beesting83 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ok, day one, it went really well today. My mom seems to be on board helping me with family dinners and the like. I felt great today, got in a short walk with the boys this morning, an hour of legs and a 2.5 mile walk tonight. 14,500 steps for the day. Food was great, having more people than just me to cook for helps too. I'm really looking forward to this to get all of our eating under control. Here's what today's food looked like: B: 2 egg omelet with bacon and bell pepper. L: almonds, orange, carrots D: rotisserie chicken, salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, broccoli with lemon zest, baked sweet potato with 1/2 Tbls ghee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaGirl Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Check your rotisserie chicken.. More than likely it has sugar on it.. what happened to your protein at lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted June 24, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi, Bree! To get the very best results from your Whole30, it's recommended that you follow the meal template for each of your meals. When eggs are your only source of protein, a serving is as many whole eggs as you can hold in your hand, which is likely 3-4. Almonds and other nuts are really a fat source, not a protein. And when the template says fill your plate with vegetables, it's going to be at least one cup of vegetables, and even better if it's closer to three cups at each meal. And when you exercise, you actually get bonus pre- and post-workout meals to make sure you get enough food to give you the energy to keep up that activity level. I don't know what kind of background you come from, diet-wise, but for those of us used to counting calories or carbs or fat grams, this is a very different way of eating, and it can seem like a lot of food, but that's okay. Try to remember that you're nourishing your body with all the healthy, nutrient dense food it needs to function at its very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesting83 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think I've done better the last couple days, I forgot to write down yesterday's food so here it is: B: 2 egg omelette with bell peppers, ghee and onion, celery sticks and watermelon L: Ground Vennison with sweet potato, large salad, carrots with salsa and guacamole D: Beef Patty, local sausage (whole30 approved) over a large bed of lettuce, tomatoes, onion and dill pickles, salsa on top and avocado on the side Today was good too! B: Local Bacon (whole30 approved we have it made for us), carrots and sauteed zucchini L: Ground beef over lettuce with carrots, celery and zucchini topped with olive oil and vinegar, grapes and 1/3 of a banana D: Copper River Salmon, left over rotisserie chicken (we make it ourselves, we have a showtime rotisserie), leftover grilled veggies, a large salad with bell pepper, cucumber and onion marinated in oil and vinegar, almonds on the side. I felt tired yesterday, but I also started my period so that had an effect also. So far one of the hardest things has been to not weigh myself. Eating all these veggies is wonderful, I'm feeling satisfied, but not overly full. The sugar thing hasn't been too hard, I thought it would be more so, but that may come later. Thanks you guys for your input. I wasn't super hungry Tuesday when I started and in fact forgot to eat lunch, which is why it was so small. The last two days I haven't been overly hungry, but just enough that it's not a problem to remember. Also, I've been impressed that this food has made me want to eat, it's been so hot this is usually the weather that I don't want to eat in.

Just a note that bacon is a fat source on Whole30 so you're missing your protein in meal one. Don't short change yourself as this is what will truly carry you through to the next meal!

beesting83 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Day 6: B: Egg muffins, I made turkey breakfast sauasage using ground turkey and breakfast sauasage spices mixed that with a chopped poblano pepper spinach and eggs, poured that into a muffin tin and baked them and ate them with guacamole L: Salad with chicken skewers, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, avocado and bell peppers D: Leftover turkey wrapped in lettuce with left over roasted veggies. Tried to make a roasted chicken but it still wasn't done after an hour and 20 min so we resorted to the boys getting take out and me eating leftovers. I feel like I had an over reaction to the chicken tonight, the fact that it wouldn't cook through made me cry. I don't know if that's part of the first week or not, but it sure was for me.
