sarah246 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 yesterday was Day14 of Whole35. Again..compliant with food and didn't do any nuts or dried fruit mixes as stand alone. Had almonds in a salad.....but I was so sick. Had to take migraine medication last night. Feeling headachy and yuck today. Nervous because I CANNOT miss work...too much to do in the last 7 weeks of school. My migraines are hemiplegic migraines and they cause one sided weakenss and numbness so my left side is funky. They are bizarre and only started since I had my youngest kiddo. I have an 18 year old, 12 year old and almost 2-year old. YIKES!!! So yes....I was relatively recently pregnant and I had her at 38. I'm 40 now and I think my body is rebelling against a late pregnancy. Whole30 is much needed for this confused body. Day 15 m1: asparagus, mushrooms, roasted red pepper with 2 eggs, sliced strawberries m2: my typical salad (sliced almonds) m3: grilled chicken thighs with veggies and avocado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah246 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Day 16: rollercoaster ride---feeling really awful today (migraine coming on....AGAIN), at work and hoping I can stick it out. Scheduled an appointment with an endocrinologist. I shouldn't be so up and down...it's interfering with work. The one thing that remains consistent is food. M1: hard boiled egg at 6:30----two eggs over zucchini, mushroom and onion sauté, strawberries at 7:20 M2: salad M3: cinnamon chili over green beans and avocado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJS12345 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Sorry to hear about your migraines. Hopefully the doctor can help! Good job on the no nuts for snacks plan. I try to stick to that too. Are you giving up fruit as a stand alone as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah246 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 BJS12345- I'm pretty sure I've been substituting fruit for the nuts these last few days. I actually had a piece of fruit at every meal. I need to go back in and edit my meals. Do you suggest I give up fruit? BTW--I used your recipe/suggestion for marinara sauce this week. Delish! About the migraines---doctors think it's related to muscle spasms and hormone changes. I take a daily medication to prevent and then I have a med to "abort" when one comes on....apparently it's not working...but I'll figure it out!!! Will be seeing an endocrinologist in June. A long time to wait when every day is painful...but I'm hoping that once I get through this week I'll be on the other side of the hormone swing. Day 17 M1: two eggs over zucchini/mushroom/onion mix, 1/4 of an avocado (ate at 7:00AM) snack (oops!!): apple at 9:00 AM, didn't really need it, just ate it cuz it was there, yup fruit is becoming a problem! M2: typical salad---lots of chicken, spring green mix, almonds, olives, mayo/morrocan dipping sauce/mustard dressing frozen berry mix M3: taco salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJS12345 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I usually eat fruit "because it's there" too! Every time I open up the refrigerator, I am staring at strawberries or grapes. Plus packing them in my daughters lunch. Sometimes I eat it bc I am having a serious sugar craving. I guess as long as we don't go overboard, it's still on the plan!! I still try to refrain if I'm not hungry or being impulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah246 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Day 18---(so cool to say that!!....of course I'm actually doing a Whole35 cuz I blew it on Day 5 but still......) M1: 2 eggs, cucumber/1/4 avocado/grape tomatoes/sliced almonds mixed with mayonnaise and Moroccan dipping sauce 7:15 No fruit!

sarah246 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 So weekends are hard for me to post as I just don't ever sit at a computer, but I remained compliant....I SOOOOOO wanted to eat junk. Not sure why it was so hard, but it seems like a lot of fun food is popping up---summer and spring treats---and I really wanted to partake---ice cream, cocktails, cookies, etc. I'm not terribly proud of the way I ate mixed nuts and raisins over the weekend. Definitely my substitute play food, but I'm not going to beat myself up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
