Jane.Dawson Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just a preface here. I'm starting this log for me. Seems like the best place to do it. I'm not perfect, doing the best I can with my circumstances. So no judgment. If you'd like to encourage, that's great. If not, I probably already know when I've done something wrong, but thanks though. Day 1 - Started on a Monday, after my busiest weekend of the year - and I'm not kidding. Should have been more prepared. Read both books the week before. Breakast - 2 eggs, non compliant bacon and an apple Lunch - Tuna, green beans and olives Almond snack Dinner - Chicken, and roasted (Olive oil) sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, red onion with balsamic vinegar. Day 2 Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs and a banana Almond snack Late lunch - left over chicken and veggies Dinner - sick with a terrible cold and asleep by 6:30 Day 3 - Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs and a banana Lunch - Tuna, 1 egg, lettuce, tomato, carrots and wholly guac. Almond snack (I have to find something different) Dinner - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane.Dawson Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I guess I didn't realize when I made this post topic that the heading was for all of my log. Anyone know how to edit it? And dinner on Day 3 - was ground venison, Newman's own Fire Roasted tomato sauce over baby spinach. Olive oil, summer squash, zucchini, onion and mushrooms. Yumm!

Jane.Dawson Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Day 4 Thought I slept better Day 2, but last night I had terrible aches, cramping in my left knee and ankle. Fairly common for me, but I was hoping that would go away. Meal 1 - 2 boiled eggs and banana Meal 2 - leftover venison, tomato sauce, sautéed veggies (from last night) and 1/2 avocado. Uggh something is making me feel horrible - intestinal cramps, etc. And I sooo want a diet coke to get me through the afternoon at work. Looking for some hot tea.

Jane.Dawson Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Didn't post this weekend. Day 5 evening - definitely hit the kill anyone stage and had a slight meltown. Stayed after work too long and then visited at my brother's garage. Didn't make it home until 7pm and didn't have the ingredients for what I wanted to try. I should have just ate leftovers, but ended up making something awful, but compliant. My hubs try to tell me it was OK. I wanted cauliflower rice, but only had old frozen cauliflower which went in trash. I made an attempt at curry - with coconut milk, some spices I had turmeric, cumin, chilli powder (no curry). Broccoli slaw, broccoli, shrimp. I don't even remember what else I ate. I hate a meltdown and then made Whole30 compliant egg muffins for breakfast. 9 eggs, some coconut milk Browned ground venison And whatever leftover veggies I had. Summer squash mushrooms Onion Spinach cilantro, salt, pepper I used muffin papers in the muffin tin and poured mixture in each cup 3/4 full Topped with a split grape tomato and baked for approx. 25 min. Day 6 - Out the door at 8 am and back at 10:30 pm. - to Des Moines for 2 marching band competitions. We had planned to come home between but didn't so that made for an interesting day Meal 1 - 2 egg muffins and blueberries Snack - Almonds and dried plums tidbits Black coffee at the band contest (instead of cocoa) Meal 2 - ate at the mall with the band kids and parents. Went to Wok place and asked for chicken and veggies, no rice and no sauce. Not sure what oil they use Went to Whole Foods to shop - compliant bacon and sausages. Got dried coconut and some other things I can't get at home. Meal 3 - (all things I bought at Whole Foods to eat at the band contest picnic style - instead of concession food) Applegate chicken Wholly guac - carrots Unsweetened applesauce snacked more on almonds, coconut, and banana chips my husband bought. - need to watch this Overall I'm proud of myself that I stayed on plan - even with unexpectedly being out of the house all day. Day 7 - feel esp. well today even with lack of sleep. Pain in my wrists and leg are gone. Meal 1- 2 egg muffins and 1/2 banana, coffee. Communion at church Meal 2 - Ate at home before the soccer game. Leftover mahi mahi soaked in coconut milk and nut crust Sweet potato unsweetened applesauce (need to get some apples that I like) Boys wanted to stop at Orange Leaf after the soccer game. I stayed in the car, and then they BROUGHT IT TO THE CAR TO EAT WITH ME! Uggh but I opened the windows so I couldn't smell it and resisted. Ate blueberries that I somehow left in the console from yesterday. Oh well. Snacked on almonds, banana chips and coconut - need to get this out of the house Meal 3 (my favorite to date) Applegate - 1 1/2 chicken apple sausages (I could have ate 2) Sauerkraut Fresh steamed green beans stayed up until midnight painting - need to get to bed sooner. I also don't think I drank enough water over the weekend like I do at work. Noticed my Calm that I have to have at night for my RLS has organic stevia in it. But I made the decision I'm going to continue it as I use it as medicine, not sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane.Dawson Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Day 8 - I felt really well again yesterday (posting a day late) Proud of myself for the weekend and sticking with this a 2nd week M1 - 2 egg muffins, banana, black coffee M2 - Lettuce, Applegate chicken, grape tomatoes, Annie's Tuscany Dressing, green beans. Raw carrots and wholly guac SN- Almonds, dried plums, and coconut M3 - grilled pork, sweet potato, brussell sprouts with balsamic vinegar (yum!) There will be a potluck at work on Wednesday (Day 10 for me) that I am really worried about. Small office and my office is basically in the break room. There will be crockpots and plates of goodies out. I thought about calling in sick, lol. Made a plan and signed up for deviled eggs - boiled them tonight. I'll bring my own meat and veggies and just eat with them. Stayed up until midnight finishing a painting project - need to try to get more sleep Day 9 - I can tell I didn't have enough sleep. headache and my lower back hurts (probably from sitting on concrete or contorting to finish waxing) M1 - 2 egg muffins, banana, black coffee - I don't think I mind the same thing for breakfast yet M2 - Lettuce, tuna, grape tomatoes. Sweet potato. Raw carrots and wholly guac. Just realized I forgot any dressing. not sure what I'm doing about that - use the guac I guess. No snack - I did not bring almonds to work with me on purpose - we'll see how this goes. M3 - will be the Applegate sausages and sauerkraut with fresh green beans. I am looking forward to that! I've decided to tack one more day on to cover the Day 1 where I started with noncompliant bacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane.Dawson Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Day 12 - one of my most stressful days at work, nothing went well and I ended up in car for over 4 hours. M1 - new egg muffins. These have mushrooms, zucchini, Pedersen bacon, salsa. Part of a white nectarine. Stress and I ate my snack of cashews, coconut. Texted hubs that it was too much and I was having wine and chocolate at work. He talked me down and encouraged me. Off for the rest of the day in car. M2 - chicken breast, Apple and carrots. Didn't have any other veggies to eat in the car. Stopped once and only got ice tea! M3 - chicken breast, green beans, sweet potato. Off to football game so I took more nuts for snack instead of concession stand. I know I have to break this but don't know how. I know we shouldn't snack but I'm on the go so much I'm not sure how to manage that. Overall I'm proud of myself that even with this crazy day I stayed compliant. Even if it wasn't pretty.

Jane.Dawson Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 I just wanted to say for anyone looking at this, that even though I've been MIA, I've not fallen off the wagon. I've stayed Whole30 compliant and on plan. I was logging in my head, thinking I would have time to get on here and write it down. I may have lost track now - but really I can meal plan and do it now without writing it all down. I did have a food dream on Day 14, right on schedule, even though I thought that concept was funny. I was riding in car, and someone offered me gooey chocolate cake, lol. I've been traveling alot and packing food for the day. I did find a local FB 21 Day Challenge group, not necessarily Whole30, but mostly Paleo and exercise accountability. I will be posting and logging my meals/excersise on there for now on. Hopefully that group will keep me accountable and on track after my 30 days are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
