Cheryl J.'s Post-Whole30 Log

Cool! I can keep truckin' here!

Whole30 #2 100, Day 1, 2.5.13:

Meal 1: canned salmon, almond butter, raw sauerkraut, unsweetened tea flavored with berry juice, coffee

I thought about the events that could come up in the next 30 days and realized that this might be more "Whole30-ish" than strict: I have stage fright, and in order to manage it I take a glass or two of red wine. However, if that's the only exception to the program, then I won't be doing too badly.

Meal 2: canned chicken, almond butter, tea

Meal 3: coffee, vegetable curry w/ chicken, raw sauerkraut, almond butter

Bedtime: Natural Calm, a little more almond butter, and Sleepytime Extra tea

Tired by the evening today -- don't know if it's b/c I've restarted low-carb or not... seems too soon to feel this tired.

Whole100, Day 2, 2.6.13:

Meal 1: canned chicken, vegetable curry, coffee, unsweetened tea, almond butter, raw sauerkraut

"Pre-Performance" copa: Corona (and so that makes this a Whole101)

Meal 2: same as above, no coffee (was beginning to get headache), meticulously picked the baby corn out of the curry and was becoming quite P.O.ed about it

O.K., wait a minute... I was reading the posts over on the "100 Days of Awesome" group, and I think I might not be able to post if I'm going to include "transgressions" (even if beer/wine are the ONLY ones). Need to give the replies over there some thought...

Edit: Just posted in the "100 Days of Awesome" group with an explanation and decided, nope, not Day #2. I'm going to figure out the days on which I might like to have a glass of wine, break up the 100 days into those periods, and exclude the potential wine-drinking days, which means I'm starting over tomorrow. It's not a perfect Whole100, but it will be very, very close.

Meal 3: coffee, vegetable curry (damn that baby corn! :angry: ), almond butter (beginning to become a crutch :unsure: ), unsweetened tea, 4 clementines

Meal 4: chicken apple sausage w/ raw sauerkraut

Before Bed: almond butter, Sleepytime Extra tea, Natural Calm

Hey Cheryl, with the title indicating a post whole30, you can add anything into,your log and highlight non whole30 items and list wine and do whatever suits you... Whole9 created this section especially for this.... If you know in advance how many days you are going to do or can commit to a minimum then you can create a log for that in the whole30 section. But if you want flexibility to go as long as it ends up then I reckon this is a good place

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this forum! I'll keep journalling here, do something like a "broken" W100, with wine being the only off-plan item. By the end of it, I suspect I'll have gained much more clarity about my relationship with wine (and alcohol in general :ph34r: ).

Best,

Cheryl

7.4.13: It's been a long time since I've posted, and I have been sliding up and down the slippery pole of healthy eating in the meantime, but I think I can say I've become fully comfortable with Paleo eating over the course of the year. Since mid-June (after I moved), I've been eating game meats (elk, venison, wild boar), good quality eggs, Brussels sprouts, white rice, and coconut oil, and drinking lots of decaf coffee and green tea with powdered stevia. When I ran out of the rice and the stevia I decided not to buy any more, and with those things cut out, and if I continue eating the other things (the game meat and the Brussels sprouts), I'll be pretty close to W30 eating, with the exception of some milk in my coffee every now and then. 

 

Meal 1:

3 eggs scrambled in coconut oil

Brussels sprouts

decaf green tea w/ cinnamon stick 

 

decaf coffee w/ organic whole milk & cinnamon

 

Meal 2 and onward:

brownies... lots of brownies, which brought on stomach pains and brain fog... and then white wine. Felt like garbage at the end of the day.
