whole30amman Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Finished first whole30 about a month ago- pretty successful and felt great despite a few slip ups and getting sick half way. I was in town most of the month, which is unusual for my schedule. Starting round 2, this time making it fit into my normal life which means I'm on the road traveling across time zones and not cooking in my own kitchen most of the time. Wish me luck!

whole30amman Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Day 1: Meal 1: 2 eggs scrambled with spinach, a few nuts, black half caff coffee. Heading out of town to unknown food territory for the next 1.5 days, so packed carrots and blanched green beans, 2 apples, nuts, and the one compliant Lara bar I have left from my last trip.

whole30amman Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Day 2: meal 1: scrambled eggs, olives, fava beans (I'm allowing limited beans in my whole30), baba ganoush, Turkish coffee and tea without sugar meal 2: picked grilled chicken pieces out of a mayonnaise filled pita wrap, and ate the carrot sticks, green beans, and an apple I had packed (chewed a piece of sugar free gum by mistake without thinking..oops) snacked on nuts I had packed meal 3: ate some left over grilled chicken while cooking taco stuffed sweet potatoes for the real meal - yum!

whole30amman Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Day 3: meal 1: breakfast at home before hitting the road: eggs scrambled with spinach, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers, and black coffee meal 2: carrots, grapes and dates...in the car. Not exactly a full meal but had to make do. meal 3: room service early dinner: mixed grilled meats and vegetables (asked for it without rice but it came anyway which I pushed aside), roasted pumpkin soup (asked for it without the garlic bread side), Rocca salad (asked for it without sweet corn). Outrageously expensive but healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30amman Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Day 3 update: meal 4 (since meal 2 didn't really count): late hotel restaurant dinner: shared portions of roasted duck with fruit, carrot soup, seafood soup, and grilled seafood platter. Overate but all healthy stuff at least. Day 4: meal 1: scrambled eggs with parsley, cucumbers, banana, bit of hashbrown, few nuts, small pieces of sausage, black coffee (and took two hb eggs and a banana from the buffet for road trip later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whole30amman Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Day 6 update lunch at the office was grilled chicken, tabouleh (99% parsley, .0001% bulgur wheat), and hummus dinner was a take on the triple seafood chowder I'd been planning, with four types of seafood (!) and extra spices added. Yum!! tomorrow planning an almond milk kale apple banana smoothie for breakfast, my leftover chicken basil curry for lunch (though have to fit it in around a work visit...which risks involving an offered lunch I'll need to sidestep), and probably leftover seafood chowder for dinner.

whole30amman Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Day 7 - one week down! It will likely be impossible to finish this 30 days without enjoying a good beer and tasting a few other things while on an upcoming vacation, but will keep logging and focus on mindful eating, only tasting/eating/drinking really good food (I.e. My beer is likely to be a favorite microbrew, not a bud lite, and I'm fine with just one. ) 1: almond milk, almond butter, kale apple banana smoothie and a hb egg 2: leftover chicken basil curry for lunch...which was only eaten at 5:30 (!) after a long work visit...(had some black coffee and pineapple juice around midday) 3: work dinner out, salmon with spinach and mashed potatoes (just a couple bites as think it had cream), beet spinach avocado grapefruit salad with a bit of quinoa (noting it but think it's fine) tomorrow planning similar smoothie + hb egg breakfast, work lunch out at good salad place, and possibly dinner take out from a high quality burger place (lettuce wrapped with mushrooms) or maybe I'll make a big veggie egg frittata for dinner. Also starting to plan for an upcoming social gathering (homemade off plan desserts likely there) as well as a looong multi stop plane journey this weekend.

whole30amman Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Day 9 1. Almond milk banana almond butter cocoa smoothie, handful of nuts and dried fruits, black coffee 2. Ordered a nice salad with protein delivered to the office 3. cooked a sweet potato, spinach, mushroom quiche, as well as a carrot pumpkin ginger soup and made a salad for a dinner party (amazingly I had all the ingredients on hand, and used up all my veggies to clean out the fridg before a long trip). Guests brought a non compliant dessert (Paleo lemon bars but included organic honey), which I happily ate. Know I'm not 100% on plan but 90% is good enough for me and will keep logging to keep myself accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whole30amman Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Day 10 1. Shared left over sweet potato veggie quiche, and small almond milk Apple banana smoothie 2. Lunch out, ate mezze salads (including some hummus, baba ganoush, Rocca salad, smoked fish) and grilled meat 3. Fridge empty, and luckily remembered I had some frozen chicken burgers and grilled redpeppers to make and eat before heading to the airport for a late flight. Burgers had some non compliant processed ingredients but had to make do. Bought some nuts and dried fruit at the airport to last my flight, resisting many other airport temptations. Now the test comes of resisting most of the unhealthy airplane food, which I tend to eat out boredom more than anything else . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
