Nermal6873 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thought I'd jot down some of the reasons for wanting to try Whole30 so I can look back when I'm done to see if I'm getting the results I wanted. Better sleep (fall asleep faster, stay asleep at night), which will hopefully correspond with higher energy levels. Get rid of my acne. Get rid of my indigestion that recently started again Get rid of sugar! I don't have a sugar dragon, I have a sugar demon that takes over my entire being. I think this and dairy will be the hardest. Losing weight and/or inches is of course a nice bonus! A little nervous getting started, since I've been eating vegetarian (with occasional fish) for about 8 months now. It will be interesting to see what happens once I get into this. Here goes nothing! Hopefully I remember to update my log every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nermal6873 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Day one is done! Crazy-hectic between work and trying to get my shopping done and food prepped. Ate way too late, so got too hungry, but didn't have prepping done yet. But, managed to stay on-track! Should be less snacks tomorrow, since I had a chance to cook tonight and now have some stuff pre-made (sweet potatoes, breakfasts for on-the-go, etc). Breakfast- 2.5 eggs (daughter ate some) with bulletproof coffee (1TBSN coconut oil, sprinkle of cinnamon). Snack- Homemade larabar (dates, almonds, dried non-sweetened cherries). Was starving after picking up DD and didn't have anything made yet. Lunch (not until around 2!)- can of tuna with 1/2 avocado smushed into it- surprisingly good! Baked sweet potato with cinnamon Dinner- Garlic ginger pork chop, riced cauliflower, other 1/2 avocado. Was still hungry but had to take DS to taekwando. Snack- spoonful of almond butter, left-over broccoli from tomorrow's prep. Definitely didn't eat enough with each meal. Will do better tomorrow! But yay for at least staying compliant!

Nermal6873 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Day 2- headache for lots of day Breakfast- 3 broccoli egg "muffins", 1/2 avocado, green tea Lunch- shredded chicken, baked sweet potato, banana with almond butter Dinner- bell pepper sloppy joes with arugula lemon salad. Yummy! Sipped on infused water throughout the day, which seemed to help a little with the hungries. Really tired, but might be just due to bit sleeping well last few nights with vacation and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
