Tina R Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't know what type of diet you were eating before your whole30 but it you ate bread or pasta you were eating way more calories than you are now. The first week is the hardest trying to figure out how much to eat. You'll get the hang of it. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyRose Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hi, Tina. No bread or pasta. You know what I think it is - I usually eat lots of small meals/snack a lot, so I feel like I'm eating a TON in one sitting If you don't think what I had for lunch is overboard, then I'm going with it! I ate at noon today and am just now starting to feel hungry (5 hours later), so maybe that's a good indicator that it is a good amoutn of food for me as I plan on eating dinner here in the next hour. Thanks for the reply! Emily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyRose Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Day 4 Log Woke feeling bloated and tired. Cuoldn't find the energy to run, so I layed outside and read a book instead Breakfast 2 Hard-boiled eggs Tomatoes 1/4 avocado Kombucha Handfull plantain chips Lunch (driving most the day and forgot veggies :/) Pork chop 1/4 avocado Dinner (also on the road) Salad with chicken breast, tons of veggies, olive oil/balsamic 1/2 lara bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyRose Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Day 5 Woke feeling energized. Ran 4.5 miles and did yard work and was still full of energy Pre-workout meal 1 Hard-boiled egg half larabar Breakfast 2 hard-boiled eggs Banana 1/2 avocado Lunch (at a bridal shower, had to get creative) Compliant bacon green salad, no dressing Tons of fruit Dinner homemade guacamole veggies for dipping 1/2 adelle's sausage 1/2 larabar I'm not one for cooking, so keeping things as basic as possible. Think I need to cut the larabars out (except for running fuel) as I feel I'm using them as a substitute for after-meal sweets :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyRose Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Day 6 Woke tired (long day yesterday). Happy it's Monday as I feel I can get back on well-planned meals. My weekend was so crazy and I didn't have time Thursday to pre-plan meals so I had to get creative. Never thought I'd be happy to see Monday! I've been feeling pretty bloated since I started Whole30, which I am surprised by. Wondering what I'm eating that isn't working with my body. Worried it might be eggs. Or certain veggies I'm eating...I'm going to watch things closely this week and see if I can figure it out Breakfast Banana 3 Eggs Small Tomatoes (20) 1/4 larabar Lunch Salad - cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, chicken breast, sweet potato Dinner apple with homemade almond butter ground chicken sauteed in ghee with onion and mushrooms 1/4 larabar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyRose Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Day 7 I can't believe I've hit the week mark! I can't say it's been hard, but I think that's because I've given in to the sugar dragon a few times with the larabar. Which means I just have to stop buying. I had purchased to cut up and eat during long runs and instead have had almost one a day split up between meals. Not good. No more larabars . I have felt tired and bloated for the majority of the last week, but am feeling energized and good today. Hope this feeling stays! Breakfast (following 3 mile run) Banana Two eggs baked in a bell pepper with sautee of ground chicken, onion, and mushrooms Lunch Salad - cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, sweet potato and balsamic 3/4 cup ground chicken, onion, mushroom sautee I didn't have dinner - went home sick from work - snacked on a few things from bed - almonds/coconut flakes/raisins and plantain chips.

EmilyRose Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Day 8 So far, besides some bloating and a few rough outtings surrounded by delicious food and drink, this has been pretty easy! I probably won't be saying that the whole way through, but so far, I haven't had too many major cravings or thoughts of falling off the wagon. Energy levels were up and down for a few days but the last three have been pretty great. Breakfast Bell pepper - sliced and dipped in 2 Tbsp Wholly Guacamole 2 eggs Banana Ka-vita drink - one with compliant ingredients Lunch Sweet potato 1 egg Baby sweet peppers dipped in wholly guacamole Dinner Chicken Baked veggie mix - zucchini, squash, sweet potato, brussel sprout w/olive oil and ghee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyRose Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Day 10 Day 9 was such a crazy blur at work that I honestly can't remember what I ate and wasn't able to log on, but I stayed compliant!! Feeling great on Day 10 - sleeping well, tons of energy, running feels great, stomach flatter, and clothes fitting a tiny bit better! Motivation!! Run small serving of plantain chips, almond butter, and raisins after a three mile run Breakfast 2 eggs veggie mix - squash, zucchini, sweet potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
