Dnnasttn Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yay, getting the gang back together! LOL! I'm going on a business trip next weekend, so I'm going to start the weekend after I get back (Jan. 17). Are you doing a W30 or longer, and have you started a new thread? Have fun on your trip! I'm starting with a W30 and will probably extend it. I started a new thread called Ready, Set, Go: 2016. Talk to you soon then!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thu. 2-22 Meal 1 2 Applegate hot dogs w/ketchup & mustard, sauerkraut, pumpkin w/ghee & pps, 4 cantaloupe chunks, coffee w/coconut milk, chocolate truffle Meal 2 tuna fish, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, blueberries, EVOO & balsamic I thought I would start tracking again today. I'm training to eat similar to Whole30 through the week, and then I've got a wedding on Saturday where I'm looking forward to enjoying some favorite treats, such as champagne. As I mentioned in my other thread, my therapist noted that I seem happier when I'm following a Whole30, less stressed about random out of control eating. The biggest challenge for me right now is that I possibly have a medical issue which is making me fatigued, so it's very hard to incorporate exercise into my life beyond gentle walking. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thu. 3/3 Well, that didn't take... let's try again. Meal 1 3 garlic chicken thighs, butternut squash & kale, sauerkraut, coffee w/coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Update on me: In mid-February I was diagnosed with mild adrenal insufficiency (the result of taking a lot of oral steroids for asthma) and prescribed a daily regimen of hydrocortisone. This has been giving me increased appetite and carb cravings, and I've gained a couple of pounds. I have not been sticking to Whole30 style eating. Fortunately, I should only be on this medication temporarily while my body heals. I'm due for more bloodwork with my primary care physician soon, which is where I have my prediabetes stuff tested, so I'm feeling inspired to start eating better. I welcome all cheerleading from the sidelines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sun. 3/27 Snack 1 sliver of hubby's pizza Meal 1 1 1/2 chile lime chicken burgers w/mayo, Cruciferous Crunch (kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) in coconut oil, applesauce, coffee w/milk One place where I have really gone off track is breakfast, so this morning's Meal 1 was a major improvement!

WholeMama623 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sorry about the adrenal stuff, but I hope it improves soon!!! Glad to see we are getting back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Meal 1 1 1/2 chile lime chicken burgers w/mayo, roasted Brussels sprouts, piece of chocolate, coffee w/milk Meal 2 Evol Ziti Bolognese Pasta Bowl, fruit salad Meal 3 barbecue beef, French fries, fruit salad Snack 1 peanut butter pretzels I don't know if anyone would really call this "back on track," but I am trying to get in a good breakfast and track my eats. I also need to go to the store especially for veggies; I tried sugar snap peas with my barbecue, but they were tasteless and went in the trash. I got some test results back today, and I've still got the adrenal insufficiency so have to keep on the meds for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeMama623 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 What tests did you do for adrenal stuff? I think that's part of my issue, but I just haven't breeched it yet. I've got too many other medical bills to consider it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Meal 1 barbecue beef, fruit salad, hearty portion of almond butter, coffee w/milk Meal 2 Evol Ziti Bolognese Pasta Bowl, apple Meal 3 2 breakfast tacos (eggs, bacon, potato, refried beans, avocado, cheese, & salsa in tortillas) Snack 1 Kombucha, yogurt w/chia seeds Today was a step in the right direction... no sweets! I'm mainly trying to incorporate some of the things that I thought worked really well for me on the Whole30 - large breakfasts, meals composed of protein + veg + fat, and staying away from sugar. Britt, I did an ACTH stimulation test which tests to see if your adrenal glands produce the appropriate amount of cortisol. I see an endocrinologist for this.

WholeMama623 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 staying away from sugar is #1 key for me to be successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Meal 1 Aussie Bites (baked oat snacks, relatively healthy but I ate way too many), coffee w/milk Meal 2 EVOL meal, kiwi and strawberries Snack 1 2 chocolates I've been doing really crappy as far as eating healthy (and not staying away from sugar). My allergies were horrible this weekend, so I didn't go to the store or anything. I'm going to try to do easy things that are relatively healthy for a while until I'm more on track. There might be grains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezjulie Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Meal 3 shrimp w/cocktail sauce, blue corn chips w/guacamole, fruit cup Snack 1 blueberry frozen yogurt bar Hi Britt!!!!! I'd better keep tracking if you're checking on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Meal 1 protein bar, blue corn chips w/guacamole, coffee w/milk Meal 2 EVOL Chicken Tikka Masala, apple Food: I'm really having trouble getting into the swing of breakfast. Maybe because I'm on meds that make me crave carbs? I'm also wanting something really quick for on the go that I don't have to make, and I haven't come up with a good option yet. Flow: I've been looking into joining the campus gym in May, but they are going to be renovating the entire 2nd floor, which is where I used to work out. That's the area with all of the treadmills, weights, and the walking track. I might join anyway and use the pool or take some kind of aqua fitness classes. Healthwise I have been feeling a whole lot better lately and ready to add some light exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
