whole30gal Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yesterday I started my first ever Whole30 journey. Since I forgot to post yesterday, I am going to do two days in one posting. I am still trying to figure out how much food to eat in a meal. I think I am not eating enough because I feel a little shaky and foggy. Any thoughts would be helpful. Especially breakfast. (As you can see my breakfast is definitely lacking). I don't have time to make a big breakfast in the morning because I have to get to work by 7:45am and start teaching right away. Monday, April 11th - Day 1 Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs Lunch - salad made with roasted brussel sprouts, and half an avocado. Also had a plum and handful of grapes Snack - plantain chips Dinner - walnut crusted pork tenderloin with a sweet potato and brocolli Tuesday, April 12th Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs Lunch - left over pork tenderloin over a salad. Also had blackberries. Snack - plantain chips Dinner - Salmon Cakes over arugula with lemon juice (taste wise, not satisfying to me) Onward to day 3 - as much as I am craving cheese, I have eaten 100% whole30 approved!

whole30gal Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Day 3 - feeling tired. I had some weird dreams last night about making egg "muffins" for breakfast but added A LOT of cheese to everyone. Definitely craving my cheese. Breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs with a piece of grilled chicken Lunch - salad with 1 avocado, tomatoes, grilled chicken with a balsamic vinaigrette Dinner - burger with portabella mushroom bun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30gal Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Day 4 - I was feeling exhausted throughout the whole entire day. I am noticing that I am still having a hard time falling a sleep. I am hoping that this starts to get better. Breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs with spinach and tomatoes Lunch - crabcakes with shredded broccoli and carrots and a plum Dinner - zoodles (first time making them) with sauteed shrimp with pesto sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30gal Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Day 5 - still going strong, but I feel so tired by the end of the day. Plus, I am having a real hard time falling a sleep and I am really restless. I am hoping this starts to go away soon. Breakfast - half an avocado and 3 scrambled eggs Lunch - shredded broccoli and carrots with a piece of grilled chicken and a plum Dinner - rib eye steak with a sweet potato and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto Snack - 2 chomp sticks (I did not have a fulfilling lunch at all. I need to start adding more variety to it so I am starving come 5pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealinSF Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I had insomnia on the night of Day 4, but it only lasted that night. Even with some sleep, when the kids let me sleep, I feel pretty exhausted all the time. Looking forward to getting past this stage. Hang in there!

whole30gal Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Behind in posting - had a crazy busy weekend Day 6: Woke up with so much energy - first time in a long time!! I was at a workshop all morning and afternoon, hence all the snacks for lunch and snack Breakfast - 3 eggs scrambled, prosciutto, spinach Lunch - 2 chomp stick snacks and plantain chips Snack: 1 chomp stick snack Dinner: baked bbq ribs with sauteed brussel sprouts and butternut squash - AMAZING!!! Day 7: Woke up tired, but I think that is because of such a busy day. I also was out all morning and afternoon for a family obligation. I was very proud of myself though. Part of the family gathering was at a restaurant for breakfast. I made my breakfast before going. But, man - everything looked so good!!! Breakfast - 3 scrambled eggs, spinach and prosciutto Lunch: RX bar and 2 chomp snack sticks Dinner: chicken with brussel sprouts and butternut squash Week 2 bring it!!!!

Kaelisan Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wanted to let you know that the log section isn't moderated and I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that your meals and snacks are not compliant to the template. You may want to post them in a moderated section. You don't want to waste your hard effort not doing an actual Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30gal Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 What part of my meals/snacks aren't compliant? Everything that I am eating is Whole30 approved. Please point out what you are noticing? I am following the template and how it fits into my schedule. I need to add more fruit, but other than that I am doing well and haven't gotten off track at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealinSF Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We made zoodles this weekend as well. Gonna try them tonight. Your menu looks good to me, as long as your checking ingredients of everything or making it yourself. I thought I could find compliant mayo, but it looks like I'll be making that myself, this week, to mix with tuna. Although mixing an avocado with tuna tasted pretty good.

Well for me they are because I love pasta, so if I can psych my body out thinking it is pasta - the more the better. Yup, I am checking my ingredients. I spoke to a moderator after my first two days and she said to amp my protein and veggies into my breakfast - ever since I did that, things have been great. It doesn't say you CAN't snack. So the days that I have had snacks,my work days have been extra busy (I'm a PE teacher and some days I am running around more than others). I have to try the tuna/avocado recipe. I think I will try that for lunch tomorrow. How are things going for you.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
