kbfries Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Day 2 (don't bother looking for Day 1, I just got on the forums today ) Breakfast: I have taken the whole "Plan ahead" thing to heart. I knew I needed to get somewhere after spin this morning, so last night I hardboiled some eggs and packed a breakfast (3 hardboiled eggs, grape tomatoes with avocado, nut mix, and sliced oranges - I love www.easylunchboxes.com) to eat in the parking lot before I drove off. I also packed coconut milk to put in my Americano at Starbucks - yum Lunch: Paleo salad nicoise - spinach, tuna with homemade mayo, kalmatas, green beans, and lemon juice. Snack: Got the munchies in the afternoon, and I managed to keep it clean. Couple spoonfuls of almond butter, orange slices, mandarines, iced coffee w coconut milk, macademia nuts - small handful. I wasn't hungry, I was frustrated and bored. I managed to redirect myself at least once and I was at least aware of what I was doing while I was doing it - progress not perfection, right? I do think the fruit hit in the morning may have been to blame and/or too much cardio in the early am - tho I honestly wasn't hungry. Dinner: I have cooked up some grass fed ground beef and I am going to saute eggplant and cover them both with Muir Glen's pizza sauce - that stuff is crack!! Probably some olives on the side to keep my fats up. I do remember from doing this in the past that I need to keep my fats high to keep me on track, however, the 20+ years of lowfat brain washing making it hard sometimes... c'est la vie!

kbfries Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks, gals! Day 3 Breakfast: 2 Aidell's chicken apple sausages with onions sauteed in ghee, and a sliced tomato & 1/2 avocado both from my CSA. I had coffee w coconut milk around 10. Lunch: It was 1:30 and I realized I hadn't eaten since 9 and honestly had no interest (this is NOT typical for me), however, I remember what I read this morning in the Whole 30 Daily and that I can't trust my body just yet and to keep to the 3 meals at a minimum.... sooo... I made a spinach, tom, kalamata salad with a cucumber from my garden picked this morning and some cherry tomatoes from my CSA. I made a vinagrette using fresh herbs from my garden, too and leftover eggplant, tom, grassfed beef mix from last night. Dinner: We shall see, however, I know I need to plan ahead. I have a function at a bar tonight and I want to make sure I am satisfied before I get there, tho, I am honestly not worried. Club soda and lime please. Being DD makes is easier, too. I am thinking turkey patties w mashed guac, and fire roasted peppers and onions from TJ. I need to remember to pick up avocado oil this weekend to make more mayo, as I finished mine off yesterday - yummmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbfries Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Day 6 - apparently this is going to be an as I get to it journal I have been doing well and made it through the weekend even with 2 social engagements. Mostly I have just been t.i.r.e.d. and sleeping - lots. I am amazed at the lack of interest in food between meals and lack of cravings. Breakfast 8ish: egg, spinach, mushroom quiche I made last night, tomato w homemade mayo, coffee w coconut milk. Only ate a small slice of quiche and I thought I might be hungry early... and I was. Snack 11ish: small handful of almonds Lunch 1ish (late due to snack): coleslaw with ground turkey, kale chips, and black olives. Snack 5: starving while picking up my son - managed to avoid his snacks which aren't Whole30 friendly and dove into a handful of almonds when I got home. Dinner 545ish: Asian soup - this was awesome! I filled a bowl with green beans and enoki mushrooms, sliced some leftover steak on top, filled the bowl with chicken stock I had thrown in the crockpot yesterday and some coconut milk. Then I threw the whole lot in a pot and simmered, once it hit boiling I poured in a raw scrambled egg - voila egg drop soup! A touch of coconut aminos and rice wine vinegar. SUPER tasty! I don't think it had quite enough fat in it though, and am thinking of trying to make coconut butter in the blentec tonight and eating some with frozen berries - yum I need to remember to eat ENOUGH at meals to get me through to the next one, especially enough fat. My avocados are not ripe yet and I didn't realize how much I rely on them typically. Have a good night!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbfries Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Day 8 Ok. I am ready to be done with tired and cranky. Hanging in there. Wasn't I supposed to have "kill" mode last week? Breakfast: Turkey burger slider, kale, 2 poached eggs, 2 tomatoes, ghee Snack: Emotional compulsive eating - almond butter and a spoon... I know, I know... I am not replacing it once it is gone. Not enough brakes on this one. Lunch: Throw-it-all-in salad - coleslaw, roasted asparagus, roasted beets, cucumber, steak, homemade mayo, homemade vinaigrette, black olives. Very tasty. Dinner... lamb meat balls, sweet pot, cuc salad? Been sipping peppermint tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
