SchrodingersCat Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Still so sick. I'm miserable. But luckily I have freezer meals and so breakfast as Green Thai Curry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Mid-afternoon snack was half a cup or so of Buhuju snacks. Non-compliant ingredients are legumes and a small amount of rice flour. I Dinner will be steak with steamed veg, maybe baked sweet potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorna from Canada Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Sad to read that you're sick - I feel like I dodged a bullet getting out when I did as the landlords were both getting colds as I was packing up. Thai Green Curry for breakfast sounds awesome! Hubs and Gee depleted the store of freezer meals while I was gone (as was expected - I would've been irritated had I come home to find the freezer full!), and there only a few non-compliant things in there now. Need to get over this jet-lag and get cracking on my restock. How are you doing otherwise? Your meals continue to sound amazing - how's the FFF going though? I am happy to be back 100% W30 although I did great for 7/9 weeks I was away and felt so good then. I certainly didn't achieve full FFF if the final 2 weeks were an indication. sigh Still, returned home to try on some things that haven't fit well for a couple of years and they fit so - yeah. I'm not going to get on the scale. I still want to lose weight so I can return to running confidently but I'm hoping my body will let me know withoug having to weigh in. Anyway - wanted to check in to see how it's going - how's the vertigo for example? How's your weight loss going? You know, all the insider news. Cheers mate!

SchrodingersCat Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hello!!! Aside from the sickness, I'm trucking along. FFF is... well, I'm not there yet but I'm still reintroing slowly. I can solidly say I have reintroed soy, and legumes, and dairy here and there all with nothing terrible happening. Haven't reintroed grains properly, certainly not gluten grains, but I think that will come. We're away in Bali in 3 weeks and then it's going to be a bit of a free-for-all. Yay for the clothes fitting!! I'm about 42lbs down, which is nice. Loving shopping in my closet. No vertigo!! I'm so happy to be rid of that. I have to say, I'm truly enjoying the way I'm eating and the way I'm losing weight, so happy to keep eating mostly compliant for the time being. Too much wine is sneaking back in, I need to get on top of that. I need to food prep as well! I can imagine that the jetlag will be kicking your butt a bit but it's also great to get back on track when you're already out of a routine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 I finished the Bhuju mix, there wasn't a lot left. Breakfast was bolognaise, eggplant, zcucchini pesto bake. Snacked on some pecans and cashews. Dinner was lamb chops, baked sweet potato, steamed broccoli. Still feeling garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna from Canada Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Sounds like you're doing well. Congrats on the weightloss! 42lbs is a significant achievement and a great stride forward in health gains. I don't know that any one food group bothers me (except wine - I've actually gotten used to not drinking now - so weird) but, combine a few together in an unhealthy way and it's gastric chaos. After this W30 I intend to reintroduce things more strategically to see if I can pinpoint what's going on. Hope you're feeling better! Today is the day I know my jetlag will begin to release its hold on me... can't wait. Tonight will be my last drug aided sleep so, here's to feeling 'normal' again soon.

SchrodingersCat Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 I ate fruit cake last night. I'm not proud of it lol, but I felt garbage and just wanted it. Good news is, I don't appear to have had a bad reaction. But I need to get back on track now! I'm gonna have some tuna salad for lunch, because I forgot it existed and now I want some. Dinner, I'll think of something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Dinner will be flank steak, grilled sweet potato, grilled carrots and steamed broccoli, with chimmichurri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Ok, so the flu kicked my ass, physically and mentally, and let to baaaaaad choices. Saturday night we ordered chinese - I got a roast pork omelette. Woke up at 3:30am with heartburn that felt like I was dying. Fir the first time since I started W30 I had to take a bunch of antacids. Finally got back to sleep, sort of, then was nauseous all day. So was my husband! Yesterday was not compliant, curried pumpkin soup, tuna salad and pork with mashed potato (dairy), broccolini, sweet potato and peas. No real reason I decided to have non-compliant dinner, I was just in total "F-it" mode. So I'm bacl to compliant til Thursday, but my mom is over for Easter and I'm guessing that will go out the window again. I'm going to try to stay low carb, at least...

Lorna from Canada Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Yikes - you've really been battling illness for a long time now! Hope it's coming to the end and that you're feeling better Schrod. Being sick is the worst. I was in major F-it mode today when I realized I'd been eating chickpeas all week - given how awful my gut has felt (and a return of heartburn too), I think legumes are a problem for me. So much for my second W30 - back to the starting gates for me. Add in my jetlag and my annual back to winter - ugh - depressing state of mind - this has been a rough day. I don't even have anything halfway decent to eat and it's too wet and cold to go out to get something (uber eats doesn't deliver where I am right now). This food freedom and taking care of our bodies business is hard work! Okay - tomorrow is another day. I'm doing a road trip with a colleague who is also a good friend so, should be fun. Here's to both of us having a better time of this moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Here's definitely to a better time! I feel awful today, tail end of the flu, crappy food choices, and I freely admit too much wine over the weekend in my misery. I think it is the cause of my vertigo. So SIGH, out it goes. I should do another mini-round until we go away, it's just going to be so hard with my Mom visiting. I'll be as close as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Lunch was slightly non compliant, there was corn flour in my chicken soup but i needed that soup. Breakfast was eggs and spicy kraut, snack was tuna salad in celery and dinner was steak and roasted squash, carrots, beetroot, kohlrabi, and brussel sprouts tossed in olive oil and Egyptian dukkah.

SchrodingersCat Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 OK, I'm feeling better today, so that's nice. Lunch: Tuna salad and celery boats Dinner: Flake and scallops with lemon pepper seasoning and lemon ghee sauce, celeriac chips, broccolini and brussel slaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I've had bugger all sleep, so I'm cranky and tired and that always makes it hard, but I'm determined to not make myself more cranky. Plus, my digestive system threw a total hissy fit last night, I assume as a response to me mistreating it over the weekend, so I need to behave under threat of punishment. Food planned for today: Meal 1: Spicy kraut and eggs Meal 2: Tuna salad in celery Meal 3: Chicken and something. brussel slaw went down a treat and it's warm again today, so probably that. Maybe dukkah roasted chicken thighs, slaw, and sauteed carrots and broccolini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorna from Canada Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 No Momma here so nothing non-compliant to eat in my house. Day 3 of W30 v2.1 - I shall be on the look out for errant legumes... Hoppy Easter - hope you enjoyed a lovely autumn weekend. Cold rain here - ugh. We snugged up in our Airstream and put together a jigsaw puzzle. Peace Schrod!

SchrodingersCat Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Peace, Lorna! I hope you had a great weekend! I ate ALL the non-compliant things, ugh I feel awful. Hands are all puffy, and I have heartburn. Back to compliant now, until we go to Bali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 So yesterday was a giant fail. Laksa, followed by pepperoni pizza. My stomach HATES me. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Today, we have tuna salad with celery, and fajitas for dinner with romaine lettuce instead of tortillas.

Lorna from Canada Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Forgive my intrusion here Schrod but it sounds to me like you and I are struggling with the same thing... what truly makes something "worth it"? Like 15 hours ago, SchrodingersCat said: It seemed like a good idea at the time. just doesn't cut it, does it? I ate TWO giant chocolate cupcakes (delicious) AND a creme brulee in a single day at my work event last week because "it seemed like a good idea at the time". Like you, my stomach (and entire digestive tract) rebelled in the most painful and regretable way for the next 24-36 hours... NOT WORTH IT. In this W30, I am focussing ALL my attention on what would make giving up this peacful, restful (slept like a goddess again last night on W30 2.1 Day 6), beautiful pain free life afterwards worthwhile? I don't think pizza OR chocolate cupcakes OR creme brulee are going to make the cut. I still don't know, but am enjoying trying to figure it out.
