W10D71S2 1 1/2 beers Food: I was at a work training all day; hence the non-dairy creamer and Jason's Deli sandwich. Went to see my husband's band play, so had my first alcohol since starting the Whole30 way back when. Feelings: Wow, I blew past Day 100 of Whole30-ish eating without even realizing it. One thing I notice is that it is much easier to walk by candy at work, or the cookies at the workshop today, or pastries that my DH has brought home. Before Whole30 , I would have just eaten it every time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to make a big breakfast before I rush off to dance class, so I end up getting something convenient that's not the best choice.

chezjulie Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks, Britt! I've seen something called Rise Bars which looks pretty good. Limited ingredients (almonds, honey, whey protein). I can't see myself eating a bison bar right after I wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 SELF-EVALUATION I told you guys this was coming. I feel like because I haven't always been perfect with my eating, haven't lost a ton of weight, and have been on so many different medications over this period that I can't tell what is caused by the meds and what by the diet, I've started to lose sight of the benefits of Whole30-ish eating. So I reviewed the list of non-scale health indicators, and these are the ones that spoke to me the most. And okay, I made up a few of my own. Improved cholesterol numbers You no longer count calories You no longer eat frozen meals for convenience You’re more optimistic about your ability to improve your health You have a healthier relationship with food You are able to turn down treats at work You are no longer a slave to sugar and carbs You naturally have more variety, color, vitamins, and minerals in your diet What do you guys think?

chezjulie Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 W10D76M1 2 Applegate hot dogs w/kechup & mustard, hard boiled egg, handful of spinach w/EVOO, small muesli bread w/Justin's Honey Peanut Butter, venti iced soy latte w/1/2 pkg. raw sugar W10D76M2 chicken breast, mixed greens, red cabbage, shredded carrots & beets, broccoli florets, EVOO & apple cider vinegar, 2 Hershey minis W10D76M3 lamb & beef, eggplant in EVOO, broccoli & cauliflower florets, huge bowl of honeydew melon chunks Food: Wow, I didn't realize breakfast was quite that big. I had the hot dogs and the spinach (the small amount that hadn't spoiled) at home, then met a colleague at Starbucks and had the egg and the muesli/PB from the Protein Bistro Box w/my latte. Thanks for the congratulations, Britt! It was actually a re-loss of two pounds. I had lost a little under 7 lbs at the end of the first 30 days, gained back about 4 lbs. while I was sick and all, and now I'm down a little under 5 lbs. from my starting weight. ETA: I hopped on the scale again this morning (Day 77) to see that I'm now down 6 1/2 lbs, so just about where I was after the 30 days. Yay! And good evidence that it really does work when I'm eating mostly Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was totally to do with it being a few days before my period, and I probably haven't been eating enough starchy carbs to keep carb cravings in check. I went into the break room where there was a "goodbye" cake for someone, intending to have a little taste. I ended up diving into the cake like Casey Wilson in the SNL "Annuale" commercial. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/annuale/n12189 (I highly, highly, highly recommend watching this video). I have not been wanting crappy food like this or eating other crappy food at work, so I'm just going to chalk it up to that once a year period! Feelings: Maybe this is what food freedom means. I know I ate something crappy that is not helping me get where I'm going healthwise, but I'm not beating myself up because I know it's just an aberration, and that I know how to eat well and like doing so. I will buy some beets and potatoes to get me though the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 W11D79M1 1 1/3 Honey Almond Rise Bar W11D79M2 2 beef hot dogs, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, & mushrooms sauteed in bacon fat w/1 strip of bacon & TJ's 21 Spice (OMG so good!) W11D79M3 pork, BBQ sauce, pasta salad (shell pasta, apples, walnuts, bacon, Russian dressing, mayo), watermelon chunks, 1/2 brownie W11D78M4 1 beef hot dog, baby carrots, guacamole, baked French fries w/ketchup, pasta salad Food: Well, the first Saturday morning protein bar experience was not good. The Rise Bar tasted like a soft Bit-O-Honey candy. Blech. I'd had a small chunk as a sample earlier and I just threw the rest of that bar away. I could use some of those Instagram suggestions, Britt! My real breakfast, however, was incredible. I had to cook up a package of bacon for a recipe for a potluck I'm going to later today. I just kept the bacon fat in the pan and threw in several generous handfuls of shaved Brussels sprouts, cole slaw veggies, some mushrooms that were going bad, and sauteed it all. I added one strip of bacon for crunch, and some spice for flavor. Soooooo good. The only thing I would do differently next time is drain about half of the bacon fat first, because it was too much of a good thing. Went to a memorial service/potluck this afternoon. I brought a pasta salad that my Mom used to make. I had a bunch left over afterwards (people had brought so much food) and I decided that I didn't need to tempt myself over a $1.00 bag of pasta, so I picked out the apples and walnuts and threw the rest away. The fries were my starchy carb for today; I don't have a problem with fries. Overall, today was too light on protein and I didn't have any vegetables with Meal 3.

Too sweet. Lunch was really good. I chopped up some leftover roasted chicken breast and green beans and added it, as well as some chopped cabbage, to olive oil in the pan. Once that was sauteed up, I poured in jar of this pasta sauce, which includes olives. Flow: dance class, walk in park NOTE: The Whole30 folks have changed the forums so that you can only edit your posts for 15 minutes. No more starting a post in the morning and then coming back to update it later in the day. I'm super bummed about it, and it means I will be trying to do multiple posts to track my day.
