I had the breakfast "pie" for breakfast and I think it's growing on me. I may try to make it correctly next week. So that was my breakfast along with half an avocado.
Lunch was pork heaven, a tomato and brussel sprouts. I also had an apple when I got to work, should have mentioned that.
Dinner was Whole30 approved Chipotle...it's not as filling as you would think. I really need to cook up those onions but I have plans both tonight and tomorrow so I hope they don't go bad! I think it will be okay.
My mom is starting a Whole30 on Saturday so we are going to go shopping Friday. How lucky that I'm already almost 2 weeks in so she doesn't have to struggle :) Just kidding, but I wish I had had someone to start with for sure.
Since I'm still hungry I'm going to finish up watching this episode of Ugly Betty then head to bed! Hopefully I will get up in time the total strength class tomorrow!!

Day 10
Today was good! I had consistent energy throughout the day and at no point was I ever starving or feeling ravenous. I had a hard(ish) workout this morning which was walk 5 minutes for warm up then run 5 walk 1 (repeat 5x) then walk 5 to cool down. Here is the menu from today:
Breakfast: Breakfast Pie and half an avocado
got to work and had an apple and a larabar
Lunch: Yummy pork and a ton of green beans
Dinner: Shrimp, a tomato and brussel sprouts! Which I actually really liked!!!

After work Devon and I went to a Total Strength class at the Y that totally killed my arms, so I'm looking forward to not being able to even lift a glass to my mouth to drink water. This subsequently means I may have a hard time shoveling food down my throat which may force me to actually have some self control (I just inhaled my last larabar while typing this...woops.)
I'm a third of the way done!! I counted the days on my calendar and I will be done May 21, which is a Sunday and will simultaneously be a day of rest and quite possibly overindulgence...but I won't get ahead of myself!

Day 9
Holy Moly I can't believe I've made it 9 days. No pictures this time around either, it was a busy day! Also, I would have taken a picture of the breakfast "pie" but it kind of looks gross so I thought I'd spare you.
Also, I don't know if I posted the links to Whole30 but now I am going to be because a couple people have been asking me questions and even saying they want to do a Whole30 themselves!
Whole30 Website: http://whole9life.com
Paleomg (where I get a lot of my recipes): http://paleomg.com
Nom Nom Paleo (more recipes): http://nomnompaleo.com
Another good resource is the "It Starts With Food Book" which I would recommend reading before you start a Whole30 just so you know what you are getting yourself into. It can be found here.
This morning I ate a piece of my breakfast pie and it actually turned out pretty good. I probably won't make it again though, I kind of miss my pepper and onion burger patties for breakfast, those were delicious.
For lunch my old church had a potluck so for the best of my knowledge I did a good job. I had pulled pork and a fruit and lettuce salad thing and some green beans. It hit the spot.
Yesterday I think I mentioned being so so hungry and so I jumped on a Whole30 forum to complain about it and basically the people said I need to eat more..and ditch the larabars, but mostly eat more.
It would be way easier for me to justify eating more if today at my old church's reunion I didn't keep hearing "Oh my goodness you're so big!" over and over. To their defense, most people remember me as an 8 year old so it makes sense, but maybe trying saying I look grown up or something.. right?
The crockpot is cooking up that yummy pork stuff I love right now and I have a piece of salmon thawing out and a sweet potato in the oven. I'll have the salmon, sweet potato, and the rest of that broccoli for dinner then call it a night!
Tomorrow I'll be a third of the way done!! Yay!

Day 8
Today has been a weird day, I've been a bottomless pit. I'm so hungry. Buying larabars was clearly a mistake because I've already had three today. My meals were so off today because I've been doing a lot of things. I went to a Total Strength class at the Y then ran for 20 minutes.
Before I worked out I had a larabar, after I had a burger patty, tomato, and half an avocado...and then 2 scrambled eggs...
I ate another larabar on the way to the Queen's Cup, which was pretty fun!
Dinner was salmon and broccoli, then some shrimp later... then another larabar, and some tea... and some blueberries. Everything Whole30 friendly but I'm still STARVING.
I decided to try this recipe from paleomg.com and it's in the crockpot right now. I accidentally bought cooked sausage so I'm not sure how that's going to work out but I think it will be okay.
I am also going to make my yummy pork stuff tomorrow so I can take that to lunch all this week.
Did I mention I bought rooibus tea? It was delicious. Not as good as Caribou but still worth it.
Ugh I'm so hungry.

Day 7
Oh my goodness it's been a week! Right now I'm watching Live of Pi. I went to get my groceries for the next week and saw a red box and new that I had to get the movie, the book was good.
Back to Whole30
Breakfast I had a burger with avocado and tomato, lunch was shrimp, strawberries, carrots and peppers! Then I went to a jewelry party for Stella & Dot with my friend Elisabeth. The jewelry was beautiful but what really had me tempted was the delicious food! Especially the cheese, cake pops, hummus and spinach artichoke dip. Oh...and the wine!
I ate 2 larabars and a TON of grapes while I was there, and barely resisted, it was so difficult.
Didn't work out today or take any pictures of food but I will probably do so tomorrow! I was going to make this breakfast "pie" from paleomg.com but I need to shred a sweet potato and I don't have a shredder!!!! So I will be getting one tomorrow.
Now I'm off to watch this movie. I have a big day tomorrow, I'm going to a strength class, I need to go by khaki shorts because I'm volunteering at the Queen's Cup, then I'm going to the Knight's Game! Hooray for the weekend!

Day 6
Today was normal. Minus how I got super hungry at 2pm and had to walk to RiteAid to see what they had to offer. Spoiler Alert: not much...
I got some almonds and dried plums which I learned are the same things as prunes, but they weren't bad.

Breakfast was an omelet which was kind of okay. It had peppers and onions in it with a side of delicious strawberries. I think they are about to go bad so I'll probably eat the rest of them at lunch tomorrow.
Lunch was a burger patty and half an avocado which explains why I got hungry so quickly. I think I'm going to pick up some larabars for emergency hunger.
For dinner I had a Newk's Salad and it was Whole30 friendly to the best of my knowledge and it was pretty okay, I was really jealous of every one's delicious looking sandwiches though. Salads don't really give off a savory amazing sandwich smell.
It's been such a long day so I'm going to cuddle with my laptop in bed and watch an episode of Ugly Betty!

Day 5
Last night I went to bed later than normal, like around 9:30pm. Normal (during my Whole30) has been 8pm, but since that strength class went til 8:30 that just wasn't going to happen.
This morning it was kind of difficult to get up, I'm pretty sleepy. But, before I could talk myself out of my workout I went ahead and got up because as cheesy as it sounds I really really want to see some results! And I can't see results by lying in bed and not working out.
Today's workout was 5 minutes of walking to warm up then 1 minute fast running followed by 3 minutes of walking, repeated 7x. Then a 5 minute walk cool down. I had to take some serious time stretching after that because I'm pretty sore from last nights class.
I had my burger/tomato/avocado breakfast this morning, delicious. Then I felt lazy and didn't want to pack my lunch so I'm going to walk to Chipotle on my lunch break. SOME of their stuff is Whole30 friendly, take a look at their ingredients menu. So I will be getting carnitas, lettuce, mild salsa, a bit of medium salsa, and guacamole. No rice, no beans, and unfortunately their veggies are cooked in soybean oil so that's a no go for the Whole30 as well.

It was pretty darn good. For dinner I had the rest of my pork, a tomato, and a banana.
My friend Elisabeth encouraged me to come with her tomorrow morning for a Total Strength class so I will be there bright and early at 5:45 am. I need to get some sleep. It's really only 9:20 but it feels like 2am.
Still no drastic changes, I don't feel bloated anymore which is awesome but that's all I really have to report!
