Whole 30 Day 22

Breakfast
Leftover meatloaf


Lunch
Steak salad from Logans Roadhouse
Used sliced lemons for dressing and had them leave the cheese off.  It was a pretty basic salad with grilled steak and I'm quite certain was probably cooked in peanut oil, tomatoes, bacon and hardboiled egg.  I decided that the high probablity of the meat being cooked in peanut oil far out weight the other options that were available on the menu. 


Dinner
Rotersserie chicken salad with 2 sliced strawberries and chopped red onion
Use the dressing from yesterday's salmon cakes.

Whole 30 Day 21

Breakfast
2 pieces of bacon
12 oz coffee black
I just did not have an appetite this morning.  I awoke in the middle of the night not feeling well and it seem to carry over into the morning.  Thankfully by lunch time I was feeling better because I made a yummy lunch for the kids and I.

Lunch:
Salmon cakes ( I told the kids they were homemade fish sticks)
2 can of wild Alaskan salmon
2 eggs
2 tbsp red onion minced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tbsp sundried tomato minced
1 tbsp cilantro minced
juice of 1 lemon
pinch of sea salt
Mix the ingredients well and form into small patties.  Cook over medium heat in coconut oil for 4-5 minutes per side. 

I made a paleo mayo and was inspired to get a little creative with my normal mayo thanks to Everyday Paleo.  I added a small amount of roasted red peppers, a clove of garlic and some fresh cilantro.  The added ingredients were made into a paste like consistency in the food processor prior to mixing with the mayo.

Seriously, all 3 kids LOVED these and the evidence was the completely clean lunch plates and that my friends hardly every happens in my house at lunch.  It seems that someone is always unhappy with something on their plate.  In fact my 7 year old ate 3 patties and asked if I could make these again tomorrow.  I told him I had to work so he asked if I could write it down and leave it for Daddy.  Too funny!

Dinner
Meatloaf
Green salad w/tomatoes and radishes used the left over dressing from the salmon cakes at lunch.

Whole 30 Day 19

Wow, I can't believe that only 11 days remain.  It seems like the first 10 days felt like and eternity but now almost 10 days later I'm asking myself where did the time go?  Had a great day today, good food, good workout and fairly well behaved kids.  Couldn't ask for anything better.  Today my husband and I met at the local high school again for an afternoon workout and we brought the kids along.  These afternoon workouts are nice especially when he is on duty because it gets him out of the office a little early and it also engages the kids in fun exercise.  Todays workout was:


1 mile warmup run
100m bear crawl
20 dumbbell dead lift 50#
30 dumbbell push press 25# each arm
40 dumbbell swings 25#
50 air squats
1/4 mile run


repeat x3

Let me tell you getting those kids out there doing some of the workout is great and seeing a 3 year old doing a bear crawl is priceless.  On the 2nd round my 3 year old decided that she was going to "walk" the "horse" and that was some great motivation to keep going without stopping (not that she was going to let me).


Breakfast
3 pieces bacon
Coffee w/2 tbsp coconut milk
1 paleo pancake made w/bananas, almond butter, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and a splash of coconut milk.  Fortunately there was only 1 left after my kids ate a crazy amount of them.


Lunch:
Chicken salad using previous night dinner added some apples, blueberries and used homemade mayo


Dinner:
Grilled pork chops marinated in apple cider vinegar, olive oil, paprika, chilli powder, ground coriander, fresh garlic, onion power, oregano and salt
Broccoli slaw with blueberries, apples and homemade mayo

Whole 30 Days 14-16

Eek....I got a little behind on the food journals.  I have managed to stay clean eating however and made some pretty tasty food over the last several days.  Today's Day 16's goal was to hit up the local farmers market.  I had my 3 year old daughter and pretty much let her choose the fruits and veggies to buy.  We left with quite a bit for less than $20.  I think our greatest find was some beets and I wish I could remember what kind they were other than orange.  But at the recommendation of the farmer I cubed them lightly coated them with olive oil and roasted them.  I also added an onion that I chopped into large pieces.  Delicious!!  And the kids loved it. Definitely something that I will make again.

Today Day 16 eats:

Breakfast
3 eggs
1/2 avocado  I think I ate about half.  I just haven't been very hungry lately in the mornings so I think that I only ate about 1/2.

Lunch:
Left over Puerto Rican Beef from Sundays lunch.  I also added a small amount of sweet potato and some hot sauce.

Dinner:
BBQ chicken with homemade sauce
Roasted beets and grilled squash
