What I ate, the highs, the lows, the whatever…
Day 8:
What I ate:
Lunch: the girls and I were running errands this day so I grab a salad topped with chicken from McDonald’s and brought it home and used my own ranch dressing on it.
Dinner: Slow Cooker Pork Roast, brussel sprouts, and carrots
Snacks: almonds and pistachios
Drank water all day
I am getting to the point where my meals are holding me longer. I still get slightly hungry after dinner so that is normally when I have my snack. I also feel like my sweet tooth is going away. Haven’t noticed a swing in energy yet OR that foods taste differently. People on Whole 30 always talk about their tastes buds coming alive and I can’t say that is happening.
Day 9:
What I ate:
Lunch: Travis grabbed us some lunch while he was out and I forgot to take a picture… grilled chicken tenders and fries.
Dinner: Grass fed steak, carrots, and green beans
Snacks: no snack today
Drank water all day
Lunch: We were busy in the bathroom finishing it up and I was cleaning it so I didn’t really eat lunch. I did eat some cashews and 2 hard boiled eggs before running out to the store.
Dinner: Baked chicken breasts, zucchini, and red potatoes with ghee
Snacks: Banana sprinkled with cinnamon, mango
Drank water all day
I was a little irritated today. Not sure why. Slept better last night. Still no change in energy or tastes in food.
Day 12:
Lunch: Left over pork roast, sliced cucumber, and 2 hard boiled eggs
Dinner: Cauliflower fried rice… with chicken breast, peas, red pepper, carrots, egg, onion, garlic
Snacks: grapes and a banana
Drank water all day
Day 13:
What I ate:
Lunch: Baked potato topped with ghee and left over meat from the stuffed cabbage I made last week and then ranch dressing. Along with carrots and ranch dressing for dipping.
Dinner: Spaghetti Squash stir fry… red onions, carrots, chicken, garlic, and broccoli and a tiny bit of organic beef broth and ghee to coat the noodles.
Snacks: almonds
Drank water all day
I am pretty happy with the fact that my sweet tooth is pretty much gone. Not gonna lie that I wouldn’t eat a piece of chocolate in a heartbeat but the horrible urge to eat something is behind me. YAY!
Day 14:
What I ate:
Lunch: Left over pork roast tacos in a romaine lettuce wrap, topped with red onions and ranch dressing. Carrots and ranch on the side.
Dinner: Beef stew… beef, small red and gold potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, peas. This kinda turned more into a beef and vegetable soup since I couldn’t use flour to thicken it but it didn’t really matter, it was just as good!
Snacks: Pistachios and kiwi (another fruit I wouldn’t have eaten before this)
YAY! I have survived 2 weeks of the Whole 30!
Not saying it has been easy but it isn’t horrible. I need to work on dinners or at least the time we are eating dinner. We ate pretty late a lot this week but I can work on that. Again, thrilled the sweet tooth faded away. Still haven’t noticed energy boost but whatever. I have noticed an ever so slight change in my body so I am curious to see what will happen by day 30.
