So that kind of leaves me with dinner leftovers? Does anyone else have any ideas? I am allergic to eggs and I can’t have my normal protein shake nor are smoothies a very good idea. Found myself very hungry again at a really early hour. Starting out with more hot black tea for breakfast. Could it have been sugar withdrawal!? scary… I obviously ate plenty, but my mind wants MORE! and it wants it to be sugary! Withdrawals… I can see already that this is mostly mental. I will share these recipes soon! The nice part is that I was able to steam some rice for the kids to have with theirs so that they felt like everything was “normal.” I am so, so full but I did see Pete longingly looking at that rice…Īfter dinner I had some herbal tea and then hightailed it out of the kitchen. Then I made a second stir fry with chicken, mushrooms, peppers and bok choy. The sauce had chile, ginger, garlic, tahini and then I used some coconut amino acids and vinegar for some snap. Then Pete started to look a little glazed over, so we decided to eat really early- it was a 5pm special.ĭinner was Stir Fry with pork tenderloin, asparagus, bell pepper and mushrooms. This afternoon I started to fantasize about sweets. LESSON#3 Making big batches of soup is probably the easiest way to feed yourself for quite a few days with minimal effort. This soup is awesome and I will eat it for lunch the next few days for sure. In it’s place I added a peeled and chopped sweet potato. I also made this Southwestern Chicken Vegetable soup without the corn. I know those frozen meatballs will save my ass one of these nights when I am too tired to cook. LESSON #2: make this stuff in double batches. Pete has already eaten about 1/4 of them. The other batch I plunked into the tomato sauce and then into the fridge for easy snacking this week. One batch of the meatballs I cooled and placed in a ziploc and them popped in the freezer. Instead of using worcestershire sauce (off limits) I added balsamic vinegar and instead of the dehydrated potato flakes I used the inside of a baked potato. today I made a double batch of the meatballs and a single batch of the sauce from my book Pure Delicious but I made these two adjustments. LESSON #1: have food prepared ahead of time. Not satisfying, but it took the edge off until I could get to the grocery store and prepare real food.

I ate a few avocado wedges wrapped in toasted salted seaweed sheets. Snack! I did zero prep ahead of time so I was starving and had nothing prepared for myself by late morning. I’m not gonna lie- my stomach is growling and I am tired and bloated from my pizza/chocolate/wine binge last night. Instead sipping black tea and making grocery list. Can I make my own? Also, had the kids brown-sugary oatmeal spoon on the way to my mouth to taste when I caught myself!īasically I am used to being in vacation mode- so I wake up starving and ready to head to the breakfast buffet. Realized I couldn’t pour my processed unsweetened almond milk into my tea. I couldn’t find a cloth measuring tape, so I will have to do measurements later today.Įek! Already almost messed up twice this morning. Also- the number was several pounds heavier than I thought it would be. Weighed in and found myself relieved to shove the scales away for the next 30 days. Here is the Official Whole 30 Program Rules Official start date: Monday, February 27th. I am also going to let you know how I do at getting back into fitness (harder for me than the diet I think!) For any of you who have done the plan or who are going to follow along and do it with me, please let me know how its going for you or any advice you have for those of us going for it- every bit of support helps! So follow along to see what I’m eating and how it’s going- The plan is to update this everyday and share with you what I can for a person with food allergies doing this for the first time.

Since I don’t even eat some of the things people find hardest to give up due to my allergies, I thought that this would be hard but not crazy hard (ha! We will see!) The hardest part and the biggest challenge will be sweets and then, of course, booze. Everyone I know who has tried it has found it to be a wonderful way to reset their bodies and gain perspective on the how their diet affects them. I knew that it was time for me to make some sweeping changes, and I have been curious for a long, long time about Whole 30. It is definitely time to get back in the saddle. I also used to be an avid exerciser, but after a surgery I had in August I stopped, and never started again. While fun (definitely!) they have also left their mark (err, on my butt). Trips, holidays, birthdays and more trips have made up the last four months. I have been on a pretty much nonstop party roll since November of this past year.
