Melissak222 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I decided today's the day. I need to do this. I've always been fit and healthy but things have gone down hill for me in the last few months. Too much snacking on crap and too much alcohol. I've been going to the gym regularly so that's not the problem. Here goes... Day 1 2 cups Coffee with canned coconut milk Smoked salmon, red and orange peppers and strawberries Pre WO 2 hard boiled eggs PWO. Sweet potatoes nod salmon Broccoli slaw salad with turkey Tonight should be interesting, I have a meeting to go to and it's a potluck. Ugh....

homerfrizzell Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Potluck, that's great - you control a dish right off the bat. What are you bringing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissak222 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Well, I was going to make Paleo broccoli salad but my Paleo mayo didn't turn out right for some reason.....it never got thick so it's super runny and yellow? Hmmmm....back to the drawing board..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissak222 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Day 2 Done I was really craving my coffee this morning with the creamy coconut milk and suprisinly I can tolerate it with out my usual pack and a half of stevia. Breakfast- 2 cups coffee with coconut cream, 3 eggs with the broccoli I made from last nights potluck, one strawberry Ran 5 miles Post WO- sweet potatoe and turkey Lunch- roast beef strawberries Snack- hard boiled egg Dinner- roast beef with cole slaw with a homemade dressing I was sooo unsatisfied after dinner and craving something more. Diet coke cravings up the wazzo. Just plain old hungry. Later in the evening I was craving wine. I had some berries with coconut cream drizzled on top. I got really tired early in the evening. Decent energy all day though. Still hungry.....maybe I didn't eat enough with that 5 mile run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVeep Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Oops. Sorry ,how rude of me. First Congratulations Melissa! Now, are you eating enough good fats to stave off the hunger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerfrizzell Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sounds like you navigated the pot luck OK - there must have been some temptations there. Nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissak222 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think I'm getting enough fats. How do I know? Oh, I did have a small handful of cashews with dinner, forgot. Yes, the potluck went good. I loaded up on veggies. Lots of temptations. Wine, cookies, pastas, etc. I avoided all. Yay me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissak222 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Day 3 DONE Slept like a rock last night but could've used a few more hours. Had crazy weird dreams. Decent energy all day but cravings galore this evening. Breakfast- eggs with veggies and guacamole Hardboiled egg pre-workout Got a great workout in PWO meal- turkey and sweet potatoes Lunch- made homemade chicken veggie soup. Had two bowls and an Aidells sausage. Dinner- roast beef and cole slaw with oil and vinegar I'm still hungry. I may snack on red peppers and guac. Also drank LaCroix today...twice. Is that ok? I'm assuming but is the carbonation ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissak222 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Day 4 Done Super hungry when I woke up. During the Whole 30 is it normal to have a really bad taste in your mouth first thing in the morning? Detoxing? My coffee wasn't quite as satisfying this morning...craved a little sweetness. Breakfast- three eggs with veggies, guacamole and a couple strawberries Lunch- big bowl of chicken veggie soup with diced avocado. Few cashews, strawberries. Dinner- Chipotle salad bowl with extra carnitas, mild salsa and guacamole. Took a great hot yoga class today and ran sprints for about 10 min today. Felt good to really sweat. It's been kinda hard feeding my kids and doing this. They had a cookies today and I smelled it for a looong time before I handed it over. Gosh, I'm really eating a lot of avocado but dang it's good. TRYING to keep the fruit light as well as the nuts. Is LaCroix ok to drink even though it's carbonated? I'm wondering if it's contributing to my bloated feeling?

homerfrizzell Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 LaCroix is carbonated water with "natural flavors". The carbonation isn't a problem and I'm pretty sure "natural flavors" are OK on W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissak222 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Day 5 Done Can't exactly remember what I ate but I did good, felt good. Got a good workout it. We had some neighbors over in the evening and I felt pressure. Well, not really pressure but I felt like I had to almost justify/defend what I was doing. People don't understand. People don't get it. I got 'it's not healthy to deprive yourself'....'you really shouldn't starve yourself'.....' I could never give up alcohol'....... Etc, etc,etc. People don't realize I'm probably eating more then them, more fat then them, more veggies then them and feeling good. Anyway, I made zucchini hummus with cut up veggies to snack on and drank my LaCroix. I felt like I didn't miss out on anything. Day 6 Woke up famished! Breakfast-2 cups coffee with coconut milk Fried egg Yellow peppers Lunch- chicken and avocado salad with tomatoes Snack-Lara bar Dinner- hamburger without bun with onions, pickle , lettuce, tomato We had a surprise 40th birthday party to go to. I wasn't too nervous about not drinking and getting hassled about it since I didn't know too many people there. I found a place to grab dinner that worked out fine. I avoided the carb loaded snacks at the party. Got home at a decent time. Wasn't drunk...slept great, got up early, getting stuff done before I have to get my boys at noon from the grandparents house. Big accomplishment for me. In the past, I'd drink until I was drunk or buzzed along with the hubs. Get home super late. Get a terrible night sleep. Be hung over and tired in the morning and be a complete waste of space. Im proud. It's not even 9am and I have laundry going and my kitchen is clean and I'm relaxing with my coconut cream coffee. I can be a good mommy when my kids get home because I won't be hung over. This afternoon we have a birthday lunch to go to but I'm not worried. There won't be pressure to drink and I already looked at the menu online. I'm going for the Bison burger w/out the bun!

Melissak222 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Day 6 DONE Breakfast- coffee with coconut cream, egg with steak Lunch-salmon salad & Kombucha Snack-lunch meat(Applegate Farms, no sugar added) Forgot to have a prewo snack Great workout PWO snack- sweet potatoes & roast beef Dinner-Well Feds Chocolate Chili and brussel sprouts and avocado Felt good today, good energy, less hunger,less cravings! First time I had Kombucha. I had the green algae kind. It exploded all over me when I opened it in the car, 5 min before I had to get out of the car and pick my kids up from school. Green slime all over my pants and my car. Yuck. It was really good though. Now I know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm.....not good. BUT....I didn't touch the cake, cookies, alcohol, pizza...etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerfrizzell Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It's hard to overdo pistachios because you have to shell them. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
