Mybrightnewday Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Greetings and salutations! This is my first whole 30, 2nd attempt though. The first go around, about a week ago, was very unprepared. I learned a lot about myself that week. I learned that I can't live off of dried fruit and nuts and that those are apparently trigger foods that I either didn't realize or just avoided admitting it. I am much more prepared this time around. Although today the fruit and nuts got to me a bit.. Ok, ok a lot! but I've done well yesterday and today. I am 28 years old, single gal, I work full time and I live with roommates and my super cute cat, Cabby. I really have few challenges in front of me when it comes to this, but that in and of itself is a challenge. I want to eat what I want because I can and that's that. I do want bread. I do want chocolate. I DO WANT MY WINE OR BEER AFTER WORK (I live in Portland for crying out loud!). But what I want more than all that is the freedom from my addiction to food and for my body to feel better. I suffer from depression, chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, acne, sugarholism... So this is it. I need accountability so I'm finding it here. Even if no one reads this, I'm putting it out there... Current weight: 180 (5'6") Breakfast: 2 fries eggs, chicken buger (not breaded) patty and a sweet potato, 1/2 bottle kombucha Post w/o snack: almonds, banana, 1/2 kombucha Lunch: large bowl of homemade coconut curry beef stew poured over kale Mid day snack that I should have said no to: a more than generous serving of raw trail mix, dried pineapple and dried mango Dinner: ground beef and bell peppers sautéed and over spinach, half of an avacado Then off on a date with my handsome guy, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybrightnewday Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Day 3....... Tired, don't want to get out of bed.... That's not unusual for me this crazy early on a Sunday (it's 10:00am). There are repair men in the kitchen, so I really don't want to have to make breakfast around them. Hm..... Maybe they'll be gone by the time I'm done getting ready for church. I am hungry this morning, which is unusual for me. I usually don't feel hungry this soon after waking up. I suppose that's a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwmary Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Great to read your post - I am on day 5 and I struggle with fitting my meal in for lunch at work when it is crazy busy. I forced myself to get up early today in hopes that the time change will be easier to take tomorrow morning. Today I really missed oatmeal! I am tired of eggs, but going to do my best to stick with it. Hang in there! We can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybrightnewday Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Seriously want to eat my feelings right now!!!! I'm having a hard time dealing with a particular situation and just want to throw my hands up and say "to hell with it! Gimme ice cream!". Instead, I'll make dinner. Salmon and sweet potatoes.

Mybrightnewday Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 And, I really miss oatmeal too especially over night crockpot oats with apples, butter and cinnamon/sugar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybrightnewday Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Today is day 4... I am really kind of in a bad mood and really want my usual midmorning almonds and banana. I have a little bit of a problem with nuts being food without breaks for me, so I've decided to not buy more until I'm at least done with the Whole 30. I definately am having food cravings and would welcome a food dream if I could please have one tonight. I am fantacizing about VooDoo Donuts on day 31. At this point in the game, I'm still planning my end-of-this-binge. I'm sure (I hope) by the time the end is here I won't want to do that, but for now I'm thinking an Italian dinner with lots of pasta and cannoli and cupcakes and nutella are going to be happening. Then a giant sugary coffee with lots of cream (I MEAN A LOT) and a Mango Tango donut from VooDoo (seriously, if you have never had one and want to have a serious food-gasm in the most wrong way ever, please visit their website... of course only to curse all of the inflammation causing foods that they sell!!). So, food today... Breakfast: 2 eggs, left over ground beef, mashed sweet potatoes all mixed together. So good. So, so good Lunch: 7 oz can of tuna, a whole avocado over fresh spinach, raw bell peppers, bottle of kombucha (I'm really addicted to this stuff...) Snack: Banana Dinner: Salmon, asparagus, and something else delicious... (probably broccoli but we'll see... and maybe some applesauce too...) Cheers!

Mybrightnewday Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 In addition to the above I did have an apple and a couple handfuls of raw cashews at work. I know I need to limit my snacking, but it is hard for me today. I don't feel like eating actual meals, just snacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
