NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 DAY 32 Breakfast: fried eggs (3/me & 4/hubby), mixed greens, sauteed cauliflower, broccoli, onions red bell pepper & 1 Tbsp mayo Lunch**: steak, baked potato, grilled veggies and salad w/olive oil/balsamic vinegar drizzle Dinner: can of tuna, large salad (mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, strawberries & a few almonds) w/ olive oil/balsamic vinegar drizzle. ** Lunch was eaten in a restaurant. As I stated in my previous post - We asked to have the veggies grilled in olive oil; and the dish originally came with rice and we asked if we could substitute a baked potato (no problem). It was delish and very filling. It just so happens I have an organization luncheon at this restaurant on Wed and guess what I am ordering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 DAY 33 --- Got my haircut today --- a nice way to seal the WHOLE 30. Breakfast: MR. STUDIO CITY: Fried eggs, sauteed veggies and 1/2 sweet potato NY2LA2MONTREAL: Larabar** Lunch: burgers (1/me & 2/hubby), roasted broccoli and mayo Dinner: chicken and green beans ** Mr. Studio City was to wake me up at 7AM so I could prepare breakfast and get ready for my hair appointment. I also had to take my antibiotics. They must be taken with food. BUT.... it never happened. We overslept and got up at 9:23AM and my appointment (1/2 hour away) was at 10AM. So, while playing THE WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE in my head....I quickly got ready -- ate the Larabar so I could take my medication and shot out of house like a bat out of hell. Made it to the appointment 10 min late because of traffic. Hair looks great and I wasn't hungry. When I came home...I drank lots of water and then had lunch.

klassyart Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've been meaning to ask - when you have sweet potatoes for breakfast, how are they fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've been meaning to ask - when you have sweet potatoes for breakfast, how are they fixed? Very easy..... I clean the skin, stab it a million times (okay - just 5 or 6 times depending on the size of the potato) and wrap up in a paper towel - then put in the microwave for 5-6 min. depending again on the size of the potato. Then I just let it sit for a minute. Then slice lengthwise in half and mash the insides. I eat them plain, but you could put anything you want on them. I hope this helps.

NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 DAY 39 (September 20, 2015) --- TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY AND I FEEL GREAT..... MY HUSBAND TOOK ME OUT FOR LUNCH...... Breakfast: fried eggs (3 me/4 hubby) 2 salmon fish cakes 1/2 avocado, cucumber and tomato Lunch: sirloin steak, baked potato, grilled veggies. Instead of putting butter on the potato...drizzled EVOO and Balsamic Vinegar (delish) Then ordered a piece of birthday cake. The plan was to order one (1) slice with 4 forks and my husband and I would take one (1) bite and send the leftovers home with my mother in law who joined us. It was an OREO CAKE -- chocolate layer cake with whipped cream layered in between. I took my fork and very gingerly took a bite and a half. I savored it to see if I really wanted more and the answer was NO NO. First of all it didn't taste good and 2nd it gave me a headache and an upset stomach within a few minutes. It was a WOW moment. My husband and I don't want it...OMG!!! I can't believe it. We would have been all over that cake before WHOLE 30 and today I could care less and it was to celebrate my birthday and it didn't do anything for me -- HOW EXCITING IS THAT!!!!! Dinner: left over chicken drumsticks made pseudo Nom Nom Paleo style (didn't have the Coconut Aminos or Fish Sauce), roasted eggplant, onions and fennel and strawberries. TODAY WAS A GREAT "BIRTH" DAY!!!!!!! IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they wanted to make something festive with a decadent dessert but we told them: NO WINE, NO SUGAR, NO BEANS (including vegetable oil), NO GRAINS and NO DAIRY. They listened and looked up on WHOLE 30.COM what we COULD EAT and presented us with the following DELISH meal: Roast beef, roasted sweet potatoes, and broccoli and mayo (I made and brought home made mayo to enjoy with the meal and it was enthusiastically received. I just emailed the recipe to them.) with sliced pineapple and black coffee. They were very impressed with our progress and commitment to the WHOLE 30. We are blessed to have these two wonderful, thoughtful people in our lives. In 8 min. it will be Mr. Studio City's birthday - and what a special birthday it is....a very HAPPY AND HEALTHY ONE!!!!!

Stephany Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is awesome to read! Congrats on all your progress so far. And not having cake on a birthday is a HUGE one, especially in social situation with a family. Yay for you! From the day I started (September 23) it will be about 46 days until my husband and I have our honeymoon (we're going a bit after we got married, which was earlier this month). I was thinking of doing Whole30 until the very day we take off, but that wouldn't give me time to do a reintroduction period. So, I'm going to complete this Whole30 on October 22, do the reintroduction, and then start a new Whole 30 when we get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I have a wedding to go to in October. We will be compliant until then. Then we will make very strategic decisions. Our reintro will be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slow. We really DO NOT MISS the foods we eliminated. We will be in the states a week after the wedding (in Delaware) and will watch what we eat. -- When we come home we will jump back onto the saddle. WE LOVE THE FOOD WE ARE EATING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 DAY 48 (September 29, 2015) --- Very busy day..... Had to be at my mother in law's very early this morning to pack up the car with items to be moved into her new residence, then we had to be at the residence and wait for delivery from IKEA for pieces of furniture to be delivered between 1 and 5PM...they didn't arrive until 5:15 PM. Packed a compliant lunch and waited -- once delivery was made we assembled everything but 3 chairs --- tomorrow is another day.

NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 DAY 49 (September 30, 2015) --- As Yogi Berra used to say...."It's Deja Vu all over again" Had to be at my mother in law's very early this morning to wait for St Vincent de Paul to pick up the furniture my mother in law is NOT taking to her new residence. We were going to hold back her night tables and chest of drawers and donate her dresser w/huge mirror along with the head and foot boards, a wall unit, 2 chairs, beautiful wood end table, kitchenette set --- BIG SURPRISE -- they would ONLY take the complete bedroom set or nothing at all. This did not sit well with my mother in law...but we convinced her it was for a good cause. So we took her to IKEA to pick out bedroom furniture. IKEA said they would deliver between 5 & 9PM tonight - we completed the remaining 4 chairs while we waited and when the new furniture arrived -- Mr. Studio City started assembling (he wants a TShirt that says "IKEA ASSEMBLYMAN" One box did not contain any hardware -- so tomorrow it is back to IKEA for the missing hardware. Today was stressful. First of all to see my mother in law upset was unnerving considering she is so excited about moving and up until this "BIG SURPRISE" she has been nothing but a happy participant. So we were unprepared food wise for dinner and I felt really bad. I had some nibbles (sliced cucumber, bell peppers and tomato) and we didn't get home until late. I had a larabar to sustain me until we got home...but Mr. Studio City would not. When we got home, I had a hard boiled egg w/mayo --- Mr. Studio City made a compliant concoction. M1: burgers (1/me - 2/hubby) cucumber and tomato and 1/2 avocado M2: leftover spaghetti squash and chicken meatballs Snack (NY2LA2MONTREAL) - Larabar M3: Mr. Studio City: Eggs sauteed onions and plantains NY2LA2MONTREAL - hardboiled egg and mayo Tomorrow we finish assembling furniture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY2LA2MONTREAL Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 DAY 50 (October 1, 2015) --- WHO'D A THUNK???? 50 DAYS - NO SUGAR, DAIRY, GRAINS AND BEANS Today we went directly to my mother in laws new apartment to finish assembling her bedroom furniture. I wanted to make sure we had enough food to get us to dinner. Packed up the tea kettle (so we could have coffee), cut up cucumber, tomato and bell peppers, packed mixed greens, big can of salmon and hard boiled eggs and 2 oranges. Me. Studio City was assembling furniture from 2PM to 7:30PM. It looks beautiful -- Now tomorrow we bring over everything that is NOT going on the moving truck so it is safe and out of the way. We plan on taking 2 cars to get everything over in hopefully 2 trips. THEN SATURDAY -- it is moving day for my mother in law -- she is excited and so are we. M1: scambled eggs (8) w/onions and avocado - tomato and cucumber M2: salad w/ mixed greens, canned salmon, hardboiled eggs, cucumber, tomato and bell pepper and orange M3: red trout, green beans and baked potato Tonight after dinner and while watching the Montreal Canadiens lose - I made a batch of chocolate chili and roasted a chicken so we will have food tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
