Derval Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I am pretty sure his head is whole30 compliant, and you should have no regrets. Kind of like offal. But I think his head may be empty of brains!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megankwf Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ha! This is hysterical...though maybe not to you?! Yes it will be super tough to entertain strangers (especially an ex!) sans wine... you are a trooper for sure! Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nila Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is it wrong that your rant cause me to giggle aloud? I'm sorry. Like others, I can identify. I had a surprise guest Friday for dinner. My husband invited his friend. I'd put a pork roast in the slow cooker that morning. I dropped by a store and picked up all sorts of awful stuff for the rest of the crew. At dinner the guest was quite intrigued with what I was and was not eating. Then he told me he was recently diagnosed as diabetic (due to a pancreas injury of some sort) and engaged in conversation about sugar and it's evil ways. At least I know this guy and like him. Total strangers...I might have had the same reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nshepardson Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 "Kill all things? No, just one thing, my effin' husband! More to follow.....rant warning" IMHO We can try to train 'em - but even after 24 years - NEVER freakin' works, right? Kale - I have to get more greens into my diet - cooked that is. Kale chips are now on the shopping list . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm not a big kale fan (yet), but am working on it. I found a mix of "power greens" at Whole Foods that has kale, chard & spinach, and it's awesome! I sautee it for breakfast, or mix it into an omelet, or use it raw for salad greens. I used to just buy baby spinach, but this is a nice easy way to transition and work kale into my regular rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well justified rant! I'd be through the roof. What you are making sounds fab though and you'll get through it a stronger person, no wine (the HORROR) and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for all the eh...feedback Day 13 9.30am 2 hr lie-in = More reparation (Reparations (transitional justice), measures taken by the state to redress gross and systematic violations of human rights law or humanitarian law) Same as yesterday - scrambled egg with spinach & smoked salmon, black coffee. Then I might as well have put a yellow sign on my head that reads cab for hire because most of the morning was spent driving from parties, training & races 12pm - the end of the bag of mixed fruit,seeds & nuts, mostly just seeds and an Americanno at the playcentre while waiting to pick up Lily Then on to collect dh from his cross-country race. Waited an hour for prize-giving, omg I was fit to be tied!! I am so NOT fat-adapted! Why??? Even though the gap between my breakfast & lunch was the same 5 hrs as ususal, maybe I am just so use to eating lunch at 12.30? I was nauseous & shakey with hunger by the time we got home. But hey, at least dh shared his prize money with me (well after all it must be all the paleo dinners that make him so fast, right?) 2.30pm - sardines with chilli, saurkraut, my own "pickled" beetroot, half an avo. Followed by cm coffee and some macadmaia nuts 5.45pm - sweet potato & red onion hash, pile o'bacon (my first bacon of my w30 - prev ones I have had it 3+ times a week!) and a fried egg. Very yummy comfort food, if I had a hangover this would be perfect and guess who's busy scrubbing all the greasy pans ? Was pleased to find my local HF shop has started stocking a new tea I've seen mentioned here - Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime so I will try that later... And in other news week 2 of 4 weeks to a more organised home completed sucessfully. Go me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Oh yeah. That Sleepytime tea will knock you the eff out! I'm loving Sleepytime Vanilla lately. Sometimes I think, "I'm so awake. There's no way I'm going to be able to sleep." Then, after a cup of that, I'm passing out in front of Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORBren Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Congrats on breaking out the bacon... I know it took some willpower of steel to wait so long. Bacon + Sleepytime = heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ironically even though the tea did work I didn't get to sleep till 1.30am. Dh was out and I kept hearing noises! So I was still awake at midnight. When he fell in and started snoring accompanied by the stink of Guinness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's hard to imagine Guinness tried to market itself as a health food. They even said it was good for milk production in nursing mothers! I heard that was bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derval Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Luckily it is a very rare occurence Nanette! so Day 14 isn't it? 8am - 3 chorizo patties, spinach, fried egg, cm coffee Coconut milk news! my (paleo) friend texted me to say our fav coconut milk was 33% off in the local supermarket. Hopped in the car & picked up 16 cans So much nicer than the one I got from amazon - still have 6 cans of that left. 11.30am - Americanno from Butlers café (gave dh the 70% truffle that comes with it ) with cm - for the 1st time I brought my own in a little vitamin jar. Had that and some macadamia & dried cranberries while at the movies with Lily - Monster Inc. 3d, love that movie 2.30pm - oddly not as ravenous as I was yesterday, lunch pretty much the same but with smoked salmon instead of sardines. 500ml of pepermint ceylon tea 5.45pm - roast chicken, roast sweet potato, cabbage & kale with fried bacon pieces & red onion. So good I had seconds Forgive the dodgy lighting Week 2 done & dusted. Fought a very strong urge to weight myself this evening after my shower, even telling myself that it wasn't a "real" weigh-in because it wasn't in the morning I've been trying so hard but I don't feel any slimmer really....I would have thought with my extra good habits of more water & less fruit/nut butters this round I'd be seeing visible results. Ho hum....I shall soldier on in poundage ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EileenRBe Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Derval, I don't feel any slimmer either. I was just reading forums about snacking and it says that to re-set hormones we're supposed to eat meals that sustain or mini-meals, which I wasn't doing--I was eating trail mix or veggies and mayo for snacks. Also I've been pushing the limits of fat allowed in meal templates. And I've been worried about being hungry and going off-plan because of hunger so have probably been eating more than I need. Maybe these aren't your issues, but I sort of backed into this whole 30 thing without knowing a lot. I've just bought the book so I can educate myself about it.

Derval Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Day 15 Wow, that's big, hope none of you are on dial-up (ha ha the young uns won't even get that!) Anyways.... 7.15am - cm coffee, 2 chorizo patties, 2 boiled eggs. 8.30am - GYM lower body mobility x 2 Box Squat 10xbw, In the rack for 5 x20kg, jees these are hard when you actually sit on the box and try get back up again! DL, 5 @ 40kg, [email protected] Upper body mobility x 2 Db Press, 5x3@10kgs Negative chins - there was no smith free to do these off so I attempted regular ones, and failed twice. plank rotation and full set stretches 10.30am - cm coffee. Then got busy making ghee, mayo & dressing Mayo fail! and the save! I split the 1st bacth with silly impatience so I added a yolk and whizzed again, no joy....So I pured it off into a jug and started from scratch, I added about half a cup of oil till it was good & thick and then used the split mix in place of oil - so a batch & a half of super luscious mayo and no waste! Used the mayo in my lunch - leftover roast chicken, avo, hb egg, mayo & sun dried tomato pesto. Delish, if not very suitable for a snowy day! followed by a spiced chai cm tea & 6 macadamias 5.45pm - meatballs (minced beef, pork, italian herbs & the same pesto) in marinara sauce (I grated in the core of the zuch which is what looks like cheese in it!), on zoodles. I fried these in my new ghee and had a taste of it out the jar, man it tastes like cake to me! Then I realised it's the brown butter flavour of caramel without the sweetness! Have a bit of a tickle of a sore throat starting and was very short-tempered with the kids this afternoon (well they were really annoying too) so I think an early night is in order. Week #3 treat tomorrow - highlights & cut, whoop whoop! ETA - 8.30pm , leftover chicken mayo & mug of sleepytime tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
