HelloKirst Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Day One Late Breakfast (12:30 pm): 2 eggs scrambled in approx. one teaspoon of ghee + 1/2 avocado Exercise: 5k - it took me 42 minutes, I didn't push myself overly hard, but it wasn't easy either. I had to stop to walk too often and I was mentally tough on myself about how a 5k used to be an easy distance for me and now it is so hard. I turned that voice off quickly and decided to keep plugging away and that I didn't get out of shape overnight and I won't get back into shape overnight either. So, 5k = 41 minutes. Snack-ish (3:45): Iced coffee blended with a couple of TB of coconut milk Dinner (6:00 pm): Chicken fried steak (Paleo comfort food recipe), sauteed kale, and mashed cauliflower. So delicious and I have lots of leftovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelloKirst Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Breakfast (9:30 am): 2 eggs scrambled in approx. one teaspoon of ghee + approx. 2 ounces of steak + 1/2 cup kale. Also, coffee with coconut milk. My breakfasts usually are a little more vegetable heavy than this, but I was running really late out the door. I am proud of myself for getting something in my body (usually when I am late, I skip breakfast) but I hope to incorporate more vegetables tomorrow. Lunch (1:40 pm): Chicken thighs breaded in coconut flour + sauteed mushrooms + brussels sprouts + mashed cauliflower Snack (4:10 pm): Dried apricots and a handful of almonds. I was hungry, I want to try to quit these snacks because I know how much sugar is in the dried fruit, but I'm going easy on myself in day two. Dinner (7:30 pm): Curry with half a can of coconut milk, about 6 ounces of chicken, a couple cups of kale, bok choy and celery. Snack (9:00 pm): Toasted coconut (if needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Day 3 Breakfast - 3 ounces of leftover steak (again, no veggies - running late is the worst) Lunch - mashed cauliflower + ghee + a gravy made from the steak drippings, coconut milk & almond flour (not heavy enough on protein at all, but kept me satisfied for a few hours) Snack - dried apricots and a handful of almonds Dinner - thai curry with beef + a few ounces of roasted hen (take out). I asked the Thai restaurant a million times if either had sugar or soy and I was told no. Although, shortly after I ate, I was super bloated and uncomfortable. So, I'm not sure if there was anything non-compliant in my meal, but I am guessing there had to be. I am doing at least a Whole45, so I am not that worried about "starting over" since I am going to go longer than 30 days. I just was fascinated by how my body reacted already - I have no idea if there was anything non-compliant in my meal, but based on how my body rebelled, I wouldn't be surprised. Sleep - I didn't feel tired all day or late into the evening. I fell asleep much quicker than usual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Day 4 - woke up after only 6 hours of sleep and feel great. Energized. Breakfast (9 am): 3 ounces of steak. Again, running late. Coffee with coconut milk Snack (11:30 am): Was feeling a bit hungry, so ate my salad - romaine, cucumbers, carrots, balsamic, olive oil and about a TB of sunflower seeds. Lunch (or snack part two) (2 pm): 1/4 lb of prosciutto Snack (3:30 pm): 2 oz. steak + coffee with coconut milk Dinner (7:20 pm): 2 servings of sweet potato soup made with sweet potatoes, chicken stock, ground buffalo, onion and topped with half of an avocado. Today my eating was sporadic, I felt steadily hungry all day (I started my period today, which might be why) but I was trying to only snack on protein to help keep me satisfied. I felt like I ate a huge dinner, but I'm still not overly full - which is a great feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Day 5 Wow, day 5 already! I got a lot of sleep last night - it was wonderful. I fell asleep early (10 pm!) and then woke up naturally at 6:45 am. Since it was Saturday, I laid around in bed and napped off and on until about noon. Super lazy, but felt really nice. Breakfast (12:45 pm): 4 ounces of steak - my breakfasts need work Snack (3 pm): Half of a pineapple upside down cake lara bar. Wow, so good - but tasted SO sweet. I've always loved lara bars, but they've never tasted so overwhelmingly sweet before today. Exercise: 60 minute run. Still slower than I like, but felt better than Tuesday..so progress! Snack/Lunch: Right after my run, I ate the other half of my lara bar. I followed that with a large cup of sweet potato soup with ground buffalo and topped with half of an avocado Dinner (8 pm): coconut curry with leftover steak, kale, broccoli and carrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Day 6: Slept forever last night - seriously, nearly 15 hours. I'm not sure how normal this is. Brunch (2:45 pm): Sweet potato soup with ground buffalo and half of an avocado Snack (4:30 pm): spoonful of coconut butter while I cooked Dinner (6:15 pm): Curry with scallops, leftover steak, kale, broccoli, carrot, half of an avocado Today was a weird day of eating, I am a little hungry still, so I might grab a piece of fruit before bed. I cooked for the entire week and I am really happy to have breakfasts and lunches made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Day 7 - One week down! Last night took a little longer to fall asleep, probably because of how much I slept yesterday - but I was still out in less than an hour - and that is incredible for me! Breakfast (9:30 am): Frittata with ham, kale, broccoli - it was a little dry sadly + coffee with coconut milk Lunch (1:15 pm): Leftover curry from last night + kombucha Exercise (4:00 pm): 20 minute run...get faster, barely, but a few seconds shaved off per mile is something! Dinner (5:00 pm): I was going to a Blazer's game, so I brought leftover sweet potato soup to the office to eat pre-game. Turned out to be a great choice.

HelloKirst Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Day 8 - had a tougher time than usual falling asleep last night, but woke up a lot easier than usual this morning. I also woke up thirsty this morning, which was weird because I drank a TON of water yesterday. I brought a grapefruit to work (it just sounded so delicious) and I will be sure to drink more water today. Breakfast (9:40 am): Frittata with bacon, kale, and broccoli + coffee with coconut milk Lunch (12:30 pm): Grass fed lamb and one cup of kale cooked in one TB of ghee Snack (3:30 pm): Coconut Cream Pie Larabar (pre-run fuel and also really hungry today) + a few almonds and dried apricots - I don't know why but I am starving today. Exercise (5:15 pm): 35 minute run Post exercise snack: 1/4 of a grapefruit - not ideal, but it's what I had at the office Dinner (8 pm): lamb with kale and mashed cauliflower. I used a lot of homemade mayo in the mashed cauliflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Day 9: Wow, I was starving yesterday. So crazy. B: Leftover fritatta with broccoli, kale and bacon L: Sweet potato soup Snack: Chocolate Coconut Larabar + Salad with romaine, carrots, cucumbers, guac, almonds, olive oil, balsamic Dinner: Mashed cauliflower + lamb leg + ghee Snack: Banana cooked in ghee with unsweetened coconut and a couple TB of sunflower butter. Felt a little too much like SWYPO. Probably won't do that again. I was also exhausted and I think I was looking for food to stay awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Day 10: I can't believe I am already 1/3 of the way through! I had weird dreams last night about cream in my coffee and diet coke - I miss both of those things. Diet Coke I am going to try to say goodbye to forever, but I have to admit, I miss those gross chemicals for some reason. Breafast (10 am): handful of cashews, pistachios and almonds. So not ideal, but I forgot my breakfast at home and had no time to run and grab it or something else. Totally bummed, but the nuts are keeping me fairly satisfied. Lunch (2 pm): kale salad + chili + handful of cashews, pistachios and almonds Exercise: 3.1 mile run Dinner: (6:45 pm): Cauliflower rice + coconut curry with fish sauce, chicken thigh, kale, sweet potato and bok choy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKirst Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Day 11: Still super tired in the evenings and sleeping really well. It's really nice to be getting 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Breakfast (10 am): Running late again - I need a much better morning routine. Coconut Cream Pie Larabar Lunch (12:25 pm): That Larabar didn't keep me full for too long (no shock there) - leftover curry with kale, chicken thighs, bok choy, cauliflower rice, sweet potato Snack (3:30 pm): more curry. Leftover curry with kale, chicken thighs, bok choy, cauliflower rice, sweet potato Dinner (7:30 pm): Cauliflower fried "rice" with chicken, bok choy, and kale. "Rice" fried in duck fat.
