The Captains Log


Recommended Posts

Sci fi fans might get a giggle out of that title :) So I'm Barry, from Dublin Ireland. This is my first public whole30, I have taken the challenge once before but this time I'm doing it a bit more visibly. Hoping to keep a log here, on my facebook and my instagram mostly to keep track of my own progress and any mistakes. But also to help anyone else thinking of taking the leap.

Tomorrows meal plans:

 

M1 - Eggs bacon and avacado

M2 - Chicken salad and some strawberrys

M3 - Irish stew and riced/smashed cauli

 

Other - Water, tea without milk or sugar (not looking forward to the latter)

 

Workout - Yoga stretching and some free weights.

 

Looks good except your M1 is lacking vegetables. The avocado is your fat. Also be sure your bacon is compliant. Best of luck to you on your journey!

Yeah thats a fair point Physibeth thanks. My meal prep time in the mornings is non existant so I'll have to try chomping on some raw carrot or celary sticks maybe. Need to increase my veg intake in any case. Thanks everyone! I'm off to a good start today already need to work on some meal plans tonight for this week though.

 

Oh my bacon comes from a friends local farm, nothing added :)

You could also pre-cook a crustless quiche or frittata as quick meal 1 options. Personally I throw a couple of big handfulls of kale or spinach and cook down with sea salt and then scramble my eggs into that. Doesn't take that much more prep time than just making the eggs. I also really enjoy raw sauerkraut with my first meal.

Day 2 is shapped up as:

 

M1 - Curly kale ommlette (great idea thank you!)

M2 - Over roast chicken and veg (mashed carrot onion and sweet potato prepped last night)

M3 - Fresh cod with brocolli cauli and turnip

Other - Water, tea without milk or sugar. Coffee the same.

 

Have a really bad cold/flu so probably going to have a paracetamol or three. Thats what I get for walking around in a tshirt on a cold evening.

 

Workout - Cardio... if I'm able. As it stands I cant breath very well but it might help

Okkkkk. So Day 4 never actually happened. I slept basically for like 18 hours and eat nothing with this flu. I think all I had was two small glasses of water.

Anyway day 5 worked out as:

 

M1: Egg ham, onion and kale quiche (made of egg)

M2: Strips of steak and a side of cauli

M3: Chicken wrapped in bacon. Side of carrot, turnip and onion mashed (very yum)

Other Water.

I then cleaned the house for five hours straight, thats exercise right? :)

 

Today (day 6)

M1: Handful of cashew, avacado and a fried egg (rush job)

M2: Bacon bits, ground port sausage, and salad

M3: Roast chicken, cauli, brocolli, carrots and a small amount of peas

Other: Water, tea.

Workout: P90X3 Abs. And some free weights shoulders chest and arms

 

Tomorrow (day 7)

M1: Steak and onions (early start so somethings better than nothing)

M2: Ribs. I dont care how long it takes to cook i want dry rub ribs. Craving em. And side salad.

M3: Roast ham, roast vegi's (turnip, shallots, onions, sweet potato)

Other: Water and some green tea

Workout: Gonna hit the gym. Do a run and the bike for a while. Might have a swim after too.
