lacylu422 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 **Starting this log on Day 4** Realized today that nuts are not my friend in terms of snacking. It was my first day on Whole30 working from home—alone, all day, nothing but myself, the dog, and a whole kitchen full of food. I didn't cheat in terms of what I ate, but did snack, and too much at that. Also, I may be eating too much meat. I'm going to check my portions more tomorrow. Beating the afternoon munchies may be my dragon to slay. Otherwise, feeling pretty good. A few tummy troubles. Breakfast: sweet potato, apple, sausage hash with a baked egg coffee with coconut milk Lunch: leftover sloppy joe meat roasted potatoes broccoli Snack: almonds & raisins & cherries (oh my!) Dinner: zucchini noodles naked tomato sauce ground beef Tomorrow I hope to make mayo, sunshine sauce, and maybe BBQ sauce to have on hand. Snacks from here on will be veggies, and only if I'm really, truly hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Marla Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Are the nuts upsetting your stomach? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacylu422 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Marla, I'm just concerned that I'm eating them mindlessly—snacking away the afternoon without paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacylu422 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 **DAY 5** Good day today! Took a field trip up to the big Whole Foods in Boulder for sun butter and approved fish sauce. Ended up having lunch there — all on plan! Breakfast: sweet potato hash, sausage, and baked egg coffee with coconut milk Lunch: Indian carrot salad curried cauliflower salad stir fried green beans with walnuts and mushrooms chicken coconut curry Snack: almonds & raisins (better portion size) Dinner: pulled pork with Well Fed BBQ sauce coleslaw pickles sweet potato with ghee Also realized that I may NEED my snack, or need to change the times I eat, because I was starving at 3pm and could not make it to 6. Today I ate at 7am, 11am, 3pm, and 6:30pm, so it's about 4 hours between each meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacylu422 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 **DAY 6** Well, my first REAL test of not-eating-my-feelings willpower today: I was rear ended this afternoon. My first thought after driving away from doing the police report, etc.? "I don't want to cook dinner. We should go out." So, we went to Chipotle. And I did NOT eat chips (which I love) OR have a margarita (which I REALLY wanted). Breakfast: leftover ratatouille egg over easy coffee with coconut milk Lunch: chicken salad with whole30 mayo blueberries cashews celery leftover coleslaw Snack: apple 1 T almond butter sea salt Dinner: Chipotle salad bowl with carnitas fajita veggies pico de gallo guacamole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast: "cheaters" pho with homemade chicken and pork bone broth leftover London broil spices, onions, basil, etc. Lunch: hot dog and mustard (no bun) watermelon Snack: apple raisins almond butter with sea salt Dinner: pan-fried fish oven roasted potatoes coleslaw grapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy Marla Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looking good lacylu! I have a hard time not overeating macadamia nuts, and I found it easier to not overeat almond butter when I get the raw instead of the roasted. It's the little things.

(can't remember) Dinner: Dr. Weil's sweet potato poblano soup (NOT my favorite) **DAY 14** Friday Went out TWICE today! Had lunch planned with a friend, then got roped into going to a birthday dinner for a friend unexpectedly at the last minute. Friend tried to get me to cheat with champagne and birthday cake, but I held firm. There was cheese on my salad at lunch (even though I asked for it to be left off). Didn't have time to send it back, so I removed as much as possible, but probably ate a few crumbs of feta. Bacon vinaigrette was AWESOME. Should ask for the recipe.

lacylu422 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Caught my toddler's summer cold. Boo. We'll see how I do with no "comfort food" to nourish me, although I do have leftover chicken soup from last night. Lots of vitamin C and echinacea tea for me today. I noticed this morning that my jeans were looser straight out of the dryer, so that's good news! **Day 18** Breakfast: Lara bar banana coffee with coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacylu422 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 I did it! I made it all the way through and lost 9 pounds! Very happy. I stopped tracking my food because it just wasn't that important any more. I knew what to eat and what not to eat, so I just did it! Now that I'm going to be reintroducing foods in small quantities, I want to keep track of that and how I feel. **DAY 30** At a friend's house for dinner, and she put beans in the veggies. Last meal of the whole 30, and hard to pick them all out, so I ate a few. Noticed MAJOR gas later that night! Beano for me if I want to eat beans, I guess!! **DAY 31** Put a little celebratory milk in my coffee this morning, but no sugar. Planning on having a little cheese with dinner. Breakfast: Coffee with milk nectarine, raspberries coconut cream pecans Lunch: chili (no beans) wilted spinach Snack: grapes carnitas Dinner: pork carnitas salad guacamole salsa shredded cheese glass of wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
