ThyPeace Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 So today is Day 1 of my second Whole 30. I will probably forget to use the usual "Meal 1" nomenclature, so if I say "Breakfast," I hope you know what I mean. I started today because DH is out of town for a few days, and I have an easier time doing this when he's not home. He's supportive and eats pretty clean, but just doesn't love eating Whole30 -- and has fewer tummy issues than I do, so is not as motivated as I am. That said, he grilled me chicken, butternut squash, and potatoes last night while I was doing DD's birthday party -- punch, pizza, and ice cream cake, good grief. Breakfast this morning was later than usual; DD has the day off of school, so we didn't get up until almost 7am. Then DH was leaving, so I delayed. Ate around 8:20. Two eggs, sauteed cabbage, red pepper, and sweet potato (previously baked), in coconut oil. Slced tomatoes, tea. Hungry by 10:30. Stretched it some, but gave in at 10:50am. I was ready for steamed fish and broccoli, so well, yeah. Hungry. Grilled chicken, baked potato, grilled butternut squash, celery and carrot sticks, butter and olive oil for the potato and chicken, cherries, blueberries. Purposely ate more than I did at breakfast, but even 20 minutes after I finished eating, I'm not full. No longer starving, but definitely not full. Come to think of it... I'm going to supplement with some coconut cream. Hope that helps. Now it's time to run a bunch of errands. Need to be home by 4pm and eat by 5:30 -- we have food packing duty at the food pantry tonight, so will have to be back out by 6:30. ThyPeace, taking donations to the pantry this afternoon, but can't clear the house of all of the non-plan food. DH and DD would starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyPeace Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Rest of Day 1: Survived a trip to a burger place with DD. Wasn't hungry, so didn't eat anything, but oh, the smells. I remembered, about halfway through the afternoon, that the pain and cramping in my stomach was not so much hunger as a shift in the body's processes. And then I realized it was also the beginning of a very heavy menstrual flow. Yay, thanks body. Everything at once, why not? Anyway, for supper I made a meat sauce out of onion, cabbage, zucchini, homemade tomato sauce, and lean ground pork. Sauteed in olive oil, flavored with italion herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ate it with a baked potat and butter, leading DD to comment, "THAT's your supper?!?" I had a banana while it was cooking. Didn't feel much need to snack last night -- the food pantry is a good way to get a lot of activity and not sit around the house. And to understand up close why so many people are not getting much in the way of good nutrition. They do try at the food pantry, but even on the good days, it's not what I consider to be great nutrition. Day 2: Breakfast (6:50am): Four eggs (DD didn't want hers) with sauteed vegetables and strawberries, tea to drink Lunch (12:45pm): Grilled chicken, a few french fries (cooked in olive oil -- I don't recommend this for every day, but oh, the salt, the salt!), grilled butternut squash, banana, an avocado, and a quarter-ounce of unsweetened chocolate* Snack (4pm): Apple and water (didn't have my almonds with me, which I would usually have with an apple). Supper (6:50pm): Broth (homemade) and applesauce (homemade, unsweetened) so far, I'm getting to the rest of it, but I'm not that hungry so may pass and go to bed early instead. It snowed here today, and the cold is in my bones. I never used to understand it when old people used to say that. Now, I am the old people.

ThyPeace Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Day 3 went well. Little to no hunger.

Lunch (split between 11:15am and 12:30pm; only had a few minutes between meetings): Salmon salad, pork-and-veggie mix leftovers, carrot sticks, apple. Supper (7:30pm): Salad with "taco" ground beef (flavored with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and home made salsa), chopped olives, red pepper, tomato. Grapefruit and blueberries.

ThyPeace Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 January 25 (continued): In between (5:00pm): Apple, almonds Supper (8:00pm): Hamburger patty with lettuce,tomato,etc., and a baked potato This feels like it has not been enough food yet for the day. We're still driving, so maybe I'll have a banana and a few more nute. Travel days are easier than they used to be, but still a challenge. And this week will be harder with DH home and without having done the meal planning yet. Let's see..... ThyPeace, thinking about how to work the next few days.

ThyPeace Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 January 27th: Breakfast (6:50am): Three eggs with sautéed veggies and applesauce. Lunch (can't remember what time but between 11:30 and 1): tuna salad with olive oil, horseradish, etc., Apple, almonds, and raw veggies. Supper (6:30): grilled burger, baked potato and butter, salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, unsweetened chocolate. Had some more kombucha. Not quite as bad this time. Had a nasty stomach ache in the afternoon, and my body decided to get rid of everything in my colon and large intestine all at once. This is an ongoing intermittent problem that I haven't been able to track to a specific food. It may just be too much fat rather than a single food. That's been an issue in the past.
