jent103 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Meal 2 - bacon burger with peach compote, broccoli salad, carrots dunked in mayo Meal 3 - kale salad with plain burger on top, plus some almonds later (takeout on the way to a friend's, hungry when I got home) Movement: 45-minute walk in the park with a friend Sleep: not quite eight hours; not great quality (had weird dreams - finally had the Whole30 cheating dreams, but not even about anything good - generic tortilla chips and crackers, what? also dreamed that I was in Orange Is the New Black, which is especially odd since I've never seen the show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jent103 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Meal 2 - salmon cakes, remoulade, grilled zucchini, I think sugar snap peas? Meal 3 - bacon burger, mayo, tomato peach salad, broccoli salad Sleep: eight hours Saturday: Pre-workout - hard-boiled egg with mayo before yoga (I rarely do pre- or post-workout meals, since I'm not really lifting or anything and honestly can't be bothered that early in the morning, but I'm always ravenous during these early yoga classes, so I thought I'd give it a try. Not sure it helped, but it didn't hurt!) Meal 1 - scramble, eggs, kraut, coffee Meal 2 (super late) - two salmon cakes, remoulade, carrots dunked in mayo Meal 3 - CSA pork chop with peach compote, sauteed zucchini, tomato peach salad Movement - power flow class Sleep - eight hours Sunday: Meal 1 (small, before church) - two small salmon cakes, remoulade, sugar snap peas Meal 2 - scramble, eggs, kraut, coffee Meal 3 - pork chop, peach compote, zucchini, tomato peach salad Movement - hour-long walk around the lake Sleep - eightish hours, with a long wakeup at 5:20 thanks to the guy across the street who feels the need to remote start his Mustang and leave it running awhile every day Monday: Meal 1 - scramble, eggs, kraut, coffee Three days left. I am so ready to be able to eat out easily again. I have a friend in town who is infamous for last-minute plans, and apparently we are maybe hanging out tonight and I didn't have time to make/pack dinner, which means I'll either eat something I'm not excited about or wait till I'm ravenous when I get home to eat. Eating Paleo out is easy. Eating Whole30 out is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Meal 2 - bacon burger, peach compote, sugar snap peas, slaw with napa cabbage, apple, carrot, radishes and zingy ginger dressing (Well Fed 2) Had a few roasted almonds on my way to meet friends at a restaurant where I got club soda. They picked a new Chicago deep dish pizza place. I said "I'll just get a drink, I'm not eating pizza right now;" they said "there's a lot of other stuff on the menu!" Most of that was bruschetta... risotto balls... wings... you get the idea. Meal 3 - ate ridiculously late when I got home due to unexpected changes in plans with friends. Peruvian roast chicken (leg/thigh and wing), lime cumin mayo, sauteed pattypan squash, tomato peach salad Sleep: Eightish hours Tuesday: Meal 1 - scramble, eggs, kraut, coffee Meal 2 - Turkish meatballs dunked in garlic mayo (both from Well Fed 2. oh my goodness so good.), slaw with ginger dressing, probably a small cucumber's worth of pickles (homemade) Meal 3 - other leg/thigh/wing of the Peruvian chicken, lime cumin mayo, sauteed squash, citrus cauliflower rice. Still genuinely hungry after dinner, so I ate a hard boiled egg with mayo and salt. Sleep: Sevenish hours, though it took awhile to fall asleep. Alarm went off at 5:20 for yoga. Wednesday - LAST DAY!: Pre-workout - hard boiled egg with mayo Meal 1 - scramble, eggs, kraut, coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 DONE. Yay! To finish out yesterday - Meal 2 - Turkish meatballs, garlic mayo, pickles, grilled zucchini Meal 3 - Salmon cakes with remoulade, slaw with ginger dressing, citrus cauliflower rice Movement - yoga in the morning Sleep - about seven hours I went to a friend's house last night and did have a glass and a half of red wine. I considered it my first reintro. I did feel pretty unfiltered after that , but that's a pretty big amount for me in general so that's not unexpected. Feeling no ill effects from it today as far as I can tell (tired, but I'm still catching up on sleep and only got seven hours last night, so I think that's not really due to the wine). Lessons I learned from this go-round I didn't see huge changes in my body composition or anything like that; for me, personally, I think this Whole30 has shown me that I had a pretty good handle on food before. The previous month definitely had more off-roading than was good for me, between special occasions and a two-week vacation, but that's unusual and I definitely felt the effects. It was really good to have a reset, but I'm glad to be back to my "normal" (which is very nearly W30 when cooking at home, with grassfed butter and the occasional honey, and probably 80% Paleo when I eat out). So now I need to really focus on sleep, stress and movement, keeping my food choices conscious but not quite so strict. I'm in the process of getting a sit/stand desk at work, which I'm so excited about - my job is extremely computer-oriented, so I sit nine hours a day at the office plus whatever else. I'm going to make sleep a much bigger priority and try as much as I can to get walks in. My office is right across from a park with mile loop walking trail, and it's summer, so I really have no excuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
