Day 15 –
Extra energy and sugar craving
So today I
have had chorizo and mushroom omelette
Banana before
my lunch time run.
Lunch was a
tasty jacket potato with turkey chilli
I had a nakd
bar before swimming, which I enjoyed but I was starving while swimming which
was a distraction. Need to think of something a little more filling I think.
Dinner was
turkey chilli again with Zoodles and it was lush.
Today I must
say I am feeling good and strong. I also
am really starting to notice a difference in my appearance. My middle section feels slimmer (it may be in
my head but I am not measuring myself yet) and I just feel lighter if that
makes sense? I am also starting to think about what I am
going to do when the Whole 30 is finished.
I defo like eating this way and at the moment am not sure what to do
when it is finished. I have a weekend
away with the girls planned just after I finish and can’t really decide what to
do. We are eating out and I know I will
have a GF pizza as that is one treat I have missed. Otherwise I think I am wanting to stick to it. Usually we have a few drinks but I am not
sure I want to do that. I am thinking of
moving over to the Paleo diet and having
a treat meal/drink once a week. I would
love to know what other people think.
So here are
my eats
Breakfast was
the most yummy chorizo, Asparagus and mushroom omelette and a tea with almond
milk.
Lunch - I was on a course all day and took a tuna
salad with me. I totally forgot to take
a picture. It could have done with more
in but it was filling and satisfying.
Dinner was a
really tasty dish I have not had for ages.
Chorizo, vegetable stir-fry with a poached egg on top. Seriously yummy.
100g chorizo
sliced
1.5 pepper
cut into chunks
1 onion cut
into chunks
Potato quarters
(cooked already and I used about 7 new potatoes)
1 courgette
cut into chunks
0.5 punnet of
mushrooms cut into quarters
1 garlic
clove
1 chopped
chilli
Olive oil
2 eggs
I heated the
pan nice and hot and cook chorizo. Once the
chorizo is cooked and the oil released set aside the chorizo. Cook through all the other ingredients and
once cooked add back the chorizo. Then
poach two eggs in a separate pan. Dish
up the food and top with the poached egg and enjoy.
I am still
enjoying snacking on fruit, seeds and nuts.
Days 17 &
18 – Tiger blood
Well I have
had such a busy crazy few days but am sticking to it and feeling good. This is going to have to be a quick
post. Day 17 whizzed by and in all honestly I didn’t
take a single picture and I don’t even think I can remember what I ate!! I know I stuck to it and am really starting
to feel like I have lots of energy.
Day 18 was
also some what of whirl and my meals were planned and enjoyed. For breakfast I had a lovely slice of
breakfast casserole and lunch was a lovely bowl of soup with pumpkin seeds.
Dinner was a
very tasty Thai Green King Prawn Curry and very yum.
Day 19 – Gain
is tiger blood
I defo seem
to have my energy but I have been struggling when running to have the energy I need. I think this might be more to do with the
crazy week I have had as opposed to what I am eating. I can honestly say I have not been hungry at
all which is a bonus and I am not really missing anything too badly. I have had a busy and mad week that I know I would
benefit from enjoying a glass of wine tonight but I will resist.
Breakfast was
another slice of breakfast casserole which is easy to eat when I am short of
time on a morning. The only thing I will
say is that I am bored with it so really need to think of something new or to
add something more tasty in.
Lunch was
tasty jacket potato with chicken curry – yet again I forgot to take a
picture. Some blogger I am!!
Dinner
tonight is going to be a beef burger with sweet potato frys and I already can’t
wait mmmmmm
This weekend I
don’t have any definite plans other than to go walking and take in the beautify
autumn leaves. Autumn is defo my fav season.
I just love all the colours and food and I actually like the cold crisp
weather. I know I am weird! One thing I do miss is a weekly treat and
that is something I am going to defo incorporate once the whole 30 is finished. I am still not sure what I am going to do
moving forward but still think Paleo might be on my horizon.

Days 20 &
21
The weekend
has been lovely and so has my meals this weekend. It started with an amazing burger with
mushroom buns. It was lovely.
Saturday
started with a hearty breakfast of eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes.
I can’t remember
what my lunch was on Saturday but my dinner was an amazing Malaysian chicken
curry from ‘I Quit sugar’ slow cooker cook book. I made from when my friends came to
lunch.
Autumn is definitely
here now and I love it.

Sunday was a busy
but a lovely day as we went to look for some house furniture. On the way home we went out for dinner to
Chiquito’s and I had a lovely tasty meal of Prawn Skewers, roast potatoes and broccoli. It was delish. The restaurant is really nice, the service
was a little slow but the staff were very friendly.
We would go
back.
So how am I feeling
well to be honest I am a bit grumpy.
That said I am not craving sugar at all now or missing it really. I am just missing the occasions treat and a
glass or two of wine. I have some Paleo
treats planned for when I finish but really like eating like this.
Have any of
you tried the whole 30 and what you did afterwards?
Yum Great eats! Do the whole 30 foods fill you up?
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say i have never been hungry on it. I know you are not meant to snack but that is just something i can't do and so far that has been fine. It does take a lot of planning and being realistic of how much food you will need.
