Jalopy Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Christine19, I do eat fish. Hubby's allergic to shellfish so I don't cook it at home but I'll check out the health food store for frozen fish. Our other local stores only have farmed fish - gross. Today was my best day so far. My energy was up there and my mood was great! But my pants are snug! What's up with that? Anybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miskatie86 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I read that around these days (8-11 maybe?) our stomachs are adjusting and bloating, constipation, diarrhea are normal. I've been bloated for two days but I heard not to get discouraged so I'm hanging in there. Should resolve within the week according to It Starts With Food.

GFChris Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Today was my best day so far. My energy was up there and my mood was great! But my pants are snug! What's up with that? Anybody else? Sounds like you're right on track with the Whole30 timeline. http://whole30.com/2013/08/revised-timeline/ Hang in there: it should pass soon.

Amandyla Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That meatball recipe sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it! Day 10 here, had a few rough days, now my sinuses are clogged andvrinning, and I feel so run down....hope it's the whole39, and bot a sinus infection....I hate those! Had a few cravings for chocolate but distracted myself long enough, and they went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeChristina Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Good bye to day 10! Hard day for me. I must need to up my starchy veggies. Very low energy in morning, foggy head ... actually walked into door frames at work a couple of times. Started feeling that racing-heart feeling (like when I have caffeine). Ate an early lunch and added a serving of fruit. It helped a little. Looking forward to seeing the energy boost (gosh I hope!!!) sooner than later! Good news is I'm still in the game ... no thoughts of quitting during this day 10/11 stage :-) Feel better Amandayla! Lot of recommendations for bone broth when you don't feel well. I haven't made it yet, but a friend says it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christine19 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 They should call day 13 'tapeworm day' OMG I was starving this afternoon and had a big salad for lunch with all sorts of protein but I guess shrimp is not 'beefy' enough! Yes the energy keeps getting better every day now and trust me the tight pants thing goes away. The half way point is magic time I can feel it! Rock on everyone!!!!!

Jalopy Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Day 11 done! I felt pretty darn good today and since I woke up that way I didn't want to ruin it by being reminded that my pants are snug so I wore a looser pair today! Ha! Take that, body changes!

librarygirl Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Day 10 is coming to an end. Really wanted something sweet tonight but I didnt cave. Planning on making soup tomorrow since the weather has turned very cold. Great to see everyone sticking with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NazzaB Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just finished up day 12 here and I am finding it hard not to snack still. My morning snacks are okay but I'm finding it tough sometimes between lunch and dinner. Because my schedule is all over the place some days I am more hungry than others but I am finding my meals are making me really full but I am only staying satiated for maybe 4 hours - which is good but sometimes I need longer!

NazzaB Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I need to come up with some more compliant mini meal ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I need to come up with some more compliant mini meal ideas Off the top of my head: - egg, chicken, tuna or salmon salad made with homemade mayo with a sweet potato on the side - hard boiled egg with sliced peppers (the egg yolk counts as fat) - compliant prosciutto with cucumber and olives - sardines, sauerkraut and sliced avocado - smoked salmon, wilted spinach with compliant dressing and/or walnuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine-O Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Careful...many type of smoked salmon are made with sugar! Also,think of apples/bananas with almond butter[] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NazzaB Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks GF Chris. I've been a bit under prepared this week/been hungrier than I expected so haven't had enough food on hand. Elaine-O I snack too much on fruit and nuts. Trying to avoid it. It's very SWYPO for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeChristina Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Day 11 done. Spent the afternoon in the kitchen. Crockpot meatballs - very good (different than the usual, but passed the family pickiness). More flavor than I expected. Zucchini ginger soup - super easy to make! Spicy tuna cakes - love them!!! So easy, so much flavor ... and a quick grab for any meal. Restaurant style salsa - also easy. Turned out surprisingly spicy (yum) ... makes a ton AND it freezes!! Went to the movies later. No temptation for popcorn or candy ... whew. It was a good way to spend the evening without centering on food. Came home to meatballs waiting for dinner! Had a momentary wish for some of the sweet goodies I made today (promised my son for his trip back to college tomorrow) ... but it passed pretty easily. Still waiting on my energy!!! Maybe tomorrow ... Have a good night all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christine19 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Got my order of Pre-made Paleo food today so finally didn't have to cook - just put it in boiling water while I worked out! I had chipotle shredded pork with sliced sweet potatoes and kale....yummy. And tomorrow I will have a pork sausage skillet for breakfast - I've had before and they are tasty. Tomorrow is my half-time ---> day 15....feels much longer with all this focus and effort. Need to get some sleep this weekend, I've not slept more than 6.25 hours any day this week.

Elaine-O Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 SWYPO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 SWYPO is "sex with your pants on". It is using compliant ingredients to make things like pancakes, muffins, cookies, etc. Recreating junk food with paleo ingredients. http://whole30.com/2011/10/sex-with-your-pants-on. On the other hand, "food with no brakes" are less healthy foods that you just can't seem to stop eating. Compliant jerky falls into this category for me. For some it's dried fruit, grapes, coconut butter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeChristina Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ann - good to see you on this thread. When I was "wandering" around the forums, I stumbled on your logs (thanks to the links below your post!). I enjoyed reading them and enjoy following along. You seem to "speak my language" with your thoughts and it helps to see someone else in action! Have a good Whole30 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeChristina Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 C-ya Day 12! I felt a bit better today (energy wise). Maybe this is the turning point ... please, please, please ... I hope!!! Work-out was slow and hard at first, but picked up a lot this time. I seem to be in a happy mood too :-) (although I'm enjoying a few days off work - that always makes me happy!) Have to say ... food today was AWESOME!! Best meals I've had so far! Glad I spent time cooking the new recipes - makes it easy and interesting. Onto lucky day 13 ...

GFChris Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Careful...many type of smoked salmon are made with sugar! Also,think of apples/bananas with almond butter[] Good point on the smoked salmon. While bananas, apples and almond butter are compliant, for best results, the recommended snack is a mini-meal of protein, veg and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30. Limit your fruit to have with or immediately after your main meals only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchbetteru Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Wow, feeling a lot better. Made roasted butternut squash with old bay and Slap yo momma seasoning. Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
