JulieP757 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hello hungry day! My hormones are kicking - the hot flashes are rolling and the night sweats have been waking me up. Had M1 at 7, but was hungry about 3 hours after eating it. I got caught up in meetings, so I made it to noon before I ate lunch. And again I was hungry 3 hours later. I finally succumbed and ate dinner at 4, which is way too early for me. I was hungry again when I got home at 7, so I had a mini-M4 of chicken stew w almond coconut cauliflower rice. Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Walked on the treadmill for about 20 minutes last night, then did a body pump class.

JulieP757 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 M1- 3 eggs scrambled w breakfast mix (turnips, onions, chicken apple sausage and mushrooms) and honeydew. Black coffee. No so hungry again this morning. In fact I feel stuffed most of the time these days. I'm eating the same quantities of food I always have - and pretty much the same foods as always, but it's taking 6 to 7 hours to get hungry between meals. M2 - Paleo meatloaf, baked sweet potato w ghee and a sprinkle of cinnamon and roasted veggies. M3 - big salad a baby greens and spinach, cucumber, red pepper, carrots, cherry tomatoes, half an avocado and a couple of olives topped w a grilled burger and dressed w EVOO and balsamic.

JulieP757 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 My hunger levels were back to normal yesterday. Did a body pump class in the evening and had a post work out snack of paleo meatloaf and cold sweet potato. Today's menu: M1- 3 eggs scrambled w breakfast mix (turnips, onions, chicken apple sausage and mushrooms) and a big handful of cherry tomatoes, honeydew and two slices of sweet potato w a couple tbsp of coconut milk and a sprinkle of toasted coconut and almonds. Black coffee. M2 - Paleo meatloaf, a couple slices of sweet potato w a couple tbsp coconut milk and a sprinkle of toasted coconut and almonds and roasted veggies.. M3 - ribeye steak, half a baked white potato w ghee and either a small salad or steamed broccoli. I may test some sour cream on my potato too. The sweet potato/coconut milk/coconut/almond thing is so delicious it's almost become an obsession. It's not a food without brakes though, so I think I'm good. Inspired by my success w the West African Chicken Nut Butter Stew recipe, I pulled out my Well Fed cookbook and decided to give a few recipes a go. I got a huge piece of pork shoulder. About 8 lbs. will go in the crockpot in the morning to make kalua pig. I'm down to one portion in my freezer and this is a staple. 4 lbs. will become Char Sui (Chinese BBQ Pork) that I will use in pork fried cauliflower rice. 4 lbs will become Carnitas that I am going to serve w Tostones. I have some chicken thighs in the freezer and I bought a spaghetti squash with the plan to make Pad Thai later in the week. Yum, Yum and Yum! I tried coconut aminos during my first WF30 and thought I had a reaction to them. I'm going to give it another go. And if I get all bloated, I'll get over it. I see great food in my future!

JulieP757 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Today was food prep day and boy did I cook. I made the Carnitas and Char Sui recipes in Well Fed. Decided to freeze the other 8 lbs of pork shoulder for now. Prepped green beans, carrots, yellow squash and zucchini for roasting later. Made a huge batch of breakfast mix - chicken apple sausage, turnips, onions, red pepper, mushrooms. I made mayo. I made pico de gallo with the gazillion cherry tomatoes we have in the garden, onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro and lime. I have a bit more to do later in the week. I bought a head of cabbage that I'm going to fry w onions in bacon grease and I'm making pork fried cauliflower rice for dinner tomorrow. M1 - 2 eggs scrambled w breakfast mix and a few cherry tomatoes, black coffee. M2 - tuna salad w onions, a squeeze of lemon, dijon and homemade mayo served on top of a salad of tomato, cucumber, red pepper and half an avocado. M3 - carnitas topped w pico de gallo and a side of tostones. Who knew fried green plantains would be so delicious?? I can't wait to try the ripe ones. I used avocado oil to fry them in and they were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 M1 - yes, I do eat like a linebacker. My bf says this often. People at work make comments like "how can you eat so much food and stay thin". I'd much rather eat lots of delicious Paleo food than to eat small quantities of junk. Today's feast - 3 eggs scrambled w breakfast mix and tomatoes served w a side of sweet potato (about 1/3 of a large one, topped w coconut milk and a sprinkle of toasted coconut and almonds. Yum! I didn't have any sweet potato yesterday and I think I was in withdrawal - LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Had a hard boiled egg for my PWO meal. Walked for 45 minutes on the treadmill and then took a body pump class. M2 was immediately after the workout and was paleo meatloaf, roasted veggies and more sweet potato w coconut milk and a sprinkle of coconut and almonds. Made the Char Sui Fried Rice out of the Well Fed cookbook with a couple of additions - finely diced carrots, a little more coconut aminos and a sprinkle of flaked red pepper. It was OUTSTANDING. So freaking tasty! I almost hope the kids hate it - more for me. I don't really like the char sui by itself, but it's wonderful in this dish. Well worth the effort (lots and lots of chopping).

JulieP757 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 M1 was yummy - 3 over easy eggs cooked over breakfast mix, 2 small slices of sweet potato w ghee and a small peach. Nothing really planned this weekend - starting off lazy. Went for a 4 mile hike. M2 - Pad Thai from Well Fed. I really liked it - the kids did not like it at all. Good! More for me! I think I'm just so starved for something different - plain meat and roasted veggies got boring all the sudden. No idea what's on the menu for M3. I'm thinking more Pad Thai.

JulieP757 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 M3 - Crack Slaw made w coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Used about 1 tsp of sugar instead of the Splenda. Was very tasty. Also had a sautéed ripe plantain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 The kids are still raving about the crack slaw and asked me to make more. I'm going to leave out the sugar this go round. M1 today - big serving of breakfast mix ( about a whole chicken sausage in it) topped w two over easy eggs and half a ripe plantain fried in coconut oil. Delish! M2 - leftover Pad Thai (recipe from Well Fed) M3 - probably crack slaw again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Changed my mind on M2. Had leftover sauteed chicken breast w a big dollop of sunshine sauce, big serving of coconut almond cauliflower rice and a couple slices of sweet potato w ghee. Heading to the gym at 4 for an hour of treadmill followed by a body pump class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ugh - I got into the dried fruit (raisins and cherries) last night and couldn't stop. I.AM.A.SUGAR.ADDICT.

M2 - leftover crackslaw and about 1/3 cup sweet potato w ghee M3 - Italian pork roast, about 1/3 cup sweet potato w ghee and lots of roasted veggies I will not eat dried fruit.

JulieP757 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Another lousy conference food experience - breakfast was fruit, every pastry imaginable, bagels and sweetened yogurt. Plenty of juice and soda to go with it. Lunch was a variety of sandwiches and wraps - every one of which had some sort of cheese. Ugh - I deconstructed one but managed to miss a piece of blue cheese. I thought about spitting it out, but that's just gross. My jeans are now tight and they weren't when I put them on this morning. I am THAT sensitive to cheese. Lunch also had fruit, but it was coated in some sort of sweet poppyseed dressing, and BBQ potato chips - and plenty of cookies and brownies for dessert. The afternoon snack was bowls of candy and a platter of cheese, crackers and fruit. Good thing I'm not on a WF30 right now. And good thing I ate like a linebacker for M1 this morning. M1 (at home) - 3 over easy eggs on top of breakfast mix w chicken apple sausage, turnips, onions, mushrooms, tomato and red pepper and half a baked potato sautéed in ghee. M2 - two bites of deli turkey, a small slice of chicken breast, a piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato - oh and a microscopic piece of blue cheese that I missed when deconstructing the sandwich. Good thing I ate a lot at M1 M3 - (at home) Italian pork roast and sweet potato w ghee. There will be a M4 today. M3 is to make up for not eating much at M2.

JulieP757 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 M4 was eaten out with the bf. Green salad w oil and vinegar, small steak, baked potato w sour cream. The "butter" they had was soybean oil margarine. No thank you. I'd rather eat dairy Sour cream is one of the few dairy items that are fine for me.
