BrandiSCollins Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 So, I didn't start one of these at first because I RARELY make it past day 2 of any sort of "plan". But, here I am on day 5 (I started a day late) and I've been completely on plan and aside from a minor headache, I feel freaking awesome!! Empowered and in complete control. Also a first. So, here goes. I dunno what I'm gonna track, but I'll figure it out as I go. Breakfast: 2 Cage Free scrambled eggs 1/2 avocado with lemon juice 9 grape tomatoes no additives salsa Lunch: (wild caught) cod fillet - broiled with garlic and lemon steamed asparagus 1/2 sweet potato with coconut milk 1/2 avocado with lemon juice Dinner: Grass fed ribeye steak (grilled) sauteed oninos steamed broccoli fresh mango slices So, all in all, a pretty good day. On plan. Woot! I did notice that I sneezed about 34958364597 times, which is a little more than I normally do (thank you allergies) and the headache kicked in after lunch. Also, I've noticed some stomach discomfort, which I think is just "gassy". I'm assuming my "worse before better" has started. I did sleep well, though.

BrandiSCollins Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Breakfast: Leftover grass fed ribeye, sliced thin and sauteed in some coconut oil onions sauteed in coconut oil with sea salt BEST BREAKFAST EVER *It was a little small, but I've never been a breakfast person, so I'm doing the best I can with this.* On another note, I freaking LOVE coconut oil!!! Lunch: leftover ribeye with onions 1/4 sweet potato with coconut milk broccoli fresh mango Also, I checked my sleep efficiency for last night on my tracker...99% efficiency!! I only woke up 2 times, as opposed to 7-9 previously. Woot!! Dinner: Eggvacado Steamed asparagus fresh mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandiSCollins Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Woke up to no power for a bit this morning, so my morning was thrown off from the start. Along with a clingy 3 year old, which made it even more difficult. So, breakfast was pretty small, but I did make time to have it, so that's a plus. Though, I'm starving now and about to heat up lunch. Breakfast: Eggvacado 1/2 organic banana Roughhhhhhhh day at work!!! Lunch: organic ground beef steamed asparagus fresh mango Headed to the gym after work!!! Dinner:Grass fed ribeye Sautéed onions Mashed cauliflower, which is amazing!! 50 minutes of cardio after work, grocery shopping, wrangling a 3 year old, laundry and bathing the dog. Good lord I'm tired!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandiSCollins Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ugh. Today is day 12, and also "kill all the things". I thought maybe I'd bypassed the worst of it, but I keep catching myself fantasizing about punching people in the jaw. I had NO desire to eat this morning, I'm having issues with sweet potatoes getting stuck (post lap band surgery and just had it tightened), so I'm frustrated. I haven't even eaten the equivalent of a whole meal today. Add to all this that I'm feeling hormonal (though, I'd like to write a letter to the Mirena people, if they can stop periods, WTF can't they stop the moodiness too???), and no one in my immediate vicinity is safe. I want to sit in the middle of the grocery store with a mountain of cookies and chips and make myself feel as physically horrible and I feel mentally.

BrandiSCollins Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 BIG FAT FAIL. I'm sooooo disappointed in myself right now. My Whole30 ended on day 16 (Friday) when my husband and I went out for dinner. I did the best I could, ordered a steak, dry, even swapped out the sides. Got my meal only to realize what "plantain crema" was, I guess I didn't really consider it when I saw it on the menu. Not only did I eat it, but I had 2 bites of my husband's "corn pudding". You know, "what the hell....". I'm sooooooooooo mad at myself!!! I recovered ok on Saturday and Sunday and my "what the hell" didn't go any further than the 2 bites of corn pudding. Today started off ok, aside from the fact that we had to get ready in the dark because the power went out and I couldn't fix breakfast. Fast forward to DROPPING MY OLDEST OFF FOR HIS FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN and I'm a total basket case. I'm counting the minutes until I can go get him. I just had a piece of cheese. :/ I don't even know what to do with myself. I literally feel like I have the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. I need to take a day to gather myself. I'm a freaking mess. I wish I could find a hole to crawl into for a while. Unfortunately, hubby is all the way across the country for work, so I must keep going. :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
