After spending over a week being sick...and a little too much indulgence over the last couple of months, I decided to start another Whole30. It might end up being more like a Whole27 since we leave for Vermont on Oct. 12, but we will see and I will do my best.
Rather than post my daily eats, this time I decided to do weekly recaps.
Day 1 // Monday September 15
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Coffee w/ coconut milk, sauteed broccoli slaw and cabbage, 2 fried eggs, grapes | Smoothie - banana, coconut milk, frozen berries (blueberries and cherries), dark chocolate powder, and cinnamon | Skipped it...oops! | Apple with cinnamon and cashew butter | Pan-fried salmon, sweet potato, green beans, and cucumber + tomato salad |
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Eggs and sauteed veggies (peppers, onions, mushrooms), bacon, coffee with coconut milk | No snack! | {out} GF pizza | No snack! | Chicken fajitas with napa cabbage wrap |
Ok, I know GF pizza is NOT Whole30. Day 2 and I'm already slipping. Day 3 // Wednesday September 17
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Beet, carrot, & sausage hash, greens, 2 eggs, coffee with coconut milk | Carrots with cashew butter | Leftover fajita chicken on greens | Trail mix | Salad with shrimp and veggies |
Day 4 // Thursday September 18
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Greens, sausage, 2 eggs, coffee with coconut milk | Trail mix | Carrots and cashew butter | Smoothie - berries, banana, coconut milk, and greens | Leftover GF waffles with cashew butter |
Ok, for some reason I'm having a difficult time with this. I think I'm tired and uninspired in the food department. No, GF waffles are not Whole30, but yes, I ate them for dinner after going to a meeting and then spending two hours at my Advanced Cardiac Life Support checkoff. Day 5 // Friday September 19
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Sausage, greens, 2 eggs, coffee with coconut milk | No snack...too busy at work! | Leftover salmon, sweet potato, and green beans | Apple with cashew butter | No dinner... |
Day 6 // Saturday September 20
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
Sausage, greens, 2 eggs, smoothie | Trail mix | Salami, carrots, and cashew butter | No snack | Chili and sauteed green beans |
Day 7 // Sunday September 21
Breakfast | Snack | Lunch | Snack | Dinner |
GF pancakes and PSL | Trail mix | Leftover chili | No snack | Sablefish with olives and peppers; salad |
Yes, GF pancakes. Nope, not Whole30. But the PSL was!! I'm selling my secret for $5 (it tasted exactly like a PSL from Sbux) if you want to know.
Overall I feel like I ate pretty well this week even though I was not 100% with the Whole30. I'm having a hard time preparing things in advance, which is the key to success here. Maybe the timing is just not right for this. I'm thinking I'll come up with a new challenge, but I'm not sure what to call it, Whole30-ish? My goal is to eat more veggies and fewer "junk" foods (GF pancakes, etc. constitute "junk" these days).
