Lemonzester Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Day 23 Another good day! I am very much enjoying this "magic" time - good sleep, good energy, no stomach problems! Breakfast: chicken sausage, sweet potato, TJ's Southern Greens, half an avocado Snack: handful of macadamia nuts Lunch: 3 slices turkey balogna, cucumber sticks, roasted cauliflower Dinner: green coconut curry with broccoli, spinach, pineapple, and lamb I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill today, but felt no need for a pre-WO and post-WO meal, because my lunch and dinner ended up being so close to the times I would have eaten those mini-meals. I also am not sure that the intensity of my workouts merits extra calories. Maybe a post-WO, but not a pre-WO. Another note: yesterday, I forgot to say that I also ate the remaining quarter can of coconut milk that had been chilling in the fridge with a spoon, and it was DELICIOUS. Just like ice cream, pretty much - or really, Coconut Bliss, my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonzester Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Day 24 Still feeling good! I did take a nap in the late afternoon. Not sure why, because I slept well. This of course impacted when I fell asleep. Annoying. I did well in yoga again, which is a great feeling. It's great not to have stomach bloat in the way! Breakfast: chicken sausage, greens, diced apple, half an avocado Lunch: salmon cakes, arugula with dressing made from Sunshine Sauce, blueberries Snack: macadamia nuts Dinner: green coconut curry with broccoli, pineapple, spinach, and lamb (would be remiss if I did not admit to eating a few delicious spoonfuls of refrigerated coconut milk before I added the rest to the curry...)

Lemonzester Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Day 25 Totally overslept today, but I blame the sleeping pill I took. Also, my body/muscles hurt today from yoga yesterday, and I guess, inactivity today. Otherwise, I did fine. I had a bit of a prep day, roasting sweet potatoes and braising and shredding chicken thighs. I really do need to consolidate this into one big prep day, since I end up shopping and prepping like 3 times a week. Breakfast: chicken sausage, diced apple, brussel sprouts, half an avocado, kiwi Lunch: shredded chicken thighs with lemon gravy, roasted sweet potato with coconut oil Snack: spoonful of sunbutter, just cuz Dinner: mixed greens salad with cucumber, celery, carrots, spring onions, shredded chicken, avocado, and Cumin Lime Dressing, kiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonzester Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Day 26 PMS day! A little bloated, a little achy, a little GI upset. It happens. I tried to feed it with more carbs. Breakfast: leftover breakfast hashes, sweet potato, half an avocado, a banana Lunch: leftover shredded chicken thighs with lemon gravy and leftover cauliflower over a bed of salad greens and cucumbers (YUM) Post-WO snack: half a Larabar Dinner: leftover lamb, sweet potato, salad greens and cucumbers, homemade mayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonzester Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Day 29 I can't believe it's almost over. I am toying with the idea of extending, since I still crave sugar and sometimes snack inappropriately. Breakfast: chicken sausage, apple, greens, half an avocado Lunch: leftover salad Dinner: green coconut curry with broccoli, greens, butternut squash, and steak, blueberries, kiwi, raisins Forgot to add - I took a bizarrely long nap this evening, and I can't figure out why. Like, 3 hours. Maybe I had a virus? My allergies are kicking in the past few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonzester Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Day 30 I can't believe this day is here! I feel really great, I've lost 5 lbs., my skin looks great, and most importantly, I have not experienced any unexplained bloating or painful indigestion! I still have tendonitis, allergies, and anxiety/depression. Perhaps these are not caused by my diet, perhaps I need more than a Whole30. I also still feel the urge to binge eat. I don't know that that will ever go away. In any case, I am putting off reintroduction at least until next week - so I guess this is becoming a Whole30+ (TBD)! Breakfast: chicken sausage, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, half an avocado Lunch: beef chili, half an avocado, pear Pre-WO: spoonful of sunbutter Dinner: salmon cakes, salad greens, cucumbers, scallions, olive oil, half an avocado Post-dinner: weird binge - some dried apricots, a few spoonfuls of coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
