DEMS2011 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I completed by first Whole30 this Spring, I kept up with the healthy eating for awhile, but have fallen off track lately. I'm doing this one with a coworker, so I'm excited for the accountability partner. I'll be using Prep Dish meal plan's new Whole30 reset menus. I typically use Prep Dish's paleo menus, but I've been eating way too much 'other' food (pizza especially). So I think the reset month is what I really need right now. I'll be going back to Jazzercise (now that I've caught up on my work hours - which was a major reason for not going the past 2 weeks). My husband isn't completely on board with me doing this again, but I know he wants me to feel better in my clothes (and he likes the way I look a few pounds lighter, too). My wedding ring doesn't fit right now, so that one major NSV that I'm looking forward to reaching. So this weekend, as I prepare, I'm easing myself back in to the healthy eating (no binging on any 'list chance' foods - though I do have a small container of feta cheese that I'd like to finish up before starting ). This week's meals from Prep Dish that I'll be making include: Meal 1: Brined Pork Chops w/ Sauteed Cabbage & Apples Meal 2: Cilantro-Citrus Shrimp w/ Cauliflower Rice & Cucumber Slices Meal 3: Summer "Pasta" w/ Chicken Sausage (Zucchini Noodles) Meal 4: Chicken & Veggie Stir Fry w/ Cauliflower Rice Salad: Arugula, Watermelon, Mint, Red Onion & Pistachio Breakfast: Moroccan Hash (cauliflower,, onions, sweet potato, raisins, spices & eggs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yay! Finished Day 1... I feel like this time around, just getting STARTED was difficult. Making the commitment, planning a compliant week of meals, getting rid of the non-compliant foods. Now that I've done all of that, I'm hoping the determination to stick with it will be as solid as my 1st Whole30 (back in April / May of this year). I KNOW how AMAZING I felt midway through when I hit the tiger blood, so still having that fairly fresh in my memory should help. Day 1 Eats & Exercise: Meal 1: Moroccan Hash w/ 2 eggs cooked in coconut oil, plus 1 cup black coffee Meal 2: Summer Zucchini 'Pasta' w/ Chicken Sauasage and roasted veggies, plus carrots & sunflower butter and a LaCroix sparkling water NSV: met my husband at his favorite bar after work and had a club soda with lime. No big deal to not have a drink, but he said after my first Whole30 that he didn't like it because I wouldn't come out with him anymore... so I'm making more of an effort to still go out with him, but stay compliant. Snack while cooking: carrots & sunflower butter Meal 3: Brined Porkchops w/ sauteed cabbage & apples Evening Snack: Larabar Exercise: nothing. barely moved all day... I had a full day of meetings (in the same room all day). I did chase my toddler around a bit after work, and we played, but no official exercise.

DEMS2011 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Day 2 is in the books. Feel pretty good about today, though with a very busy day at work, I didn't have a whole lot of time to think about food. Pre workout snack: banana & sunflower butter, small cup of black coffee Exercise: Jazzercise dance mixx, 6 lb weights Meal 1: Moroccan Hash with 2 eggs cooked in ghee, small cup black coffee Meal 2: Out to eat @ Thai restaurant - I had a "Dancing Salad" which was iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and a few grilled shrimp. It was good, but I was still hungry afterwards. Also had hot tea. Snack: carrots and sunflower Meal 3: Zucchini 'Pasta' Salad (still at the office) Evening snack: banana & sunflower butter I'm planning to move away from the snacks as I progress in my Whole30, but for now, feel like they're a big key to my success (& slightly more relaxed attitude) this second time around!

DEMS2011 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Day 3 - the day I want to punch everyone in the face Seriously, one of THOSE days. I'm checking right now in the book to see if day 3 is the day you want to punch everyone in the face, because I really feel like that today. Not LITERALLY, but I'm just annoyed with every.single.thing. today. Shoot, just looked it up, and it's Days 4 & 5.... I'm screwed. Or more likely everyone around me is screwed. HA! Anyway, still plugging away over here, good clean eats, exercising, and an a$$ ton of work at my job and home. All good things, just feels like I'm always in a whirlwind, and then I slam into bed at night (well, early / evening ~ 9pm). Eats & Exercise: Pre Workout Snack: 1/2 banana w/ sunflower butter & cup of black coffee Exercise: Jazzercise Interval Core focus Meal 1: Moroccan Hash w/ 2 eggs cooked in coconut oil, small cup black coffee Meal 2: Grapes & Zucchini 'Pasta' Salad w/ chicken sausage and roasted vegetables Emergency Snack if needed: Larabar Meal 3 (planned): Chicken & Vegetable Stir fry w/ cauliflower rice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Day 4 - feeling better mentally So glad I didn't wake up today in worse shape then yesterday. I'm actually feeling really positive today, though struggling still to get myself in the productive mode (so many exciting things taking up my brainspace!). Though the day is just starting, I have most of my day / meals planned out already, so here's the eats & exercise: Pre-workout snack: handful of pistacios Exercise: Jazzercise Interval class Meal 1: Leftover Cabbage & Apples plus a teeny bit of Moroccan Hash (sad that I'm all out), 2 eggs cooked in coconut oil & 2 small cups black coffee (no coffee before the workout though!) Meal 2 (planned / packed for work): Zucchini Pasta Salad w/ roasted veggies & chicken sausage (also the last of it ) Snack (planned / packed for work): Arugula salad w/ watermelon and pistacios Planning to go on a grocery trip after work today (having guests over for dinner tomorrow night & I need to get more food, since I'm running low on a lot!) I figure it'll be good to get a little ahead for the long weekend, so I don't have to worry about what to eat and can relax and enjoy the extra day off! Meal 3: Either leftover Chicken Stir Fry w/ Cauliflower Rice from last night (it was deelicious!), or I'll make Citrus Cilantro Shrimp w/ cauliflower rice & sliced cucumbers. Depends on how hungry I am after the grocery and how much stuff I still need to do to prepare for tomorrow night's dinner (aka, I'll likely be eating leftovers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Meal Plan for the next 5ish days (I found that if I try to plan for 7 days, I end up wasting food or needing to go to the store again anyway, so in my 1st Whole30 I determined that a 4-5 day meal plan works best for me). Also, as I mentioned in my first post, I'm using Prep Dish meal plans and doing the 'Reset Menus' which are Whole30 complaint. Breakfast: Asian Hash w/ Eggs (ground turkey thigh, carrots, green onion, spinach, water chestnuts, ginger) Lunches: Frittata w/ Arugula, Tomato, Mushrooms & Olives w/ Dilled Cucumbers (am I going to get tired of having eggs for 2 meals a day?!) Lunch Plan b: Leftovers Snacks / Pre Workout as needed: 1) Banana w/ Sunflower Butter; 2) Carrots w/ Almond or Sunflower butter; 3) Blueberry & Walnut Salad Dinner 1: Pork Carnitas w/ Green Cabbage Slaw & Guacamole (Whole30 book recipes for dinner guests tomorrow night - these were my family's FAVORITES from the last time around) Dinner 2: Sesame Roasted Fish (whatever fish looks best, Halibut is suggested) w/ Broccoli & Cashews Dinner 3: Grilled Chicken w/ Pineapple Salsa & Grilled Zucchini Dinner 4: Gingered Beef & Veggie Stir Fry I am also tentatively going to a Labor Day party that is potluck on Sunday. If I do go, I'm thinking of taking a Whole30 compliant Chili and/or veggie tray w/ a Whole30 dip of some sort. I'd be open to suggestions if anyone reading my posts has any ideas!

DEMS2011 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Day 5 - snacking is subsiding I'm happy to say that I don't feel the need to snack as much as when I started (5 long days ago!). I knew going into it, that I wanted to reduce my snacks and get back to the 3 meals a day, but I also knew to give myself a little break and ease into it so I didn't turn into Mrs. CrankyPants. Yesterday afternoon I didn't end up needing my snack at all! Made it straight through the workday not even thinking about (lusting after) a snack. I'm going to chalk that up as a NSV! Today's eats & exercise: Meal 1: Leftover cabbage & apples, 2 eggs cooked in coconut oil, 1/2 an avocado and a clementine, plus black coffee Exercise: Jazzercise Strength 60 class Post workout: banana w/ sunflower butter Meal 2: Leftover chicken & veggie stir fry with a little bit of cauliflower rice Meal 3: Having guests over for dinner and serving Pork Carnitas, Green Cabbage Slaw and Guacamole Snack if needed: I have a clementine and my coworker (who is doing a Paleo30 along with my Whole30) brought in some fruit salad to share. Also have a Larabar, oh, and the salad I didn't end up eating yesterday. Doubt I'll need a snack today (short workday), but I've got lots of healthy options just in case! Best to be prepared!! Looking forward to a great, long, weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Day 6 - great night's sleep, but still tired I went to bed fairly early (though pretty typical) last night, and slept wonderfully! I woke up in the middle of a very strange, and quite interesting dream...not about food But my steam ran out before lunch today. Maybe I got too busy and should have eaten sooner, or maybe I just really need the rest. I ate lunch and took an hour long nap, and am feeling slightly better, though not as peppy as I was when I woke up this morning. Oh, I'm also SUPER sore from the workouts this week, so perhaps all of the muscle tiredness is leaking into my mind tiredness! Today's eats & exercise: Meal 1: Leftover pork carnitas, cabbage slaw and a little guacamole plus 2 eggs cooked in ghee, and 2 cups black coffee Meal 2: Leftover pork carnitas, cabbage slaw and a little guacamole plus a handful of cashews Not sure what Meal 3 is going to be tonight. I'm going to do some meal prep now, so I should have lots of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 End of Day 6, Beginning of Day 7 - is it kill all the things day again? I was really hungry for dinner early last night (around 4:30), made dinner about 5, but couldn't feel full. It was a lighter meal, so that could've been it. Ate some compliant snacks, and tried to maintain a good balance of foods (proteins, vegetables, fats). Went to bed a little early (well, I'd say very early for a Saturday night ~ 9pm), and my son woke up ready.to.go at 5am. Ugh. I was the lucky one to get to get up with him, while my DH slept in another 3 hours. By then I was Cranky. And he couldn't understand why I wanted him to just take our son to the park and let me relax for a little while! ACK! Finally, after a couple of small spats (one in which he said, 'F- the Whole30, you need a drink!' - It's 9am, I don't need a drink, I just need an hour to myself, thanks for the support), they finally just left for the park so I could chill for a bit. So, eats since last post as follows: Day 6 - Meal 3: Citrus Cilantro Shrimp w/ Cauliflower Rice Snacks: Cashews, Banana, Leftover Pork Carnitas Day 7 so far Meal 1: Asian Hash w/ 2 Eggs (ground turkey thigh, carrots, green onion, spinach, water chestnuts, ginger), 2 cups black coffee (I could go for more, but I'm trying to keep it to no more than 2 a day). And a mandarin. Not sure what the rest of the day holds, might go to the zoo, but I'm guessing little man is going to be worn out before they open at 11. Perhaps after a nap. I do have plenty of options prepped and ready to go in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Day 7 & 8 (from day 9's perspective) - wow, was the long weekend hard, or what?! Though we spent most of the weekend getting things done around the house, and keeping a 'not feeling the greatest' toddler close to home, Labor Day weekend was harder than I'd anticipated. We had planned to go out my husband's cousin's annual Labor Day party - and I wasn't completely sure how I'd handle it (it's a big drinking fest / potluck of unhealthy eats). Since the little guy wasn't feeling the greatest, we didn't go. But I felt snacky all weekend. Stuck to compliant snacks, but still not feeling as good as I know I could be feeling right now. And although I cherished the extra time with family, it's much easier to stick to Whole30 while at work. Day 7 (Sunday): Meal 1: Asian Hash described above. Meal 2: Citrus Cilantro Shrimp w/ Cauliflower Rice and a handful of pistacios Snack: Asian Hash (no eggs) Meal 3: Kale Salad....I was craving kale salad like crazy! (what could that mean? Calcium deficiency? Just a healthy food craving?). So I followed a recipe I saved awhile ago (link below) and made kale salad w/ avocado, sunflower butter (subbed for the almond butter in the recipe because the stuff I have has added sugar), sliced almonds, and a mandarin. I ate a ton of this! http://fitnessista.com/2014/10/the-kale-salad-to-my-heart/#_a5y_p=5372902 Day 8 (Monday): Meal 1: 3 eggs cooked in ghee, leftover green cabbage slaw & guacamole, plus black coffee Meal 2: Sauteed spinach, tomatoes, and olives w/ 2 eggs. LaCroix bubble water (I had several of these throughout the day - and also still water....I just don't typcially note that). Also had a banana w/ sunflower butter Snack: Raw mixed nuts (Aldi has a couple of amazing raw nut mixes that my whole family loves!) Meal 3: Gingered Beef & Veggie stir fry Woke up today (Day 9 - Tuesday) really hungry. Had my pre workout snack, and could barely get through my shower before NEEDING breakfast. SO. Hungry. Also, I saw a Monarch butterfly on my way in to work (I watched Flight of the Butterflies this weekend), and am taking it as a sign for a great day ahead (I really hope!)

DEMS2011 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I should also note that last night's dinner was somewhat of a relief on my digestion. I'm thinking I may be overdoing it on the cruciferous vegetables. The Ginger Beef & Vegetable stir fry just contained onions & peppers. I thought about adding broccoli since I have a ton in my fridge, but didn't. I think my tummy was happy for a little relief from that. Anyone else experience similar 'overindulgence' of cauliflower, broccoli, kale, etc leading to some uncomfortableness in the tummy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Day 9 - feelin' fine! Yesterday was pretty good, food / hunger-wise...once I had breakfast! Today I'm determined to not let days 10-11 trip me up, because I'm sterting to enjoy a couple of the benefits of my hard work so far (clearer / smoother skin, and a flatter tummy - though I still have some work to do to fit back into the smaller section of my wardrobe). Today should just be a typical work day, I'll be working at my desk all day! Pre workout: Banana w/ sunflower butter (minus a few bites shared with the toddler) and black coffee Exercise: Jazzercise Interval Strength Meal 1: (staaarrrrving!) Fritatta w/ Arugula, Onions, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Olives and another cup of black coffee, plus half a larabar Meal 2: Asian Hash over mixed greens Snack: other half of the Larabar Meal 3: DDDEEEEElicious Sockeye Salmon with Sesame Oil, roasted broccoli with cashews. Plus a handful of raw mixed nuts while dinner was cooking. Y.U.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Day 10 - success! My accountability partner and I are determined to make it through 'the tough days' 10 & 11 together and push on. We're almost halfway there! I'm definitely feeling better, less tummy bloating, less hungry all the time, very few cravings for junk. My skin looks & feels really great! I'm already thinking about my reintroduction this time, how I'm going to take the slow approach (since I already know a few things that are bothersome, and I don't have an impending vacation immediately after). I plan to stick with Whole30 eats except for special occasions through October (my wedding anniversary and birthday are in Oct, so those will be my exceptions). Hopefully can stick to that longer-term, 95% Whole30 with a glass of wine here or there and only going off plan for truly special occasions. I know that's the best for long term success, just have to keep reminding myself of that. Oh, also my SIL who does 10-day cleanses / detox programs (not sure exactly which program she follows), asked me how often I'll do a Whole30....which I hadn't even thought about. She said she ideally will do a 10 day reset every 3 months. I think that's a great idea! I feel like maybe 3 times a year would be perfect for Whole30.... to recharge and reset. And if it's planned out in advance, I can't get too far off track before starting over (ideally I wouldn't be 'starting over' each time, but I think maintaining the Whole30 lifestyle of clean eats would get easier and easier!). So I'm thinking Whole30 January, Whole30 April and/or May and Whole30 September. Seems reasonable So, for Day 10 (Wednesday) eats and exercise: Meal 1: 2 eggs cooked in coconut oil, cabbage & apple and dilled cucumbers Exercise: Jazzercise Dance Mixx Post-Workout: banana w/ sunflower butter Meal 2: Frittata w/ Arugula, Onions, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Olives plus dilled cucumbers Snack: Baby carrots w/ sunflower butter Meal 3: Leftover gingered beef & veggie stir fry Plus 2 1/2 cups of black coffee, lots of water and a Perrier L'Orange sparkling water throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEMS2011 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Day 11 - long work day, but feeling great on my Whole30 journey! I felt snacky all work day, but I think a lot of it may have been stress. There are a whole bunch of things happening in my life right now that feel out of my control (some in good ways, some in bad ways), and it's definitely been taking a toll on me. Glad that I have Whole30 to make improvements in my health! Eats & Exercise: Pre Workout: banana w/ sunflower butter, black coffee Exercise: Jazzercise interval class Meal 1: Frittata w/ Arugula, Onions, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Olives plus dilled cucumbers Meal 2: Leftover gingered beef & veggie stir fry plus some roasted broccoli Snack: Baby carrots w/ sunflower butter, and then another scoop of sunflower butter Meal 3: Grilled chicken w/ pineapple salsa and grilled zucchini (super yummy meal!)

DEMS2011 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Days 12, 13 & 14 - should probably hit the reset button, but adding extra to the end I had been doing great on my second Whole30, but then this weekend hit, and I was left unprepared. The stresses of work, combined with an unxepected weekend alone with my toddler and no groceries left in the house led me to fail. But I'm getting back up and continuing on - back on track. I could easily just stop this log right here and chalk it up to failure, I could start a new log with a new date, but I want to continue this one. I want others who struggle to know it's okay to not be perfect (though that IS the goal of the Whole30, and I did complete a perfect Whole30 the first time). I'm already seeing the benefits of the progress I've made so far, and I don't want to give up entirely, and I know if I start over or stop entirely I will be giving up. Not doing that. I let my accountability partner know about my struggles and we're back on together. Day 12 (Friday): Skipped the workout to make up work hours (probably my first mistake) Meal 1: Last piece of Frittata, dilled cucumbers, black coffee Snack: Baby carrots w/ sunflower butter (heavy on the sunflower butter - it's SO good!) Meal 2: Leftover grilled chicken and grilled zucchini Meal 3: 2 servings of leftover Salmon and Broccoli. Plus some mixed nuts Day 12 (Saturday): Meal 1: Nothing in the house (out of eggs!), the 2 year old asked for pancakes so we went out to breakfast. I ordered a Garden Veggie Omelet (ate half). Asked for no cheese and they said no substitutions, so I just ate it with the cheese (fail 1). The toddler ate my pancakes, and we shared the fruit. I also had black coffee. Meal 2: Leftover omelet and fruit Snack: baby carrots w/ sunflower butter Meal 3: Leftover grilled chicken and pineapple salsa. Then I had a friend over and ended up drinking several glasses of wine (really bad idea in the middle of a clean eating month - it definitely hits harder!). Also ate a few crackers (fails 2-3) Day 13 (Sunday): Meal 1: Last of the grilled chicken, mandarin orange, and I think I had some veggies, though I can't remember what at this point. I'd at least made it to the grocery the day before, so I know there were veggies available Meal 2: And then there was a church picnic. I was fully unprepared for it. Hungry. Tired from toddler wrangling all weekend, and had to sing a solo in church in the morning, so I had a lot else on my mind. I at least took fruit salsa (with off plan cinnamon pita chips) and LaCroix sparkling water, had 2 burger patties, no bun, and then a random assortment of the healthiest looking sides available, but I'm sure there were non compliant ingredients hiding within (fail 4). I completely avoided the dessert table and the chips, didn't eat anything with cheese or pasta, so overall a better plate than I could have had, but certainly not Whole30. All afternoon I spent meal prepping to get back on track ASAP. Meal 3: Salmon, green beans with garlic cooked in coconut oil and cherry tomatoes In conclusion, my weekend could have been far better, but I'm learning from the lesson, and I'm going to keep trucking on. I will restart my numbering, since technically today is back to day 1, but it's going very well, and I know I'll be hitting the tiger blood soon!

DEMS2011 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Day 1 (Day 15) Feeling good about getting back on track. Meal 1: It was my coworker's birthday breakfast, so my accountability partner and I planned out a healthy meal to bring in (plus some treats for the non-Whole30ers at my office). I brought a Chicken Sausage, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Fritatta, and my coworker brought in fresh fruit salad. Oh, also had a banana w/ sunflower butter earlier, since breakfast wasn't until 8:30 and I couldn't wait that long! Plus black coffee FTW Meal 2: Nicoise Salad w/ Salmon - SO glad I did the extra prep work on Sunday to have this delicious lunch this week! Boiled potatoes and green beans, hard boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, olives and a nice piece of salmon all over mixed greens. Delish! Snack: A Trail mix of pumpkin seeds, raw coconut flakes, and blueberries Meal 3: Pork, Pineapple & Pepper Kebabs. Plus a few raw mixed nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Day 2 (Day 16) Not bad, feeling about the same as I have been (skin feels nice, otherwise no noticeable changes - which I'd expect given the restart). Pre Workout: banana w/ sunflower butter Workout: Jazzercise interval class Meal 1: Chicken Sausage, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Fritatta - I think I need to have something else with this.... I felt snacky all day afterwards. Meal 2: Nicoise Salad w/ Salmon Snacks: Scoops of sunflower butter (too many scoops) Meal 3: Bunless grassfed beef burger, roasted sweet potatoes (chili powder, cumin, olive oil, S&P), Green Apple Slaw (cabbage slaw mix, green apple, olive oil, apple cider vinegar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMS2011 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Day 3 (Day 17) Still feeling the same.... life stresses continue to affect me, though I'm very glad I'm doing this now as I am a typical stress eater, so I'd definitely not be in as good of a place health wise if not for the Whole30 I'm attempting to accomplish. Still having too many between meal snacks, which I know is not helping me fully reset, but I also think I've pinpointed part of my problem which is non-template meals. I need to bulk up the veggies & add a fat to my breakfast especially. I think that would help with the 'less-than-satisfied' feeling I've been having throughout the day. Meal 1: Fritatta, and a bite of the toddler's banana Workout: Jazzercise Dance Mixx (my 100th class of the year!) Meal 2: Leftover fritatta and nicoise salad Snack: Scoop of sunflower butter Meal 3: Leftover bunless burger, sweet potato fries and Green apple slaw Snack: bunless burger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
