kathejane Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Today is Day 1 of my journey to get healthy. I'm tired of being exhausted all the time, crabby, moody, and just feeling out of sorts. Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil, 1/2 avocado, 2 slices bacon, coffee Lunch - chicken breast, 1/2 sweet potato, cauliflower & broccoli Snack - 2 clementines Dinner - Salad which consisted of grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, cucumber, grape tomatos & 1/2 avocado Mood - super tired and was starving when I got home from work and it was too early for dinner so that made me cranky Water - 63 ounces - need to work on getting more water in Fitness - took puppy for a walk, 30 min full body Physique 57 workout not too bad of a day. Looking forward to tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2013 Something is off if you are starving during a Whole30. That typically suggests to me that you need to eat more at your regular meals. Breakfast and lunch looked okay, but maybe you needed 3 or 4 eggs and more fat in cooking your veggies at lunch. When you are hungry, go ahead and eat a snack. However, a good snack is really a mini-meal with protein, fat, and veggies, and not simply a piece of fruit or some nuts. They are okay, but a mini-meal is better. And you're right. Not a bad day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Maryann Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't see a fat at lunch. Fat is what keeps you full. That may be why you were hungry before dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathejane Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! I'm learning so much. I will definately up the veggie intake and make sure fats are included at every meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Robertson Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Toasted coconut flakes are a tasty addition to anything to up the fat a little. It also adds a little crunch and creates more texture to mix things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleena Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Day 2 and 3 were brutal for me. Especially day 3. I felt like I had the flu. That's my holiday "fun" coming back to bite me! I'm on day 4 now and feeling SOOO much better. I know there will be plenty of rough spots but I'm happy I survived the first one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathejane Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Day 5 today. Woke up after 7 hours of sleep and feeling pretty good. Today will be my first day of cutting down on coffee. I've been drinking way too much of it and want to cut back. Starting my day off with some peppermint tea. Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil, 1/2 sweet potato, grape tomatos and 2 slices of bacon Lunch - 1/2 chicken breast, 1/2 sweet potato & 1/2 avocado Dinner - Pork Chops from Everyday Paleo Family cookbook, Roasted butternut squash (also from same cookbook) and steamed green beans drizzled with olive oil and added some slivered almonds Feeling pretty good today. Was not hungry between meals so I was pleased with that. Goals for this week: up my water intake and get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathejane Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Day 6... woke up during the night with a horrible back ache, not sure what that was all about but it took me awhile to get back to sleep. Woke up with a headache, going to have some water and then peppermint tea & hope it goes away. Breakfast - chocolate chili topped with 1/2 avocado and green beans drizzled with olive oil & slivered almonds. Lunch - romaine lettuce salad topped with egg salad (2 eggs, mustard, dill), grape tomatos, cucumber Dinner - grilled chicken breast, 1/2 sweet potato wasn't real hungry today at all. Everytime I eat I just feel stuffed and I don't think my portion sizes are too big. Going to bed early, really on working on getting at least 7 hours of sleep.

kathejane Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Today is Day 1.....again I'm starting over. After a couple highly stressful weeks I not only fell off the wagon, but I rolled downhill and fell over the cliff. So, I'm picking myself up, dusting myself off and starting over. I'm not happy that I reverted back to old habits but I need to stop dwelling on it and move on. sleep - up at 4am (went to bed at 9pm) Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled in coconut oil, 1/2 avocado, green beans, clementine & peppermint tea Lunch - Chicken breast & 1/2 sweet potato. Not really hungry today, think I'm coming down with the cold that seems to be going around my family. Will make sure to add healthy fats and veggies into dinner. Dinner - mini meatloaves from Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook & Cocoa roasted cauliflower from Well Fed. Everything tasted excellent but didn't eat much because I'm still not feeling great. Water - 42oz, still working on getting more in everyday Physical - had a headache all day today. Only exercise I got in was taking the puppy for a walk. Emotional/mood - a little crabby today, not feeling very social Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
