GlennR Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I've been fairly good about hewing close to the Whole30 template since my first Whole30 in April 2014. But I indulged over the holidays, so here comes my second Whole30. Jan. 2, 2015 - DAY ONE Breakfast: 3 prosciutto-wrapped egg and kale muffins (prosciutto, kale, eggs, coconut milk), 1 small purple yam, 2/3 cup of strawberries and blueberries drizzled with coconut milk, mug of coffee Lunch: Russian salad (diced chicken, potatoes, carrots, apples, beets, and raisins mixed in homemade mayo), egg slices Dinner: 2 bratwursts with dijon mustard, sauerkraut, cocoa-toasted cauliflower, beets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutlifr Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ann...figure out ahead f time where you will have breakfast, check out their menu.. Scrambled eggs and veggies ought to be easy to find... Or have brekkie at home, and just have coffee with her at the restaurant. The highlight will be to spend quality time with niece, not really the eating part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennR Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Jan. 11, 2015 - DAY TEN Breakfast: 2 fried eggs over sweet potato hash, mini chicken apple sausages, 1/2 cup of raspberries and blueberries drizzled with coconut milk, mug of coffee Lunch: 2 pan-roasted chicken thighs, big bowl of salad (leafy greens, shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, and pecan pieces with balsamic dressing), 1/2 cup of cubed papaya drizzled with coconut milk Afternoon: Green tea Dinner: 3 salmon cakes (salmon, eggs, sweet potato, almond flour) with tartar sauce, roasted garlicky mushrooms, roasted cauliflower A third of the way through and I've been cruising more or less. None of the drama of my first Whole30 -- neither the highs nor the lows. Which is sad, in a way: despite the difficulties, my first Whole30 was a month of unbridled joy. I sort of miss that. However, I've been eating this way for over nine months now, with just minor offroading and a nine-day indulgence during the holidays. By now this diet is my routine. Other than a bit of craving about three days into this round, and finding a need to adjust my protein and fat intake (I've gotten hungry several times between meals or late at night), all is going well. But this is good, too. It's a poor journey that is all ascent; time must also be spent on the long trudge on the plain. It all counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole30 Certified Coach littleg Posted January 13, 2015 Whole30 Certified Coach Share Posted January 13, 2015 That lox omelette sounds good. I've been craving lox but without the cream cheese I don't want to spend $20/lb on them (though it does seem silly that the cream cheese is what I needed to *enjoy* the $20/lb food item!) As a NYer it might be terrible to say, but I do not miss the bagel, just the cream cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennR Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 My food dreams are getting meta: I dreamed I unthinkingly ate a slice of cake, and when I realized I had gone off-plan, I was so upset. Then I woke up and realized it was a dream, and felt so relieved; I was still on track for my Whole30. Then I woke up and realized that that was a dream, and felt wha -- ? I like it when things start getting goofy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
