Elizabeth! Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Day 2 So I reintroduced white rice yesterday. I also had some boudin, which is cajun sausage stuffed with dirty rice. The boudin did not have ingredients listed. Last night I felt like crap. Not sure what it was from I had a little fever too. That might be from the virus my 5 year old had earlier in the week or from whatever was in that boudin. I have no idea. Took some tylenol this morning and I feel much better. My money is on the virus. I am back to whole30 rules today and for the weekend. I'll try the rice again next week I started an 30 day abs challenge yesterday and I am still on track and only a little sore from that. As a bit of back ground, this was my 3rd successful whole30 and I am 3 months postpartum. I have three kids, 5, 3 and 3 months. I had the last via csection so my core is still very week because I was afraid to do anything with it for so long. After my whole 30 I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I need to rebuild my strength. So that is where I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth! Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Day 4 Back to feeling good. Yesterday I was unexpectedly out of the house more than I thought I would be. I had taco meat, onions peppers and guacamole for lunch, then left to run errand. One of the errands led me to decide it was time to buy a new car. So I got home and got my husband and kids packed up and we headed to the dealer ship. I grabbed a Lara bar. I had my dad came and picked up the kids, but we were at the dealership until almost 8. I usually eat dinner at 6:30. Because I am fat adapted now that Lara bar kept me from feeling famished and heading for the vending machine. I did not even feel hungry when I got home. I ate, but didn't feel I just had too. I did run light on veggies yesterday, so I am making up for it today. I am calling yesterday a win. I am doing well waking in the morning and doing my ab work. Today is a rest day. I did lots of squats yesterday to and am a bit soar. Knees and hip still feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth! Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Day 6 I have a cold, bleh. I did my abs this morning but my whole body is sore. I have no idea if it is the rice or the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth! Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Day 6 again There are Worlds Finest chocolate covered almonds in the kitchen at work today. This is a trigger food for me. If I eat one, I'll eat 2 boxes. (If I stop at that) They are so yummy. I will not buy a box and I am leaving all my cash at home tomorrow just in case they are still there.

Elizabeth! Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I survived yesterdays worlds finest chocolate battle. Someone even bought some for me and put a box on my desk. I returned it. I did lose the sweets battle later that night, but not with a trigger food. We went to a national night out neighborhood party. I had a compliant dinner, but did splurge on a snow cone with my kids. This morning I had cabbage, bacon and eggs for breakfast with coffee and coconut milk. Not sure what is for lunch, since I did not cook last night. I have some compliant meat loaf and pre-made paleo meals in the freezer here at work just for such occasions. (The chocolate covered almonds are still in the kitchen...the struggle is real) Oh I did not do my abs this morning. Woke up an hour late. My 3 year old required after midnight rocking and I lost 2 hours of sleep. I am going to try to get to them this evening, but chances are slim. I might have to use this as my rest day and skip the next rest day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth! Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Day 8 I feel like I come here to confess my sins. I ate some paleo brownies yesterday. They were good. Not chocolate covered almonds, but still yummy. Since that is two days in a row I had sweets, I am going to go 3 days no sugar. Just to smack my sugar dragon around a bit. I found time last night to do my ab work out so I am on a rest day today. I am going to add some squats to my abs routine. I am no longer sore and my cold is subsiding. The baby might be getting sick though. I had a good breakfast today, packed my lunch with leftovers from last night and have flank steak and sweet potatoes planned for tonight. Go Thursday!!!

Elizabeth! Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Day 12 I eat a lot of chocolate. I like chocolate. (At least it is enjoy life chocolate) Had coconut milk chia pudding for breakfast this morning with a banana. It was good, but I don't have faith that it will hold me over until lunch like eggs and veggies do. We will see. I brought some paleo trail mix just in case. Everyone's candy jar is full here at work, so I need to be prepared if I get the urge to snack. Must stay far away from the candy jars. Ab Challenge is going well. I missed yesterday, today was a rest day so I did yesterday's work out today. 55 sit ups, 65 crunches, 33 leg raises and 42 second plank. The last few are hard every time, but I am getting stronger. 42 sec plank is crazy. I bought a under desk bicycle. It will be delivered today. I cant wait to try it out. I hope I did not wait my money. Here is to getting creative to add more exercise to my life. Did I tell you I have 3 kids 5, 3 and 3 months? Free time is hard to come by.
