Jager07 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Day 1 is won and done. After looking at my W30 food log, I realized this morning's breakfast was exactly what I had Day 1 of my first W30. Funny. Here's how the day went: Breakfast: egg, onion, spinach scrambo with Frank's red hot, coffee with coconut oil. Lunch: Bilinski chicken and spinach sausage, cabbage slaw with balsamic/EVOO. Dinner: chicken fried in olive oil with fajita seasoning, tomatoes, sautéed onions and peppers, guacamole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsZimm13 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Whole 30 Gods.... please make the crazy dreams stop! They are not even about food, which FYI I don't miss any foods. I'm very satisfied eating this way. I may miss alcohol while sitting by a pool, but so far, I've not sat by any pools! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsZimm13 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 2nd day 3.... Woke at 4 am.... thanks Crazy Dreams. Out of bed at 6 am. so, so much to accomplish today. Tea with coconut cream and MCT oil 2 eggs, small amount of meatloaf, chopped cabbage, coconut oil and bbq sauce- delicious! 1 piece of quiche, 1/4 c collards Banana, BBQ pork, collards, 2 deviled eggs, green salad, 1/4 c nuts Lots of water today. I moved a lot today 11,389 steps so far. We accomplished a lot in the garden and the yard. Noticeable differences from the last Whole 64 I did and this one. I'm not mourning the scale. It's not making me crazy to not weigh each day, I think I had naturally gotten out of the habit- it's always bad news anyway, so why seek it? I'm not mourning alcohol. Please, please let me sleep the whole night without insane dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrumptious meal! Fun day... 9135 steps so far, had a massage and dinner with good friends. I was the only person not drinking at the dinner party and I didn't care. I don't miss it. We ate at some friends house who we turned on to Paleo in Oct 2016. He has lost 36 lbs and she has lost 15. In all fairness, she doesn't have much, if any, to lose. They both look fantastic and it was fun to cook together in their new kitchen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
