HopelessDreamer Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Feeling really tired lately, and not sleeping so well. Need to get off sweet treats and back to real foods (too much chocolate!). Feeling to big around the middle, even though my weight isnt bad, and is pretty stable. Day 1, I decided is today. Meal 1:hot water with lemon, leftover chicken, roasted cauliflower "tabbouleh" (fresh sparsely,chives and mint!), herbal tea during Hot yoga, drank coconut water diluted with ice mid-day, while making food: peach, 6 cherries Meal 2: ginger-zucchini soup with chicken, more "tabbouleh", small slice of beef, plantain chips Meal 3: more soup, beef, cherries Need more veggies, but wasn't terribly hungry so I guess I ate enough! (especially for a hot yoga day) Good things about today: I did not have a banana. I did good in yoga. I prepared some food with all those veggies I bought today - including homemade sauerkraut that is happily fermenting.... Getting ready for bed, hopefully to sleep.

HopelessDreamer Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Too many plantain chips. Walked along the reservoir. Nice day for it! Low back hurts, so I'm limping a little. Day 10,wish I could skip the "I'm ready to quit" days like the "kill all the things"day. Oh well. At least I know why I feel this way, and I can ignore the sweet things calling me. Good things(non-scale victories): No dried fruit, sleeping better,belly flatter. Ate at friend's house and I didn't take anything other than fish, salad and fruit. Made a plan for things to accomplish this summer each day. M 1: fried sardines with fried garlic, wilted baby kale, avocado oil,coffee w coc cream. Blueberry,banana,peach baby kale smoothie M 2: cherry chicken legs,1/2 white sweet potato,radishes,cukes,plantain chips M 3: maybe have gingered summer squash-cauliflower soup(no zucchini at the store) with chicken Art class tonight!

HopelessDreamer Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Had a Larabar, pecan pie, yesterday while out shopping. Didn't expect to be out so long... Must stop eating plantain chips unless I make them. The package ones are too easy to overeat. No brakes at all!! So, no Whole30 is "perfect", but I am learning where I can improve myself and diet. NSV! Day 11? M1: summer squash-cauliflower soup with chicken. Herbal tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopelessDreamer Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Screwed up!Went to lunch with my Mom, realized there was "soy sauce" in my steamed fish. Then I went to a wedding, and all bets are off. Who knows what was in that food? (It was good though...) So I will restart when I get back from yet another trip out town, sometime next week. I really want to finish one Whole30 at least this summer, before my big trip overseas in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
