Margot Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 So Day 9 is almost in the bag...WooHoo!!!!! Been another weird day for me...had to deal with an emotional issue and REALLY had to fight my desire for a glass of wine ( or two, lol)...cause that makes everything better, right??? I also tend to eat my feelings and that doesn't work so well on whole 30 ;0) I honesty can't believe I am still hanging in there...BUT HERE I AM so tomorrow's another day, as they say, and I am praying for the strength to make it through just one more. Day. By. Day. Is how I have to tackle things...the same way I would eat an elephant...just one bite at a time ;0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny B Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Congrats! I am on Day 8 today and I feel pretty damn good about myself (1 week all done)!!! I am feeling a bit bloated too, but I had cashews the last 2 days, so that may be why. Although I didn't have very many. We will see. I would love to get the pork carnitas recipe from you (or is in the Whole30 book)? If it is, I can get it there! LOL! I have too many references and can't keep u sometimes! I am definitely doing the crockpot tomorrow! A night off from cooking sounds divine!!! It am also going to make some meatballs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Marie Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Good for you ! I had a rough time on my 2nd W30 round - and was so proud of myself that I did not dive into my bottle of plum wine. So I am proud of you to keep your face out of the bottle !! there are also sauces in well fed 2 - I have made a few of them and love them all. Almost Amba is DELISH and wonderful on pork.. also love the bbq sauce.. I actually sweetened it a bit more by adding apple juice.. it also thinned it a bit - it was too thick for me. I usually eat the meatballs naked ! the Bora Bora meatballs are wonderful -Cech also yummy ! - also make an Asian meatball from Nom Nom paleo. (www.nomnompaleo.com) that has sweet potatoes in it (I shred mine) - I just love the meatballs and they certainly have become a stable for me. If I do not prepare - then there might be an excuse to get the pizza... keep up the good work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margot Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 I think I can??? Feeling a bit discouraged today and having a hard time shaking it... DAY 10 was ok...ate leftovers all day and did not cook so that was good ;0) Really hit a wall about 5 and was just wiped out all evening. Maybe cause I haven't worked out the last few days??? Feel like I'm losing my motivation to see this through...not feeling like I can't do it...just not seeing the changes I thought I would and wondering if it's going to work for me or not...still having stomach discomfort and feeling bloated most of the time. DAY 11 is here and I don't have much of a plan for the day...need to look through some recipes and see what I can find... I'm feeling a bit like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh today....."oh bother.....", lol Here's hoping I can shake it! Have a fantabulous day all!!!

jmcbn Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 ...still having stomach discomfort and feeling bloated most of the time.... Are you eating a lot of nuts/nut butters? Cruciferous or raw veg? Are you drinking seltzer? All of these things can cause stomach bloat & digestive discomfort if taken in large quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not...have been eating cabbage but not in large quantities and I cut out nuts a few days ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 No, I'm not...have been eating cabbage but not in large quantities and I cut out nuts a few days ago... Maybe try adding in some fermented foods like sauerkraut or kombucha, and you could also try a digestive enzyme - particularly if you're not used to eating so much animal protein.

Tina Marie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Just take 1 day at a time - no need to worry about tomorrow - (ok maybe have a food plan for tomorrow ) but just focus on this 24 hr time frame. YOU CAN DO IT !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
