Destinee Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm Destinee. My husband Nick and I started yesterday! Day 1 we both felt tired coming off of the carb and sugar binge during Thanksgiving. Looking forward to making some yummy pork and potatoes tonight!

ceugley Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Welcome @Destinee Oh how I wish my hubby was doing this with me. But at least he is supportive. Day 1 I was super tired as well so I am right there with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missmolly222 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So happy to have found this thread. Thanks! I also started on Monday. I am very excited to be embarking on my first Whole30 experience! Look forward to having a group of ladies to lean on through this. We've got this!

I love how they arrive before I wake up. it will be difficult for me not to want to weigh myself every morning while eating so healthy. I’m addicted to the scale when trying to change my lifestyle. It is just so much fun watching the numbers go down! I want to focus on how I feel after making these changes and all the non-scale victories. not getting the emails... is it worth it? should i sign up?

a.keen Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Day 2! Good job everyone!! I'm so happy we're all here to talk about our experience... SO helpful. Tonight I'm prepping my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow: Deviled eggs for breakfast and cajun chicken lettuce wraps for lunch. Dinner will be chicken masala with cauliflower rice. Hope everyone is feeling good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missmolly222 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It is so true that Day 3 is hard. Woke up and hit the gym as usual, but I was feeling extra sluggish! Here is my plan for today: Preworkout/postwork out snack: 1 boiled egg/ banana with almond butter Meal one: egg frittata with tomatoes and spinach, half grapefruit, and ginger tea Meal two: burger with mashed avocado and homemade pico, brussel sprout salad Meal three: yet to figure this out, but I have all day. Ground turkey recipe?? Sounds delish GOOD LUCK TODAY EVERYONE! We can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceugley Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Welcome to Day 3, My day 2 was pretty good. Though I really wanted bad food (but of course I didn't) and I was so so tired. I'm still tired today but I know it will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 how does everyone feel today? I was very tired. I stayed home from book club so I could meal prep. I made this delicious beef Phô! I altered it a little bit to my liking but I recommend it! I used fennel as a substitute for anise, as I couldn’t find it. https://thealmondeater.com/2016/12/paleo-beef-pho/ Share your recipes! I love new ideas!

Ejanecek83 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Day 4! Keep walking by those donuts at the office. Close your eyes and keep walking... they’re disgusting anyway, right?! Lol don’t let the sugar dragon get you! yesterday at work I heard someone say there were cookies in the break room. I immediately took a detour to go look at them. I just had to sneak a peek! Then I slowly backed away...let’s just all walk away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missmolly222 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Day 4 is here and I am ready. I hit the gym this morning and felt stronger than yesterday. Hoping my body is starting to adjust a bit. Be strong today! @Ejanecek83 thank you for sharing that recipe. It looked delicious. I made the tomato and spinach frittata from the Whole 30 book and added some chicken apple sausage. Delicious! I would definitely recommend it for a bit of a treat. Definitely not a great everyday option (higher sodium and fat), but great for a little extra motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Day 5!! It’s Friday and our first weekend! Yesterday and today you may have wanted to kill someone. I was too tired to kill anyone so I’m happy about that:) How is everyone feeling? It’s been quiet in this group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missmolly222 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Day 5 and I am feeling pretty good. Almost to the weekend, but realizing how often my "plans" revolve around food. Food that I am know trying to change my relationship with. Harder than it seems at times. Have a great weekend everyone. Keep working hard!

a.keen Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Been doing really well all week! But I ate a granola bar today and feel super guilty! Anyone else ever slip up? What do you do to move on? Having a moment of weakness here... Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 @a.keen I’ve started many whole30s and slipped up. Unfortunately, you have to start over. I think the hat approach is to keep going then add five days to the end. Then it doesn’t feel like you slipped up and started over. It just feels like you are continuing and adding some days for good measure. It’s all psychological for me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yesterday I had a migraine after work. I haven’t had one in years. I wonder what’s up with that? Todat is day 6! @Missmolly222 I also realized how much my weekend revolves around food. I need to start making plans with my friends such as kayaking or other activities that don’t involve food. It seems as though I attach getting food with every plan, even let’s get food or drinks after kayaking. I need to break that cycle. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Have you started eating any new foods or spices since starting W30? Some people in my life have food triggers for migraines. Any recent changes in the work environment? I had a period of about 18 months where I was being rushed to the hospital with TIA symptoms (mini stroke), sometimes requiring multi day hospitalization & testing. Relatively fit and no health issues, eventually diagnosed as migraine. The trigger - the workplace, a busy / stressing environment. I could sense my physiology changing entering the building. Speaking of stress, it doesn't have to be blaringly obvious...even something as little as changing your eating pattern. ~ food for thought...

JulesR Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hello all, I am excited to report that I made it to Saturday with no cheats. I am actually liking my coffee without stevia, is that weird? I blend it with some coconut oil and it froths up nicely, so good. I did find around Day 3 I was very tired. I pushed through and worked out and felt much better after a sweat session. I am determined to make it to the end of this. Thank you all for your support. What is everyone doing for breakfast that is egg free and easy? I like something warm, a cold smoothie just feels weird in the morning. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie I haven't tried it yet but I plan to make the pork sausage from the Whole30 book with any kind of vegetables and have that for breakfast if I need a break from eggs. But so far I'm good with eggs everyday I just always make them different so I don't get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 @JulesR this morning I had sliced cucumber, compliant chicken sausage from Brat Hans, and sautéed peppers. The other days I’ve had leftovers from previous meals such as salmon cakes or chicken fried “rice”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejanecek83 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 @T2Andrew I have not had any new foods that I can remember but my doctor does think I’m possibly having food allergies of some sort (prior to W30). I’m seeing an allergist on the 11th. i do feel the stress tension in my neck from work. I am probably overwhelmed at times. Are you doing better now? What changes did you make? thank you for your response:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
