JTCarlson Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm baaaacccckkkkk!! Scotland was AWESOME, but boy did I fall off the wagon. Between the time change and the eating out I really have no idea what I stuffed in my gob, all I know is that the W30 magic is gone - GONE! - and I need to get back on the horse. My plan is to do another W30 in September, but also to get back to W30-ish for now. Not sure exactly what that is going to look like, but I'll do the best I can with what I have. I made a bunch of freezer meals a few months back and they need to get eaten soon, but I know they are not compliant, even though they are fairly healthy. Anyhoo, it's been great to read through the posts and hear how everyone is doing. Suzibeck - I completely FAILED the plank challenge. I literally did not even do 1. Pathetic!!

tytbodyin30 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Awesome.. 'm not W30 any more. I think i felt pushed.. and I want to relax. But I still think of it each time I don't have veggies on my plate. They are difficult for me to get into.. I can eat a steak and potato easy but seams something is missing.. I got sick of washing dishes. I don't know what I'm going to do in the future.. I'm still happy about what I do eat. and that's not a lot and it's definately not 3 x a day.

Suzibeck Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 JT, I failed as well. Sigh. Brush ourselves off and get back on the horse. I've stopped climbing stairs, I need to get back to that. My back won't let me plank. Glad you had a terrific time on your trip though. I'm jealous. I'm really feeling cheated? that I can't eat what everyone else in the house eats. I don't wanna cook anymore. I've been Whole 30 again for two days now. The headaches and joint pain drive me on but I'm not enjoying it. I really need to find easy, quick, tasty meals that are compliant. Checking out more stupideasypaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTCarlson Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Suzibeck - I had a really hard time with the cooking too, and I expect it will still be my biggest challenge in September. I found that meal prepping and batch cooking helped the most. I'm still doing the thing where I make a week's worth of lunches in one go: baked chicken, steamed veggies, baked sweet potatoes. Then I add an avocado or some guacamole for the fat. My Costco sells a compliant guacamole (Wholly Guacamole) in single serve packs that can be frozen, so I stock up on those when I go there and pop them in the freezer until I need them. I'm eating the same thing for lunch every day, but that is not a problem for me (but would drive my husband bonkers, so I know this wouldn't work for everyone). Another big problem I had was breakfast, especially getting in enough veggies. I love eggs, so I can eat them every morning, but I'm not up for cooking veggies in the morning - just too much work. So instead, I would roast a couple of sheet pans worth of veggies (peppers, eggplants, potatoes, onions, asparagus, zucchini - basically everything that needed to get eaten up from the previous week), and store them in a giant tupperware in the fridge. In the morning I can heat up a bowlful, put a couple of fried eggs on that and call it good. As for being jealous of what everyone else was eating, I had a few instances of that but thankfully not many. My kids are still young, so I have more control over what comes into the house, food-wise. My husband had a few non-compliant things, but I explained to him that it was really hard for me to watch him eat those things when I couldn't and he was very kind about changing his behavior and not eating off-limits stuff in front of me.
