering how everybody is doing. Drop a line if you have the time.

Sif Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I am doing good, feel like some of the energy is coming back. But cravings are getting worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sif Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 and ohh meal planning is going ok, feel like I am eating the same stuff over and over again.. I swear if I eat more eggs for breakfast I will kill someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoecorgilover Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oh how I know what you mean! I found a breakfast I really like though. Scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes (diced), and hamburger. Stir altogether. I eat my greens separately but you could put your vegies in it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sif Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I made mayo the other night so I had a tuna salad with mayo and cucumber and onions and them some lettuche on the side for breakfast on sunday. This morning fried eggs tasted so good! Think I will do the tuna thing maybe 2 times a week then I wont always be eating the same thing, have you made mayo ? It is really good with tuna!

tahoecorgilover Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Were there any issues making the mayo? I've heard it's a little tricky. I'm going to try it when my stick blender comes from Amazon (probably this Weds.). I need to branch out a bit in my diet. Eating the same things. So far it's worked for me but I know I'l tire of it soon. Have you tried the salmon cakes? I might try that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjosey77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Mayo is not that hard with the hand blender. I used to think that you needed for everything to be room temp and that doesn't even matter. I use the clothes makes the girl recipe and it is great. I put everything in a cup and use my emersion blender and I have mayo in a matter of seconds. I make mayo all the time and it really is very simple. one large 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp of salt 2 TB of lemon juice (I squeeze mine) 1 and 1/4 cup of LIGHT olive oil. (DON'T USE EXTRA VIRGIN, too strong) or you can use Grapeseed, Avocado oil up to you I use a glass drinking glass that fits my blender and then go to town! You can do it. And it is great to use to make dressings, dips, etc etc. I am on day 7 and it is going well! The past two days were tough with the carb withdrawals. The cravings are there with a passion but I have had them before so I am ready to fight them! Yes, make sure you are drinking plenty of water, it makes a difference.

Sif Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It was so easy! I used a stick blender as i thought using a regular would be harder! took no time at all just first put the egg and lemon juice in and let them come to a room temperature about 30 minutes then mix in the rest and use the stick blender!

tahoecorgilover Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've never heard of light olive oil. What does the bottle actually say on it? I can't hardly wait. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjosey77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've never heard of light olive oil. What does the bottle actually say on it? I can't hardly wait. Laurie It literally says "Extra Light Olive Oil" Bertolli makes some that is easy to find at most stores. If you have a BJ warehouse near you they have a coupon for $3.50 off a large bottle. So it is less than $15! I got mine yesterday. http://www.bertolli.com/canadese-e/bertolli-products_cae.asp?country=cae〈=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoecorgilover Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thank you! It helps to have the manufacturer name. Going to the store today and I'll see if I can find it. Maybe in the regular section - not the organic section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjosey77 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 As long as it is pure olive oil it can any type you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoecorgilover Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 So went to the store and found the extra light olive oil. And it was on sale for $7.99! Got the dry mustard too. Bought a canning jar to put the mayo in. Just waiting for the stick blender and I'm off and running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
