JulieP757 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Decided I should probably log my food in this Forum rather than the WF30 one since I'm not really following a true WF30 at the moment. Was going to IF today (I did yesterday), but woke up with a wicked sinus headache and needed some food in my stomach to be able to take meds. M1 - about 3/4 cup roasted spaghetti squash w about 1/2 cup meat sauce and black coffee. Off to do the errands and grocery shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 M2 - breakfast hash topped w 3 eggs, the last of the sautéed cabbage (about 1/3 cup), 1 small avocado and a taste of some dried cherries I bought for a sauce. Off to finish the errands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Dinner was late tonight. I had a full blown migraine and didn't get hungry until my meds kicked in. Had half a strip steak, a small baked potato w ghee and a Tbsp of sour cream and green beans. Delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Slept another 9 hours. This is becoming a trend. I fully expected my migraine to come back after the meds wore off (they last 12 hours), but so far so good. M1 was a 3 egg omelette w onions, red peppers and mushrooms cooked in ghee w 2 c black coffee. I made a special trip across town last night to the Harris Teeter to get some skin on organic chicken thighs. They had rows and rows of the skinless version. I spoke to the guy at the meat counter and asked if they had any in back. He said the skin on chicken thighs were their most popular Smart Chicken item. I said I totally get that - people probably want to make Cracklin Chicken, so why are you out of them? Why haven't you increased your ordering to meet demand? I made a special trip over here for those and it's highly irritating to find you don't have any. Anyhow, I ordered a case of them - 8 packages of 4 thighs each. They will be here on Wednesday. Now I don't know what to make for Sunday dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 The migraine came back with a vengeance and I think it's a symptom of the stomach virus I apparently have. I've had horrible stomach pains for the past two hours and now diarrhea. I managed to pull some chicken broth out of the freezer between episodes. I think that's all I'll be having today.

JulieP757 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Well, my range died last night. I had put potatoes in to bake and 10 minutes later I heard this incessant beeping. There was an error code flashing and the oven was on full blast and would not turn off - we had to throw the breaker. The pan the potatoes were on is black and ruined. The potatoes weren't far behind. It smelled like burning plastic in the kitchen too - I swear it was going to catch on fire. I ordered a stainless steel double oven that I've wanted forever. It will be here on Saturday. In the meantime, I'm using a NuWave induction cooker the kids bought off an infomercial. And I was on my deck grilling chicken at 6 am in my jammies. My neighbors must think I'm nuts. I think I can limp along using the NuWave, grill and microwave til the weekend. Food today: M1 - turnips topped w 3 scrambled eggs and 1/3 of an avocado, black coffee M2 - salad of baby greens and kale, carrots, red pepper, cucumber, tomato, olive and avocado topped w grilled chicken and dressed w EVOO and balsamic. Had one Tbsp of cashew butter. M3 - kalua pig, broccoli and sweet potato w ghee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Rough few days. Haven't felt well at all and worked 12+ hours a day at work Finally made it to Patient First today and I have bronchitis. That was good news- I seriously thought it was pneumonia. Got some antibiotics and albuterol. They did a nebulizer albuterol treatment and finally I have started coughing that stuff up. My chest has felt like an elephant was standing on it. Eating has been off the past couple of days. Not as hungry as I usually am. M1 was about half a portion of carnitas and a few bites of broccoli w ghee. About 8 hours later, I had the other half portion of carnitas w a couple bites of sweet potato. I did manage a full dinner of 2 crackin chicken thighs, 1/2 cup sweet potato w ghee and a salad w lots of veggies. I have been getting my sleep in. Got 11 hours last night and close to 9 hours every day this week. Heading to bed now and hoping to feel a lot better in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 My new double oven range was delivered today. Thank goodness. Cooking on a NuWave burner (1), gas grill and crockpot only has been challenging. M1 - 4 egg onion, mushroom, red pepper and spinach omelette w a couple slices of sautéed sweet potatoes. Cooked on my new range! It totally rocks. M2 - Avocado smoothie w whey powder. Made w full fat coconut milk and either vanilla bean powder or cocoa powder. Pre- body pump class - 1 or 2 HB eggs M3 - salmon patties w some sort of veg or salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Added a small apple w a tbsp of cashew butter to M2. May not need my hb egg now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 I did not feel like cooking dinner tonight. How sad is that - I get my new range and I don't feel like using it. I'm beginning to think the antibiotics they gave me aren't doing squat - or it's viral. Anyhow, I got Outback takeout. Plain mahi w steamed veggies. Came home and put some ghee and lemon on it and it was really tasty. I might go have a small dish of cherries too. My throat is sore and frozen fruit sounds good.

JulieP757 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 M1 -more like brunch than breakfast, largely due to me sleeping until 9 am. Had 3 eggs scrambled in ghee, 3 thin pc bacon and half an orange. Still feeling incredibly crappy. If I'm not miraculously healed by Monday, I'm going back to the doctor. I don't think the Doxycycline he prescribed is doing anything other than giving me terrible vertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Made some mayo and then made some chicken salad w celery, apple, toasted walnuts and dried cranberries (sweetened w apple juice). Had about a cup of chicken salad and a cup of sautéed zucchini for M2. I did a taste test between the canola oil Hellman's mayo the kids like and my homemade version using lemon juice, dried mustard and avocado oil and I think I actually like my version better. I don't know why the kids won't eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 M3 was super meaty spaghetti sauce on top of roasted spaghetti squash. I added ground sirloin and hot italian sausage to Rao's tomato basil sauce - delish. Had a few frozen cherries w a couple Tbsp coconut milk and a sprinkle of coconut too. Really satisfying meal on this bitter cold night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 So cold here in SE VA. 12 degrees when I got up this morning w a high of 26. I thought I lived in the South M1 - breakfast hash (turnips, onions, mushrooms, red pepper, spinach and roasted pepper and spinach chicken sausage) topped w 3 scrambled eggs, black coffee M2- spinach salad topped w a sprinkle of shredded carrots, red pepper, tomato, broccoli and avocado and topped with the chicken salad I made yesterday (boy is THAT good!). M3 - will be more roasted spaghetti squash topped w meaty sauce. I can hardly wait. Made a big pot of chicken bone broth. Cleaned my freezer out yesterday and realized I had several bags of bones taking up space. Nothing like a mug of chicken bone broth on a cold day.

JulieP757 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 M1 - breakfast hash w 3 over easy eggs M2 - spaghetti squash topped w meat sauce and small salad of spinach, carrots, red pepper, cucumber and avocado w EVOO and balsamic M3 - pot roast, half a sweet potato w ghee and roasted green beans. I called Patient First last night and told them I had finished the antibiotics the doctor had prescribed and I was not one iota better and I was still needing to use the inhaler a couple times a day. They prescribed a course of steroids and I was skeptical, but I feel so much better today. I think I might finally be on the mend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Another Friday during Lent: M1 - 4 eggs scrambled in ghee, 1 small baked sweet potato, sliced, sprinkled w cinnamon and sautéed in ghee and half an avocado M2 - Chocolate avocado smoothie (vanilla whey powder sweetened w stevia, half an avocado, 2/3 cup coconut milk, 1 Tbsp dark cocoa). M3 - baked salmon, spaghetti squash w ghee and roasted cauliflower Still feel like total crap. I thought the steroids were working, but I'm hacking up a lung and feeling like dog poo again. I feel so bad, I want to take a nap and I never sleep during the day. Just waiting for the repair guy to stop by and then I'm going to snooze. If I am not better by Monday, I'm going back to the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Slept forever last night - like 11 hours. Guess I really needed it. Too soon to tell if I actually feel better or not. M1 - 3 eggs scrambled in ghee, 3 pc bacon, 2 slices of baked sweet potato sautéed in ghee and a couple cups of roasted cauliflower. Black coffee. Clearly I still have an appetite .

JulieP757 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 M2 - the last of the spaghetti squash and meat sauce M3 - big salad of baby greens, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, olives and half an avocado topped with a burger and dressed w "russian" dressing made w homemade mayo and a Tbsp of organic ketchup.

JulieP757 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 M1 - breakfast hash topped w 3 over easy eggs, half an avocado and half a ruby red grapefruit M2 - kalua pig, a couple of wedges of roasted kabocha squash and a cup of golden pepper soup, which was actually pretty tasty. http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2016/01/18/golden-bell-pepper-soup-from-eating-clean/ Dinner is going to be pork tenderloin w a cherry plum sauce that's to die for (but which contains sugar, so I'll only have a Tbsp), haricots vertes and probably another wedge of squash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
