heidilc717 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Anyone else spending their long (US) holiday weekend meal prepping? I'm living life on the edge and starting on a Tuesday. Anyone else joining me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandagannon Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm in. I'm still trying to figure out all that I need to do so I need some time. Tuesday sounds like a great time to start so lets do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidilc717 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm still figuring everything out too but I've already been doing some shopping and am really excited to try some of these recipes. There is a lot out there to choose from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julsb Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm starting Tues too. I've finally decided to admit I'm addicted to sugar and it's time to do something about it! Feel pretty comfortable with planning so far. I also signed up for the whole30 daily! I'm hoping that will give me some great tips. The plan is to make a new lifestyle in 30 days and then continue it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audmeighan Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm starting my second Whole 30 Tuesday as well. I'm really hoping to use this forum for support more this time because I fell off the wagon hard last year. I feel horrible and can barely get out of bed every morning, so I'm ready for superclean eating and getting back on the paleo track! Good luck, y'all!

LegallyGoofy Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm in, starting on Tuesday too! I will be traveling tuesday and wednesday and I am up for the challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidilc717 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm nervous too but ready to do it! Finishing up my food prep tomorrow. Every recipe I've made so far is amazing (chocolate chili, best chicken, sunshine sauce) so I'm happy with how everything is turning out! I know it's a little early in the game, but does anyone have a favorite recipe yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindyJules Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm starting Tuesday with the bare minimum of supplies and high hopes of getting through Saturday, when I can do the rest of my shopping. I should be able to get through 4 days of eating salads, hard boiled eggs and grilled meats and veggies. My biggest hurdle is that hubby is not on board. He thinks it's "too extreme.". But I need this. I can't get through a day without some kind of sweets, am tired ALL the time and typically resort to some overprocessed " food" source for lunch at least a few times a week.

LindyJules Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Oh! And good luck everyone! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidilc717 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 I hear you, LindyJules! Those are the exact reasons I'm doing this too! My husband totally supports me doing this, but is a bigger sugar and junk food junkie than I am. He's also an ultra-marathoner with 7% body fat so he works off everything he puts in his mouth. The jerk. I bet your husband will be more supportive once he sees the changes in you, so you could let that be your motivation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jacky Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am also starting tomorrow and have been prepping and getting ready! I just found this support board and can use all I can get! So excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjessica Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm starting my 3rd W30 on Tuesday as well! The first one was great, the second tougher. I've kept pretty clean since both of those, but not as of recently. I'm now pregnant and finally (hopefully!) over morning sickness and want to do another to another to reset back into "normal" eating. I have also gotten out of prepping food in advance and am seeing how that's essential for me. Hubs is fine with me eating whatever I want, but he's in no way going along with it. I've tried to make our meals acceptable for both of us, which usually means adding veg for me, starch/bread/cheese for him. I'll never get Ritz, cheddar, or tortilla chips out of our house, but it's still not been impossible to survive through it. Tough some days, but not impossible My favorite meal by far is making fresh rolls with nori and Sunshine Sauce for dipping. I love food that you can eat with your hands. I also really like the Fried Chicken Liver recipe in Well Fed 2, with tomatoes and apple slices. (Something I would neevveerr have ventured if not for a W30! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmcbrien Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I am starting my 2nd (or 3rd) attempt at my 2nd Whole 30 - first one went great but fell off and have been struggling at restarting. Good luck all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julsb Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Favorite recipe: I've been on a roasted romaine kick lately. Just pop it in the oven at 425 for 10 min then drizzle with little evoo and salt and pepper and put back in for 5 min or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jacky Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Anyone who would like to have a support buddy, please message me! I know I can use the extra help too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidilc717 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 JustJacky, I hope you post here as well for support. I need all the help I can get too! Anyone posting their food,etc on Instagram? I'm posting there as heidilc717 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriegonnab50 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would like to get some friends starting Tuesday for daily support also! Instagram sounds like easy posting of food ideas. I'm going this alone, I need it! I keep telling myself this only 30 days. I think daily accountability and and support will help. Heidilc717 I'll follow you on Instagram , thank you already for encouraging post😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jacky Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I will check out Instagram too. I wasn't planning on utilizing it for my own tracking but I certainly am interested in following others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm starting tomorrow too! This will be my second full Whole30 (I also did a W14 in January). My first was last July/August, and I've been eating mostly Paleo since then (pretty much everything I cook for myself is W30, with a little more leeway when I eat out). I just got back from a two-week vacation and I'd been offroading more than usual even before that, so I'm really looking forward to a reset! Good luck to everyone - you're going to feel awesome when you're done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carriegonnab50 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Carrielf is my Instagram. Following whole30 recipes , so inspired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johniflek Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm also starting whole30 for the first time tomorrow. Spent the last week reading up. I think my challenge will revolve around the family, my wife and 2 young girls. Wife is on board for the most part so should be an interesting adventure. Other big issue will be no alcohol. Not saying I'm a lush or anything but one of our favorite summertime past-times is having a few drinks by the pool with friends and we're entering into swim season here in AZ...

LindyJules Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just finished boiling some eggs, cutting up veggies for my salad and setting aside my food for tomorrow. Also finished off a mostly empty bottle of wine, my favorite cheese from the fridge and will be eating my final piece of birthday cake in about 15 minutes. The kids will be happyto finish off the rest tomorrow. Getting excited, but my trip to the grocery store made me realize that I have more reading to do before my next shopping trip!
