[jolong]

As I am starting Day 3 I just noticed this area to log my progress. 

 

So here is what I had on Day 1:

Breakfast:

Coffee

Frittatta with spinach, onion, tomato

 

Lunch:

Tuna with compliant mayo, onions, cucumber, and wrapped in lettuce leaves

Salad with spinach, cucumber, tomato, and compliant vinagarette

Bartlett pear

 

Preworkout:  hardboiled egg

Postworkout:  red potatoe

 

Dinner: 

Tilapia

Sweet potatoe

Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots

 

I did not really feel hungry throughout the day, but probably drank more coffee than I should have.

 

Day 2 meals:

Breakfast:

Frittata with spinach, onion, tomato

Coffee

1/2 orange

 

Lunch: 

Tuna with compliant mayo, onions cucumber, and wrapped in lettuce leaves

Salad with spinach, romaine, cucumber, avocado, oranges, and compliant vinagarette.

 

Snack:  1 1/2 hardboiled eggs

Tea

 

Dinner:

Compliant chicken fingers baked with an almond meal coating

cauliflower rice

peas and carrots...found out later peas are NOT compliant!  OOPS!

 

I am feeling pretty good and noticed I am naturally drinking more water.  But maybe I'm feeling ok today because I ate the peas when I shouldn't have!  lol 

 

I am not starting over though as the end date gives me enough time for reintroduction before attending a multi-day conference.  I don't want to have to worry about toting food along with me.

I meant to post this over the weekend but didn't get a chance to.

 

Here were my meals for a couple of days:

prewo snack

hard boiled egg

 

postwo snack

Dinner:

Day 4 was Saturday and I was worried about this day because I do a boot camp in the morning and right away after that I do a yoga class, so I don't get home til almost noon!  I don't usually like to eat before yoga, but I think I managed ok.

 

Prewo snack:

hard boiled egg

 

postwo snack:

1 baby red potato

I had this snack about 15 minutes after my boot camp class

 

Lunch:

fried potatoes in coconut oil

1 sausage patty with 2 fried eggs on top of a bed of spinach leaves

This has been my favorite breakfast so far!

 

Dinner:

Spaghetti squash with onions sautéed in ghee

steak

broccoli

 

I am feeling pretty good and find it amazing that I am not really hungry between meals!  When it is time to eat I'm usually ready to bring it on.

 

I also made a beef bone broth over the weekend and now I have a chicken bone broth stewing in the crockpot.

green beans

 

Dinner:

I had a yoga class after work this night and knew I wouldn't be home til after 7 so I figured I needed a little something to get me through.  Didn't have a postwo snack as the yoga class was pretty mellow.

Day 7 felt pretty good for me!  I did notice on Days 6 and 7 that at about 2:15 in the afternoon I could have snuggled up for a nap.  I guess one of my big accomplishments was making it through a weekend without red wine or Doritos!  Woohooo!

 

Here were my Day 7 meals:

 

Breakfast:

Frittata with sausage, onion, green pepper, spinach

pear

 

Lunch:

compliant chicken fingers

cauliflower rice

spinach salad with tomato, cucumbers, compliant vinagarette

pear

 

I snacked on a few olives before dinner

 

Dinner:

Red sauce with diced tomatoes, pork sausage, chicken, onion, garlic over a bed of spinach

spaghetti squash

 

This dinner was delicious and I am glad there are leftovers for me to enjoy!

Day 15...Halfway through and feeling great!  I know my pants are looser and even some co-workers have commented on that!  I skipped a few days of logging meals but it has been quite a whirlwind.  I was nervous about taking a weekend trip but it all worked out fine.  I managed to stay compliant even after eating out 3 times over the weekend.  I did have a couple extra snacks in there too, but I think that was mostly because of the long drive...we are munchers when we drive so I had some olives, carrots and guac ready to go.

 

Here is what I had on Day 14:

spinach, onion, green pepper frittata

raspberries

 

Lunch:

Pork chop

1/2 sweet potato

broccoli, cauliflower, carrots

small salad with compliant vinagarette

 

Prewo snack:

hard boiled egg

 

Postwo snack:

baby red potato

 

Dinner:

Pork chop with tomato/Italian sauce

spinach salad with tomato and compliant vinagarette

broccoli, cauliflower, carrots

baked apples

 

I still haven't even felt like snacking in between meals.  I noticed the pork chop meal is very filling for me.  I almost skipped my preworkout snack today because I just wasn't feeling that I could eat anything.  Maybe I need to start cutting back my portions...I will test that over the next couple days and see how it works out.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good.  Thinking I would have lots of extra time this morning to get ready, but I always forget how long it takes to pack my food for the day!  I ended up heading out the door almost 10 minutes late!

 

Here is what I had on Day 16:

 

Breakfast:

Frittata with onion, green pepper, spinach, potatoes

apple

 

Lunch:

Spinach salad with tomato, cucumber, compliant vinagarette

pear

 

Dinner:

Salmon patties with compliant ranch

Salad with tomato and compliant dressing

broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots

 

snack: 

hardboiled egg

 

We had company last night for dinner so I really wasn't paying attention to how much I was eating.  I should have had some more protein but I do NOT like those salmon patties...note to self...never make salmon patties again!  So this is basically why I ended up needing a snack...otherwise I have not been snacking.

 

And I'm feeling like I'm looking pretty great right now!  I slipped on a brand new pair of "skinny" jeans that are super comfortable and I don't feel like a I look like a whale!
