rmhallowell Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My husband and I have a 8 month old baby and both of us are still trying to recover from new parenthood. The kiddo is so fun and he's a wonderful baby, but we are both extremely out of shape, which is very uncharacteristic for us. So here we are... our first Whole 30. I love vegetables so eating them in any fashion is no problem for me. Hubs, on the other hand, only eats them if they are disguised in a sauce or something. My weakness is my sweet tooth. Keeping that under control is my ultimate challenge. DAY 1 Meal 1: 2 eggs, chicken apple sausage (no nitrates or sugar), sauteed spinach Meal 2: Homemade chicken and vegetable soup Snack: Fruit smoothie with cashew milk, carrots, and spinach Meal 3: Paprika chicken breast, mashed potatoes, spinach, and carmelized bananas Snack: Handful of nuts (almonds and pistachios) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutlifr Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If snack is needed, it is recommended to have proteins and fat. They don't recommend liquid food on this program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmhallowell Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Day 5 - So far, so good Meal 1: Banana pancakes (yuck) with almond butter, orange slices, 2 slices of bacon Meal 2: Flank steak with chimichurri and guacamole, salad with salsa, potatoes, and mushrooms. Snack: Macadamia and cashew mix. Today was difficult. Pal didn't sleep and neither did I. Hubs took Pal while I slept until 11 then we were out all day. I wasn't starving and dinner was great. Tomorrow is going to be a challenge since we are going snowboarding and staying overnight in a slope side condo (rough life, I know). But we won't be able to indulge in greasy pizza, beer, and hot chocolate... so I have to make all of our food tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
