marinanaomirose Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's Day 3, and I think I'm going to jump on the log bandwagon to help keep myself accountable and remember what the heck I'm eating. Day 1 was fine: Meal 1: Frittata (with sweet potato, sausage, onion), with a mango Meal 2: Pork shoulder, carrots, potato, onion, turnips, with a tangerine Snack: Sugar snap peas, coconut butter Meal 3: Chicken wings with carrots, onion, and potato One of my goals is to take at least one yoga class weekly. I'm already pretty active and also take Barre3 classes and run, but I think yoga brings something needed and extra into my schedule, yet I rarely find time for it. I'm pleased to say that I did my yoga class right off the bat on day 1 and may fit in another this week. I did get hungry a lot on Day 1, which lead my to adjust my portion size a bit on Day 2. That said, Day 2 was really rough. I woke up with a splitting headache, despite getting lots of sleep, and felt sluggish all day long. I went to a Barre class in the evening which helped. I also wasn't hungry between meals, probably a good sign that I'm eating enough food! Meal 1: Same Frittata as day 1 Meal 2: Ground beef stir fry (with potatoes, onion, brussel sprouts, carrots, and green beans), plus an apple Meal 3: Chicken wings with potatoes cauliflower, and pesto (so yummy - macadamia nuts, basil, parsley, garlic, olive oil). Plus a tangerine. Now I'm on to Day 3! Definitely not as tired and achey this morning, but I do feel like I'm coming down with a cold. Also - do people think I'm eating too many white potatoes? As you can see, there are lots of them in my past two days. I know they're allowed now but perhaps not the best source of nutrients? I've just had meal one of today so far: Meal 1: Two eggs, a compliant sausage, and leftover cauliflower and potatoes from last night. Plus an apple. My boyfriend (who's doing his first whole 30 with me right now!) made lunch for me, no idea what, so that will be a fun surprise around noon.

marinanaomirose Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Mystery Meal 2 packed by my boyfriend: Ground beef, plantains, sweet potato, onions, plus a little avocado. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Meal 3: Stupid Easy Paleo's avocado bacon sliders! Sweet potato buns. Probably a tangerine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Day 4! Unfortunately my newsletter yesterday accurately predicted that I would get an awful cold. Congested, achey, exhausted. Luckily I made bone broth from my chicken wings the other day, so I've been drinking that and getting extra sleep. Meal 1: Three scrambled eggs, one sausage, roasted cauliflower, onion, leeks, and potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Meal 2: Pork goulash! Just a pork shoulder I let cook in my crock pot over night with onions and peppers. I'm eating it over turnips and rutabagas. Probably also have some sugar snap peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Meal 3: Roast chicken thighs, roast zucchini, roast turnips (which were under cooked and not that delicious, but oh well). Also a mango. Despite the fact that I'm sick, I'm actually feeling pretty great. It's been easy not to snack between meals. One hard thing that has come up is that my boyfriend, who is doing this with me, is a lot bigger and more muscular than I am and as such needs a lot more nutrients, a lot more snacks, etc. We've been doing most meal prep together, but figuring out our very different portions and nutritional needs has been a bit challenging. I'm trying to tune into my body and focus on what I need, but it's hard when he gets hungry at 10 pm and eats sausage, and I want some too!

marinanaomirose Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Day 5. Still sick, feeling really exhausted and snotty. Not an ideal end to the week. Unfortunately when I'm sick I have no appetite, but I'm doing my best to eat proper meals. Meal 1: Two scrambled eggs, one piece of bacon, sautéed zucchini, onion, and leek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Oh and regarding the bacon - Pure Country! It took me ages to find a compliant brand in town but this one is. Happy I won't be going without bacon for the next 30 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Ugh, being sick is the worst. Had leftover goulash, sugar snap peas, and a tangerine for Meal 2, but still really don't have much of an appetite. Trying to keep with my meal schedule anyway though.

marinanaomirose Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Last night's Meal 3: top sirloin steak, cabbage, tomato salad (with cucumbers and bell peppers) Made it to the weekend! Day 6. Meal 1: Scrambled eggs, zucchini, leeks, onion, and mango I'm still craving sweet breakfasts, but sticking to my meal template. Finally feeling a little better, not so stuffed up anymore. I went to the local farmer's market today and bought some beautiful swiss chard which I'm excited about. I've had my first social engagements this weekend and thus far succeeded, my friends were supportive and nice about my not drinking or eating what they were. I did get hungry though - I think next time I'll eat before going to happy hour with my friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Meal 2: Chicken breast (organic prairie, compliant!), tomato salad, avocado. I made bacon wrapped dates for a get-together with friends and had a few of those in between Meal 2 and Meal 3. Meal 3: pork chops, swiss chard, and cauliflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Day 7! Sunday is definitely food prep day. Meal 1: Scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato and cucumber salad Meal 2: Sausage, tomato and cucumber salad Feeling a little tired of cooking, but have some crock pot meals planned that will hopefully alleviate the stress a bit.

marinanaomirose Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Meal 3: Oven baked salmon, swiss chard, jicama. Finally got some fish in. I did a lot of meal prep today - a frittata for breakfasts for the week, coconut soup for lunch the next two days, and meatballs to bring to a potluck tomorrow. I know that doing meal prep is worth it, but I feel so exhausted! I'm glad that all of my meals for tomorrow are already prepped though. Overall I'm feeling good - still really craving sugar unfortunately, but not having too much trouble resisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Day 8! Let's do this. Meal 1: Frittata (ground pork, swiss chard, cauliflower, leeks, onions). It was yummy but I'm still lacking an appetite when I wake up in the morning. I pretty much had to force it down. I felt totally fine afterward, but just not interested in food. I'm not drinking caffeine till after I eat per the rules, so not sure why this is still so hard. Meal 2: Chicken coconut milk soup. This on the other hand was delicious. Chicken thighs in coconut milk and chicken broth. With some potatoes, carrots, and onions in the mix. Gingery and garlicky and just tasty. Tonight the BF and I are going to a potluck, so I made compliant buffalo meatballs. I know one friend is also bringing a compliant salad, so we should be ok as far as food goes. Turning down homemade pizza will be hard but surely doable. Finally feeling better from being sick, so I'm going to a yoga class today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Meal 3: buffalo chicken meatballs, homemade ranch, a yummy salad my friend made that was totally compliant (arugula, avocado, olive oil, vinegar, cucumbers)! Successfully drank sparkly water while everyone else drank wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Day 9! Whew. Woke up with more of an appetite and was able to eat my frittata happily. Hopefully my body is adjusting to eating breakfast filled with protein and veggies! Meal 1: Same frittata as yesterday Meal 2: Same coconut soup as yesterday I'm thinking Meal 3 might just be coconut soup again - I'm going to an evening Barre3 class and love the idea of not cooking anything new.

marinanaomirose Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Made a mellow meal 3 for myself while blissed out after barre class. It consisted of a plate of crudite (cabbage, radishes, tomato, carrots, cucumber), three hardboiled eggs, and homemade ranch. Simple, super easy, but it hit the spot. Also, just tried Le Croix orange flavor (I'm a long time coconut fan) and have fallen in love! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Whew! Day 10, whattup. Feeling great, actually. Meal 1: same frittata as yesterday Meal 2: mystery lunch prepared by BF (I'm told it involves lamb!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Meal 3: Pad thai with spaghetti squash! So yummy. We put shrimp and chicken in it, crazy good. I vaguely followed The Clothes Make The Girl's recipe, but was pretty flexible based on what I had in the house. Went on a short run and also to yoga, am feeling like I have more time and energy this week after doing so much food prep on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinanaomirose Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Meal 2: pulled pork and coleslaw I went to happy hour with friends and brought a snack so I wouldn't lose my mind waiting for dinner while they ate. Coleslaw and a sausage. Meal 3: rib eye, little potatoes, salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinanaomirose Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Missing a few days, but I'll just start where I'm at. Meal 1: frittata that I'll eat all week. Bacon, broccoli, onion, potato, a bazillion eggs. Meal 2: leftover pulled pork, asparagus, jicama Meal 3: Went out for sushi and ate only sashimi (plain because I didn't bring my own condiments) like a champ!
