fmr_sailor Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Reading your food diary from yesterday makes me feel like a hog! Now I'm thinking I ate too much.... But I woke up early and *hungry* this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 NO! fmr_sailor don't think that way. I saw your food from yesterday and it looked great!.I ate at the top of the template the first time around for the whole 30 days. This time though, I'm completely laid up with a broken foot so getting zero exercise. Plus I'm working on recognizing satiety cues. So, I'm eating the lesser amounts on the template and then seeing if I'm full or if I need more. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great!

fmr_sailor Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think trying to avoid snacking is causing me to choose to eat at the top. I'm so used to snacking, but now when I eat I'm thinking I don't want to need to eat avian before the 4-5 hours passes. So far so good. And I am concerned about my running and teaching classes, so I am trying not to end up in a deficit that takes days to catch up on. That said, I'm still hoping to drop some weight this month. I guess we aren't supposed to want that, but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenX Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I bet you do. I lost 8-9 lbs the first time (didn't do a pre W30 weigh in, so just going off how my clothes fit). And I was eating Pre/Post WO + meals and the occasional snack if I was truly hungry. Never once felt deprived and often marveled over the AMOUNT of food I was packing away. Especially the amount of dietary fat! Just trust the template. It'll work. And the NSVs are totally amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Day 3I'm already seeing improvement in my sleep patterns. Went to bed early last night and up early this morning feeling refreshed instead of groggy. Mentally preparing for the 3-day weekend. I do so much better when I'm at work - free time is hard for me to handle. And so long as I'm still in this damn frankenboot with the broken foot I don't have as many options to distract myself. Still, I will persevere. I'm charging up the laptop so I can play in the forum if nothing else works. And will drink tea and bone broth when I want to munch from boredom today.M1 chicken curry,w/ sweet potato, zucchini, onion, rbp, spinach, 1 HB egg, 2 cups black coffee.M2 taco salad (same as day 1) plus egg salad made w/ 2 eggs and thumb-sized dollop of mayo. Ate 2/3rd salad - got full.snack - 1HB egg w mayo, cranberry kombutchaM3 - 1.5 palms of steak w lizard sauce, fennel salad, potato w ghee. 4 olives.After dinner, coffee w coconut milkH20 Intake 80[bm 3+, 3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Day 4 - Feeling better today, no headache and bounced out of bed at 5:40am. Breakfast was NOT within an hour of waking though (M1 fail). I thought i still had hash cooked in the fridge but didn't. Then I decided I wanted to cook off some bacon first. it all took too long so breakfast was closer to 90 minutes? I think. On top of that as I was cooking and eating I guess I was super hungry. I ended up making 4 eggs bc 3 didn't look enough in the bowl, and putting way too much on my plate. M1 - 4 egg scrambled in bacon fat, 2 strips bacon, veggies (cooked in bacon fat) onion, rbp, mushroom, zucchini, & power greens. 2 cups coffee. Ended up leaving at least 1/2 that 4th egg on the plate for the dog, and put about 1/4 of the veg back in the fridge. Looks like I need to start dishing less food! M2 - chicken salad, 2 zucchini fritters M3 - pork ribs with lizard sauce (pretty sure i'd eat this sauce on everything!), roasted brussels sprouts w/ bacon, leftover fennel salad, green olives. 1bottle kombucha H20 Intake 100 [bm 3+, 2+] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenX Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Day 6 - I'm a little draggy this morning. I slept a bit rough due to discomfort in my foot and having to get up to pee 2x.

fmr_sailor Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wanted to jump in here and say "hey." I'm restarting tomorrow. I've gained some perspective, and I understand more of what happened to me Saturday. I was so emotional, not thinking clearly from the withdrawals. Like PMS, but a shade more intense. Glad to see you're doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 @fmr_sailor - Hey! I really am so glad you recognized what was going on. The hormone rebalancing that goes on the first week or 2 can be intense. My sister last time mssg'd me that she was sitting on the laundry room floor crying and she didn't know why - and she is not a crier! I know you can tough it out this time. And you should be through the worst of it, even with non-compliant foods you had. Really won't set you back that far if at all.I'm feeling pretty good today, but am having bouts of fatigue. I'm a few days out from starting my period, so I'm sure that's why. I noticed I had carby veg with 2 meals yesterday and didn't even think about it. Had a small amount of potato with breakfast this morning.M1 3 eggs scrambled 1 thumb chicken fat, along with kale and bacon. Roasted veg (broc, green beans, Brussels sprouts, rbp, onion, Yukon gold potato), 2 fresh tomatoes, 3 cups black coffee (really tastes good today, indulging in an extra cup).Pre-workout - HB egg w/ mayoM2 chicken salad on a bed of baby spinach, 2 zucchini fritters, 1 cup chx bone brothM3 kahlua pig with lizard sauce, roasted potatoes (KA Ketchup), coleslawH20 Intake 75 + 4 cups herbal tea, 1 bottle Kombucha Exercise (so nice to be able to include that line!) - 15 minutes elliptical; 15 minutes recumbent bike, upper body weights, abs. 1 hr at the gym total.[bm: 2+, 2 - no bueno.

JenX Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 M1 3 eggs scrambled in thumbnail of ghee, Onion, RBP, Mushroom, finely chopped kale, sauteed in 1 thumb schmaltz, (ate 1/2), 1/2 avocado, 1 fresh tomato, 2 cups black coffeeM2 chicken salad on a bed of baby spinachM3 baked chicken leg and wing, skin from breast, roasted veg (broc, rbp, onion, b.sprouts, green beans) sauerkraut, green olives, Cauli-rice.Exercise - offH20 Intake 65 water + 5 cups tea + 16 oz Kombucha.[bm: 3+] Note about M3. My plate was very overloaded. I had a chicken leg, thigh and wing, the extra skin from the breast (chopped the meat up for chix salad), probably 1/4 cup of kraut, 7-8 olives, 1.5c roasted veg, at least 2/3rd cup cauli-rice. I ate around the plate until only thing left was the chicken thigh and I had to think about it for a solid 10 minutes. Was I full enough, or did I need to eat that too. I ended up deciding against and put it in the fridge. I was hungry by 10:00 (only 2 hrs after dinner). by 10:30 I grabbed a closed handful of Macadamia nuts. Guess I should have eaten the thigh! LOL!

JenX Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Holy crap! So many new logs I got bumped to page 2! I may need to post more often Observations on this glorious Day 9. well, that says it all. My mood is buoyant! I woke up at 5:10am and NOT because of the cats for a change. I was simply, pleasantly awake and ready for the day. In addition to breakfast and clean-up I got about 2/3rd of the front weeded while my friend took my dog out for a run. So glad she's willing to do this to me while my foot heals. Ripley (the dog) will really miss out when that friend goes on vacation next week. Hopefully by then I can at least take her on some walks, but in the foot boot it is so awkward and tiring. M1 3 eggs scrambled in thumbnail of bacon fat, onion, RBP, Mushroom, finely chopped kale, sautéed in 1 thumb schmaltz, (ate 1/2), 1/2 avocado, 1 fresh tomato, 3 cups black coffee Pre-Workout - 1 HB egg, mayo, 3 small roma tomatoes M2 Kahlua Pig (less than a full palm) on raw spinach with lizard sauce, leftover chicken thigh, coleslaw with a bit of extra mayoM3 Beef hamburger patties, roasted potatoes, cauliflower rice night-time snace. A closed handfull of mac nuts. no more of those! I'll put them in the freezer.Exercise - Recumbent bike for 20 min, AMT, for 10 min [Cardio = 30 minutes] Upper body machines, Abs & pushups. 1:00 at gym . H20 Intake [bm - 4 - things are going in the right direction! IBS be banished!] one note I think I see a pattern in that when I eat baby spinach things get better. Had spinach today, but will cut out the next 2 days so I can see if that pattern is real, or imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenX Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Day 14 M1 3 scrambled eggs, sautéed kale, onion, mush, rbp, zucchini 1/2 avocado, 2 tomato, 3 cups black coffeeM2 Shepherd's pie & coleslaw, large cup of bone broth. (this was my post WO and I totally forgot the carby veg again. need to get back into the swing of exercising.)M3 3 chicken legs, 2c roasted potato, 2c roasted veg (sprouts, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, red bell pepper), 1 thumb mayo** Huge dinner, heavy on carbs to try to curb my evening snacking and it seemed to work. Was an EMBARRASSINGLY large amount of food. I still think the munchies are PMS related and once I start will subside. H20 Intake 100, 2 c herbal tea, 1 LaCroix exercise - 30 minutes recumbent bike, 10 on AMT. No weights today, just cardio. bm - 4 It's so funny. I've had scrambled eggs every morning (for the most part) this Whole 30 and I just can't get enough. Came in to work this morning, and the eggs they supplied for the meeting smelled absolutely VILE! Not sure if it's because I had had breakfast not too long ago, or if the eggs they use are vile to begin with. Hah! Had too many nuts again yesterday, (see my note about snacking after dinner), but didn't suffer for it. Had a very normal BM and am super pleased! So, maybe it wasn't the nuts that caused the problem...?? I thought it had to be either that or the liverwurst, but had both last night will no ill effects. Huh. dunno.
