AndJP Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Supper last night was pork loin with pears and cauliflower rice. Breakfast Today is leftover frittata and a side of strawberries, chia seed, hemp seed, a splash of coconut milk and a dash of cinnamon. Im feeling good. Starving this morning and a little sluggish but I expect that. Crossfit is at noon today, which always throws me off, food-wise, I will plan to have a hard boiled egg and a Lara bar before and then have my regular lunch afterward. I’ve become accustomed to drinking protein shakes after workouts so I’ll have to get used to not doing that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndJP Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 My plan got a little thrown off yesterday. Had a super upset stomach and was not hungry before Crossfit. I saved my hard boiled egg and Lara bar for after my workout. Then had a salad and two hard boiled eggs for lunch. supper was leftover pork loin, cauliflower rice, an apple and cashew butter. Breakfast this morning was half a banana, two eggs, a few walnuts, almonds and a couple scoops of coconut milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndJP Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Ok so I had a massive win, disguised as a fail, on Thursday. I webt out out for lunch, I took my own dressing and half an avocado and a hard boiled egg. I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken hold the dressing, croutons anything else that may be on it. I even said “just lettuce and chicken” got my salad and it looked perfect, I added a HBegg, avo and desssing and dig in....only to find halfway in that there was a middle layer of cheese and bacon. Wtf?! I had already added all my food and I didn’t have another option for lunch so I ate it. That’s the bad part. The amazing part is that in the past, even if I had an accidental transgression like that in my day I would have said “F$&@ it” and gotten dessert and eaten like sh$t the rest of the day. But I just stick to it the rest of the day and carried on. Im not starting over because I’m planning to go until July anyway so I will get a full 30 days in regardless. The rest of thursday day was good. I mad spaghetti squash with compliant meat sauce with avo and hot sauce. Friday was an on the breakfast of HB eggs, avo, Apple and strawberries. Left over supper for lunch (with crushed up plantain chips) and be left overs again for supper, as well as an apple. I’m making a conscious effort to eat a bit more fruit than I have previously in a whole30. Fruit is not a trigger food for me, in fact I do t eat much usually, but I do CF almost daily and I have found in previous Whole30s that I lose a lot of energy and end up skipping workouts, and that’s just not realistic for me. I need the workouts for my mental health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted May 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi, Andrea. Fruit is fine to have, but you'll probably get even better results if you have starchy vegetables too, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, beets, rutabagas, carrots, parsnips, plantains, or winter squashes like butternut or acorn squash. I see you have some, but be sure you have at least a fist-sized serving every day. You might want to be sure you have post-wo food of lean protein and starchy vegetable (just a few bites of each), before you have your next meal, in addition to your three meals. Here's a little more about why post-wo is important and what to have: http://whole9life.com/2015/02/eat-post-workout/ You can also have pre-wo food, protein and fat, if you feel you need it -- this is most important for people who work out first thing in the morning, or who work out several hours after their last meal, but even if these don't apply to you, if you feel like you're hungry and need a little something so you can get through your workout, go for it.

AndJP Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Had a good compliant weekend. My stomach is still adjusting. I had developed a bad habit of minimal vegetable intake and so I think my stomach is just adjusting to the massive increase in veggies and fat. day 7 today, in past whole30s it took a few weeks to regulate so here’s hoping.

AndJP Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 My stomach is feeling more normal today. I added some more starchy carbs to my meals and that seems to be helping. made the most amazing Whole30 cabbage rolls, game changer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
