Whole 30 Day 12

sweet potato hashbrowns

Handful of grapes

Whole 30 Day 11

Another day down and feeling good!  Aside from being hungry all day things are going great.  I didn't have my usual avocado this morning with my breakfast so I'm wondering if that contributed to this feeling of being hungry.  By the time lunch rolls around I'm just famished and not a very nice person to be around until I get a little food in me and this is really out of the ordinary.  At least the famished part is  ;) 

Breakfast:
3 eggs scrambled

Lunch:
1 can wild Alaskan Salmon mixed with paleo mayo, kalamata olives and red onions

Snack:
Organic red grapes

Dinner:
Cinnamon rubbed pork chops with sauteed apples
avocado
tomato salad with onions kalamata olives and balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing

Whole 30 Day 10

I decided to put a whole chicken that I had defrosted into the crockpot just before I went to bed.  I awoke at O dark 30 to an amazing smell throughout my house.  I think I actually heard my stomach growl in the middle of the night.  All I added was a jar of Herdez Verde Salsa (which I swear by) smoked paprika, 2-3 tbsp and 1-2 tbsp ground cumin.  Set on low for 8 hours and woke up to an amazing tasting chicken.

Breakfast
3 scrambled eggs
2 pieces bacon
1/2 avocado
12 oz coffee black

Lunch
Left over chicken from last nights dinner

Dinner:
Crockpot chicken.  My kids were LOVING this chicken.  In fact my boys ate 3 helping of this "mom, it tastes like our tacos but with chicken!".  I made some sweet potato hashbrowns to go with this as mixed up a bunch of hot sauce and it was delicious!  I will have to remember the whole cooking the chicken during the night trick because that was one thing that made life just a little easier today!

Whole 30 Day 9

As following the Whole 30 plan I have not stepped on a scale since Day 1.  In fact I told my husband that I'm so curious to know if I've lost even a pound or two but then on the other hand I would be so discouraged and disappointed it the scale hadn't budged. I know that I should be looking at this in terms of getting my eating and health back on track but I would be lying if I told you that the weight wasn't important also.  This morning I was quite surprise and pleased with myself.  First of all, I woke up feeling great again as I have been for the last several mornings.  Its nice to start your day feeling refreshed not like you have been hit by a truck.  But really the best part of the day was when I put my jeans on fresh out of the drier and I didn't have to suck it in to button them.  Girls and guys you know exactly what I'm talking about.  The "suck in" to get the button done and hope that the waistband will stretch soon.  My pants were feeling good today!  This morning reaffirmed to me that what I'm doing is working.  I feel good, have more energy and my pants are fitting better!

Breakfast:
Leftover fritatta (last 2 pieces)
Coffee 12 oz 1 tbsp coconut milk

Lunch:
1 whole avocado with balsamic/olive oil dressing
1 piece bacon
1/2 apple

So my lunch sucked and in all honesty I was starving.  I ate the avocado while I was hard boiling some eggs.  I got sidetracked working in the yard planting some flowers and before I knew it it was 3:00 and all I had to show for it was a hungry belly, pretty flowers in the yard and a sunburn.  No bueno (except for the flowers).

Snack:
2 hard boiled eggs this held me over until dinner.

Dinner:
Paleo "breaded" baked chicken.  I thought it was pretty darn tasty dipped in "ranch" dressing as my kids call it which is really homemade mayo with a little extra spices and vinegar.
Sweet potato french fries

Whole 30 Day 8

Today's goal was to get my children out and have some fun for the afternoon.  Today was the first day in quite sometime that it was sunny and warm.  It seems that all of May and the first part of June were so rainy.  After a busy morning and completing some projects around the house I took my 2 older boys to the local high school for a workout (OK, my workout their play).  We ran the bleachers for a 10 minute warm up followed by 100m sprints for a total of 1/2 mile.  After each 100m we alternated push ups and squats.  I added in some ball slams, mountain climbers and one more bleacher run before we called it done.  My kids didn't do all that I did but they did complete the track run/sprints with my and I was very proud of them.  They told me when we were leaving that they can't wait to go do it again.

Breakfast:
Left over fritatta
Coffee 12 oz with 1 tbsp coconut milk

Lunch:
Left over butter chicken and cauliflower

Dinner:
Taco meat with salsa and avocado

Snack
Small handful of almonds

Whole 30 Day 7

Day 7

Yes, I'm considering this day 7.  Saturday was a small blip on the radar and I'm back on path.  Today will be a day of planning out meals for the week and getting them in order to make life a little easier. 

Breakfast:

Left over fritatta
coffee 12 oz with 1 tbsp of coconut milk

Lunch:

Egg salad (3 eggs)
1/2 avocado with balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Dinner
Better Butter Chicken (as requested by my children)
1/2 spaghetti squash roasted with coconut oil and cinnamon

Whole 30 take 2

Day 1 (or 6)

Yesterday is behind me and today is another day. 

Breakfast:

I made a frittata out of last nights left over veggies.  So simple warm the veggies in a large skillet with a little coconut oil.  Add 10 beaten eggs, cook on low for 5-7 minutes.  Place in 400° oven for 15 or until firm in the middle.  This turned out to be a very tasty and filling breakfast and the best part is plenty of leftovers to get me through a good portion of the week!

Coffee 12 oz with 1/2 tbsp coconut milk

Lunch

Can of Wild Alaskan Salmon over cabbage with dressing.  Threw in a diced Roma tomato and kalamata olives.

Dinner

Mahi Mahi marinated in lemon juice, fish sauce, garlic and wheat free tamari.
Roasted Curried Cauliflower courtesy of Everyday Paleo.  These were delicious and my kids loved them
