Day 13 on the Whole30 - DONE!

Although I like traveling, I don't know how much I miss home until I'm back. 

I learned a lot on the Whole30 while I was gone. I learned I could eat clean on the road, all I needed to do was plan and prepare a couple of meals and some snacks. I also learned that I needed to book a room with a refrigerator and to check the temp because if it's too cold my food will freeze. I learned I shouldn't eat and drive because that leads to mindless eating and driving for that matter. I learned I needed to bring a can-opener and frother to make my coconut milk latte. I learned I didn't have to have a drink before I made my way upstairs to bed...a hot bath is really all I need to unwind...Lastly and most importantly, I learned I could trust myself...With my history of EDs (eating discarders) it's sometimes hard to trust myself when it comes to food...It could be a mental, physical or emotional thing that could trigger it...To tell you the truth, I've always had a love hate relationship with food and now I'm starting to realize it's because of the food I ate...

Today's Stats
Water Consumption
130 ounces

I will post my 'Curry Spiced Lamb Shepard's Pie Recipe' made with a mixture of sweet potato and cauliflower topping. It was absolutely delicious. I put roasted trumpet mushrooms on top to add a little umami flavor.


Are there any other recipes you want me to post..???

Day 1 of the Whole30 Done...

Well, only 29 more days to go...Day 1 wasn't that hard because I spent all yesterday preparing my meals for the week...I mean I love to cook real food very often so the cooking part of the Whole30 is something I'm very excited about...To tell you the truth the hardest thing was not having a drink at the end of the day, but my liver needs a break, especially after this holiday season...

I challenged myself and my ladies CrossFit program in Sept to do the Whole30...The first week was the hardest, but after that I starting noticing I had more energy, I was sleeping better and my gut shrunk, which really means my jeans fit better, which I looked better naked, which really meane I felt sexier and isn't that what any woman wants...I'm 5 days away from my 38th birthday and if I can feel better and look sexier than I did at 25 then I'm going to do whatever it takes and to tell you the truth the Whole30 is all I have to...


So really question is what nutritionally dense food did I prepare this week that is going to make me satiated enough to not crave sugar-dense, gluten-filled foods...

For breakfast, I need on-the-go high in protein finger foods. I wake up early (5am) to coach (6am) and work-out (7am) and if I don't get something in my system right after then I'll crash around 9am which is the time my 'real job' begins. So I made hard-boiled eggs and mini egg McMuffins (without the muffin)...
  




For lunch I made a herb roasted turkey breast which I will put over salads or make into wraps...Did you know there is a lot of sugar in deli meat, so why not make your own...Next week I'm making pastrami...


Get my herb roasted turkey breast recipe.


For dinner I a made curry braised chicken in a coconut curry soup and roasted veggies...

For snacks I made my famous beef jerky and a couple of veggie dips...

Is there anybody else out there doing the Whole30 with me...???
