peacefuldreamer Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, my name is Jen. This is my first whole 30 although I have tried and failed a few times before now. I am planning to use this log as a place to record how I feel daily, what I eat and also to keep track of the different recipes I try! A little background... I am trying to overcome some eating issues I have had since my teens. I am a recovered bulimic but last year felt some unhealthy triggers and found myself in a horrible restrict-binge-restrict cycle and it was making me very miserable. I have known about the whole 30 for a few years and it's always been in the back of my mind. I want to be free from these food demons. I want to not have food control my every thought. I want to nourish my body instead of punishing it. Can the Whole 30 restore a healthy relationship between me and food? I don't know. But I sure hope so. I am 32 years old. Married with 3 kids. I work from home for myself. I love to cook. I love to move. I enjoy most forms of exercise. I am an aussie but currently love on a small pacific island. Its a tropical climate and we have great fruit & veg available but not much else! So no bacon for me haha I get home to Australia once of twice a year and usually stock up on my health foods (nuts/seeds etc) while I am there so in the meantime I just have to make do with what I can find locally. Hence, some of my meals will be boring! But that ok! I think that is all for an intro. Here goes...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacefuldreamer Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 DAY 1 B: I made an omelet with 3 eggs and a few tbsp on coconut milk. Then I filled it with fresh rocket, tomato & avocado. Had it with a black coffee and half an orange. L: yesterday I made a batch of chicken soup, using the bones to create the base stock and added the shredded chicken and potato, pumpkin, carrot, onion & spinach. It was a little bland so I also added 1/4 cup coconut milk to my serve for lunch. I ate it along with some carrot sticks and home-made babaganosh. Then I ate a 'paleo bar' from blue dinosaur (ginger nut flavour. Ingredients: almonds, sulphur free apricots, organic coconut, coconut oil & ginger). I didn't nee the bar but I ate it... anyway they are pretty delicious. I only bought 2 back with me on my last trip to aus so that's probably a good thing so I don't binge on them... D: will be a roast chicken. I am using nomnom paleos recipe in my slow cooker (need to put it in now!) and we will eat it with roast and steamed veggies.

peacefuldreamer Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Update: I failed on day 1!!! Last night I ate dried apple. Stupidly it has the preservatives 220 & 223 which are no-no's The dumbest part is I'd already had the fabulous roast chicken with a roast potato, roasted carrot and roasted cauliflower plus steamed greens. I was full. But I ate out of habit? Boredom? Stress? Anyway so here goes day 1 again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
