edgymama Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 This log documents my re-intro process and how I plan to keep living a Whole 30 style life beyond. Days are counted as an addition to my original Whole30 which I have the link to in my signature Day 32 Wednesday LEGUMES Meal 1: 3 eggs, 3 peppers, small apple with glob of natural (only roasted peanuts) peanut butter, olives Snack: plate of fresh fruit at a work conference Meal 2: made up a salad at the conference with their veggies then added my own chicken I brought with, a guac packet, and a glob of tribe plain hummus Not sure if it's the legumes or the combo of the hummus/guac/red onions I had on salad but stomach got very bloated feeling and was very gassy on my two hour drive back from conference :/ Meal 3: 2 natural garlic and spinach chicken sausages, raw green beans with more hummus, olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Day 33 Hmm felt fine last night after having hummus so wondering if the gas between meal 2 and 3 wasn't contributed to either A) the combo of guac, hummus, red onions and all the other veg or the freaking chicken I got was injected with broth I found out which could very well have gluten in it! Having more of the chicken for meal 2 today so will see how that goes..... Meal 1: 3 eggs, melon, green beans, olives, 1 slice proscuitto Meal 2: Rotisserie chicken over spinach with guac packet and balsamic, carrots and a couple mini peppers and a cup of melon YUP that dang rotisserie chicken "broth" must have gluten or something else because again after eating it my tummy is gassy feeling and noisy! Will make something for the husband out of the rest of that sucker! So annoyed. Oh well back to making my own chicken haha. Meal 3: 3 eggs, 2 or 3 slices proscuitto, raw green beans, large green olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Day 34 Friday Meal 1: 3 eggs, cucumber, 1/2 avocado Meal 2: spinach and kale salad with chicken (not the gluten/additive tainted stuff but my own I baked!), 1/2 avocado, cucumber, olives, balsamic, cup of melon Meal 3: cold chicken breast I dipped in mustard, 6 or more sweet mini peppers, heaping handful green olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Day 35 Saturday ALCOHOL Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, carrots, olives Meal 2: spinach salad, chicken, tomatoes, balsamic, olives Meal 3: spinach salad, taco meat, guac packet, olives Snack: 2 cups of cantaloupe 4.5 angry orchard hard ciders Yup over did it on the alcohol re-intro, wasn't feeling them at all until I was feeling them! Went to bed spinning out blech. What I noticed is it completely triggered me to start thinking about pasta and pizza! Need to look for lower sugar alcohol I think for when I indulge.

edgymama Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Day 36 Sunday Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, olives, carrots Meal 2: spinach salad, taco meat, tomatoes, olives Meal 3: went to Buffalo Wild Wings, got the honey bbq chicken salad (no cheese and no southwest ranch but got extra honey bbq sauce) also had my toddler's fries that came with his meal (they were good but not necessarily totally worth it to me, I was using them more to cut the heat from my salad since I realized it was way spicier without having the cheese and ranch to cool it down LOL!), drank fizzy water with lime slices. Snack: had quite a large cup of raw almonds and pistachios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yum, do you mix the prosciutto in with the eggs, edgymama? Congrats on finishing your Whole30 and entering the world of Reintroductions!!!!!!! It is definitely a different kind of struggle to do reintros without the strict guidelines. I really fell off the wagon of healthy choices yesterday but am hopping back on. Are you going to try to keep your snacks template-y - protein, veg, and fat - or loosen up on that now that the Whole30 is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really fell off the wagon of healthy choices yesterday but am hopping back on. Are you going to try to keep your snacks template-y - protein, veg, and fat - or loosen up on that now that the Whole30 is over? Hiya! Yup I heat up my coconut oil, toss in proscuitto all torn into pieces and let it cook a bit then toss my eggs and seasonings in DELISH! I am trying to continue on with only having a snack rarely. I won't necessarily have template snacks but just have them rarely instead Snacking was my downfall before so if I can keep those to a rare thing I think I will be most successful! I will most likely have a bit of junk around the 4th and also my son's birthday in July but other than that plan to keep on track as much as possible since I still have at least 40lbs I would like to shed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Day 37 Monday Meal 1: 3 eggs, baby carrots, large green olives Meal 2: kale salad with chicken and buffalo ghee sauce, baby carrots Snack: had a larabar (kids were stressing me out big time, will keep an eye on this though as don't need to be falling onto food when times are tough! Meal 3: ground beef with compliant tomato sauce and garlic powder, a big green bell pepper, black olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Day 38 Tuesday NON-GLUTEN GRAINS Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, mini peppers, black olives, small handful of tostito scoops corn chips (was surprised that these don't contain very many ingredients! YAY!) Meal 2: spinach salad, ground beef, black olives, tomatoes, guac packet, some brown rice Meal 3: chicken breast, mini peppers, avocado, corn tortilla chips, banana Felt fine having corn and rice today, maybe a little bloated between lunch and dinner but nothing unbearable. I will say I wasn't feeling too great about having tortilla chips as I could easily see these becoming a bad habit. I will remain mindful about when I have snacks such as those, even with a meal!

edgymama Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Day 39 Wednesday Meal 1: 3 eggs, peppers, olives (this has become my easiest go to meal 1!) Meal 2: spinach and kale blend with chicken breast, guac packet, tomatoes, balsamic dressing Meal 3: burger meat, tomato sauce, california medley steamed veg, green olives This was hungriest day I have had I think the entire time I have been doing this. Pretty dang sure it is hormone related and tiredness related. SNACKS: Indulged in a frozen banana concoction with unsweetened cocoa, unsweetened coconut, and some raw cashews BUT then I had some pistachios and cashews later on as well (wasn't pleased with that but as I said it had been a hungry day so forgiving myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Day 40 Thursday Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, beets, green olives Meal 2: chicken breast, california medley veggies, whole avocado, balsamic Meal 3: 3.5 eggs, proscuitto, red onion, black olives, carrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaB Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Question: are you planning a specific reintro to sugar? Or was the bbq chicken at BWW intended for that? I feel like I need to do sugar first, just because some of the other things I want to reintro like bread have sugar in them. Also - my birthday is in July, and I'd like to know before that how sugar affects me. Also - just in case you're interested, Crockpot365 has a recipe for rotisserie chicken that you make in the crockpot that is great (and also compliant)! The first time I tried it at home, DH said "that's it - no more grocery store rotisserie chicken - this is way better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I tried it at home, DH said "that's it - no more grocery store rotisserie chicken - this is way better." Actually my intro of sugar was most definitely with my alcohol, with that sugar and alcohol combination I noticed very quickly I started cravings pizza and pasta (so more sugary carby food items!). Knowing this is hopefully going to keep me aware so I don't go bananas when I choose to drink! I don't have a sugar dragon in traditional sense so didn't feel the need to introduce it on it's own.

edgymama Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Day 41 Friday Was down another 2.8lbs this week making my total 14.2 lbs gone since starting this journey hooray! I was going to re-intro dairy today but will wait and do tomorrow as we want to bring the kids for ice cream and I want some good ice cream Meal 1: 3 eggs, carrots, black olives Meal 2: ground beef with tomato sauce, salad of spinach, sweet peppers, green olives and balsamic dressing Meal 3: (NOT COMPLIANT ALERT) raw cashews, apple pie lara bar, black olives (LOL, it was a crazy night with my kids so this is all I managed then just wasn't hungry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaB Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm glad you said that - because I don't know if I would have thought to pay attention to other cravings in relation to the sugar. I don't feel like I have a traditional sugar dragon, either - mostly I gravitate toward salty snacks - but sugar is a bad boy when it comes to my candida, so I just want to be aware of its' presence in the food I eat.

edgymama Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 DAY 42 Saturday DAIRY Meal 1: 3 eggs, black olives, green olives, carrots, dill flavored cheese curds (YUM) Meal 2: ice cream turtle sundae (OMG this was amazing and worth every bite) (and yes I realize I should have had compliant food with it but again it was one of those summer days!) Meal 3: original buffalo wings, olive burger (no bun), allowed myself some ketchup for my homemade kettle chips too Snack: Bottle of dry sweet cherry wine Ok so I got a bit looser this weekend and didn't do re-intro exactly how I should but I felt great and have Zero regrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Day 43 Sunday Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, beets with balsamic, green olives Meal 2: ground beef with compliant tomato sauce (was not feeling this today and almost gagged on last couple of bites, maybe the wine from last night haha?) spinach salad with onion, guacamole, carrots, balsamic Meal 3: sirloin steak bites over a bed of spinach, tomatoes, and avocado (this was flipping amazing! Just cooked up some breakfast steak in cubes seasoned with salt, pepper, and trader joes every day seasoning in a super hot pan of melted ghee) Snack: 1 bottle of hard cider ABSOLUTELY no bad side effects from dairy!!! AMEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Day 44 Monday Meal 1: 3 eggs, carrots, black olives Meal 2: ground beef with compliant (aldis!) marinara and california medley steamed veggies and green olives, watermelon Meal 3: steak, spinach salad, guacamole, tomatoes SNACKS: UGHHH totally finished my packet of cheese curds and had handful of tostito scoops. Did not do appropriate re-intro. Corn and dairy don't affect me that's for sure but this is also a bad thing since they are two items I can easily binge on. Using this as education to know what I can and cannot have around in moments of weakness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Day 45 Tuesday Completely hormonal.....hence my unneeded snacks last night. Meal 1: 3 eggs, carrots, black olives, red grapes Meal 2: Whole30 chili and watermelon (forgot my fat source so hoping it holds me over! If not have some peppers with me) Meal 3: 3 eggs, proscuitto, peppers, green olives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Day 46 Wednesday Meal 1: 3 eggs, carrots, black olives Meal 2: vegan lasagna a co-worker made and brought for me to try (not keen on having the soy really....) ok this was really amazing and so yummy! Could not believe no gluten and no dairy and no meat in it! Meal 3: Went to a pool party where my kids were in opposite directions the entire time (and not in the pool) so my dinner consisted of 1 bacon wrapped scallop, 1 handful of tostito scoops, one smallish scoop of homemade guacamole, 1 smaller scoop of baba ganoush that I brought with carrots....got home at night and had one small handful of grapes and a bowl full of raw pistachios. What I did great with though was turning down alcohol, not grabbing a handful or even dorito (my old time fave!), turning down loads of other yummy looking non-healthy foods, and the biggest victory is I was craving potato salad so badly that i grabbed some from the store to donate to the party....went to get myself some and looked at ingredients out of curiosity and oh heck no! It had WAY too many ingredients for this lady so didn't even open it will make myself a batch of healthier stuff!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Day 47 Thursday Although I am not doing an official July Whole30 I have decided to not step on the scale this month. I don't need to see weight fluctuations this month as I learn how to ride my own bike as I don't think I am ready for that and don't want to de-rail my progress and mind set! So no scale until July 31st. Meal 1: 3 eggs, peppers, black olives Meal 2: whole30 chili with guacamole, extra peppers and watermelon Meal 3: cooking up chicken to make myself a giant salad tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Day 48 Friday Riding own bike is hard! Had gluten today amongst other junk... Meal 1: 3 eggs, proscuitto, black olives, carrots Meal 2: 3/4 of an elephant ear (art fair) and turtle ice cream sundae (vanilla ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauces and pecans) Meal 3: Buffalo hot wing pizza from favorite place (totally worth it!) Only thing I noticed from the gluten was CRAZY brain fog today....but that could have been lack of sleep and all the junk combined. Snack: 1 cider, 1 glass of wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Day 49 Saturday 4th of July Meal 1: 3 eggs, peppers, green olives, proscuitto Meal 2: aldis mint ice cream cone, 1.5 slices of pepperoni little caesars pizza (not worth it) Meal 3: favorite local chicken place- 2 chicken strips (smallish), mashed potatoes and gravy, 1 biscuit, 1 piece corn on the cob Snack: 3 pear hard ciders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
