I was very happy that I was able to eat compliant foods for dinner despite the fact that I was at a social happy hour! I couldn't help but think about all the unhealthy foods that I was saving myself from that normally I would have indulged in without even thinking about it. Day 6: - Breakfast: kale chips, potatoes, scrambled eggs with sausage and tomatoes - Lunch: smoothie and compliant pork chips - Dinner: meatballs and kale chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emcate97 Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 To share my reasons for starting whole 30 again... My last whole 30 was four years ago, during which I lost 8 pounds and was able to find food freedom! I have been falling into bad habits again and found myself over eating out of boredom or emotions and rarely eating mindfully or based on internal cues. I was consistently eating foods that did not make me look or feel my best. I hope to target which food groups are less than ideal for me. I know whole 30 is not a weight loss diet, but that is one of my main motivations for doing this. After completing this round, my goal is to eat whole 30 all the time until I reach my goal weight. Day 7: - Breakfast: Rainbow veggie salad with lemon vinagrette - Lunch: 2 jerky sticks and handful of macadamia nuts - Dinner: shrimp and sopressata skewers and kale salad and roasted broccoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcate97 Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Day 8: - Breakfast: smoothie - Lunch: Chicken salad on lettuce wraps and leftover kale salad - Dinner: compliant pork rind chips and roasted potatoes Noticed I was feeling particularly bloated today and checked the whole 30 calendar and today says "no my pants are tighter".

emcate97 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Day 10: - Breakfast: roasted potatoes, scrambled egg with tomatoes, chicken sausage, and green onion - Lunch: smoothie - Dinner: Lettuce wraps with bacon, hard boiled egg, cucumber, tomato and homemade ranch Can't even believe how little I think about food! Before embarking on whole 30 I gave frequent thought to what I would be eating next. I found myself snacking often and over-eating because most meals involved "food with no brakes". Now I eat WHEN I am hungry, not before I am hungry. I stop when I am full, not when my plate is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the eggplant dish I made last night was a total bust, all I wanted was some ice cream but I refrained haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emcate97 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Alright, so back to the beginning! My birthday was this weekend and so was the fourth! I ate 100% compliant foods on my birthday and the fourth, but I did have cocktails. Then yesterday, I had greek food. I don't think I went completely off the rails because the meal was healthy, but it did have some pita and hummus/ tzatziki which is obviously not whole 30. I do not regret my decision. I ate WAY healthier than I normally would have had I not done whole 30 up until this point. I am still proud of the fact that on my birthday I turned down lobster mac and cheese, shrimp and gritz, birthday cake, ice cream etc! I blew out my candle in a fruit cup with whipped coconut milk. However, drinking definitely did NOT make me feel great and I am excited to get back on the whole 30 bandwagon again. - Breakfast: smoothie - Lunch: rainbow veggie salad - Dinner: Chicken, lime, cilantro soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadyVanilla Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The fact that you made good, though imperfect, choices and didn't beat yourself up about it is awesome. And you are right back to W30. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
