pearlgirl2017 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Day 2 - not so great with the food today. Compliant, but not enough of everything. Meal 1 - sauteed diced onions and kale in bacon drippings with 4 scrambled eggs (only ate half though), 1 dole mandarin orange fruit cup. Again, no added fat. Meal 2 - leftover Beef and Cabbage. Again, no added fat. Meal 3 - dinner was again 3 hard-boiled eggs (salted), a small Honeycrisp apple and almond butter. I did drink all my recommended water again today (yea me!) I haven't had any coffee for the last two days. I don't like nutpods, and I can't find an almond milk creamer that doesn't have any sugar. Plain almond milk is a no-go, so I'd rather just do without. It's decaf anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearlgirl2017 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Sept. 11 - Day 3 Still feel a slight headache. Incredibly thirsty.

pearlgirl2017 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sept. 13 - Day 5 It took the alarm to get me up this morning. A little sore from yesterdays workout. I seem to have found the tightest jeans I have in my wardrobe. I hope to feel them looser by the end of these thirty days. Meal 1 - 2 poached eggs on top of yesterdays Roasted Bacon Brussels Sprouts with the lemon/oil dressing. Some diluted black coffee. Snack at about 4 pm - Cashew Cookie LaraBar Meal 2 - last of the pulled pork with cauliflower rice, olives and a small apple. Still managed to drink all my water for the day.

pearlgirl2017 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Sept. 16 - Day 8 - Monday Spent most of Sunday cooking and washing clothes. Made a soup for my lunches for this week. Mondays are always tough to get out of bed. I stayed up too late reading. Meal 1 - 1 slice bacon, leftover boiled brussels sprouts scrambled into 3 eggs Meal 2 - Slow cooker chicken and sweet potato stew from one of the Whole30 cookbooks Meal 3 - big salad consisting of butterhead lettuce, about 12 cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber, green onion and 2 hard-boiled eggs. Basalmic vinigrette. Drank all my water for the day. I didn't have any cravings for anything today. Still waiting for my jeans to fit a little looser and my tummy to look a little flatter.

pearlgirl2017 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Sept. 17 - Day 9 I find that, for me, if I open a can of LaCroix in the morning I don't drink the rest of my water throughout the day as I should. So Day 9 was a bust on the required amount of water. I also screwed up and had some peanut butter. Right out of the jar. Didn't even think about it first. Was it a bad day? Did I feel the need to cheat? I don't know. I just know I wanted some so I ate some. Now I'm telling myself over and over to stay the course. Don't give up. Don't give up. Meal 1 - 1 slice bacon, 1/2 of a Sweet and Savory Blueberry Omelet with spinach https://www.stephgaudreau.com/sweet-and-savory-blueberry-omelet/ Meal 2 - a serving of the Nutty Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew w/slivered almonds from the Whole30 Slow Cooker Cookbook snack before making dinner - hardboiled egg Meal 3 - canned sliced carrots, thin cut pork chop, side salad w/dressing, then as I said, totally non-compliant peanut butter.

pearlgirl2017 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Sept. 18 - Day 10 As I mentioned before, this isn't going to work if I keep "sneaking" in anything that is non-compliant. Time to redouble my efforts and make this happen as it should. Meal 1 - the other half of the Blueberry Omelet (no other added fat this morning) Meal 2 - a serving of the Nutty Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew Meal 3 - baked salmon filet with fresh lemon juice and Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil, steamed yellow squash with ghee and green beans. Drank all my required water for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
