Whole 30 Round 2 - FOR REAL

I haven't been very consistent with my blogging lately.
In the past month I have only lost 5 more pounds, and even those have really been back and forth the whole month. I keep fluctuating the same 2-3 pounds every week.
I have also been allowing myself to eat non whole30 foods a lot more often than I should.
I have been having mad carb cravings.



SO I decided last night that I was going to do another full 30 day round of NO grains, legumes, dairy, or sugar. I am gonna follow Whole30 EVERYDAY for 30 days. Not just most of the time like I am now because slowly my 80-90 percent is becoming 60-70 and that is a slippery slope.

So in preparation, yesterday I had oatmeal, a sandwich with cheese, 3 diet cokes, potato chips with ranch dip, and pizza.



GET IT OUT OF THE WAY ONE LAST TIME.

So today I planned out my weeks menu and made a 30 day count down sheet for my fridge.



I went to the grocery store and got all the items I would need for this weeks meals.

My plan for week one

BREAKFAST

Day 1: Chicken sausage, spinach, eggs
Day 2: Sweet potato bun with bacon and eggs
Day 3: Green Smoothie (almond milk, banana, spinach)
Day 4: Spinach eggs with bacon
Day 5: Sausage egg bake
Day 6: Green Smoothie
Day 7: Sweet potato bun with bacon and eggs
Day 8: Spinach eggs with bacon

LUNCH

Day 1: Steak, broccoli, mashed potatoes
Day 2: Root veggie chili
Day 3: Chicken and mushrooms with snap peas
Day 4: Root veggie chili
Day 5: Chicken and mushrooms with raisins in an acorn squash
Day 6: Chicken and snap peas
Day 7: Acorn squash stuffed chili
Day 8: Kale Soup

DINNER

Day 1: Antelope roast with parsnips and carrots
Day 2: Chicken sausages with cabbage
Day 3: Chicken and Kale Soup
Day 4: Sausage Egg Bake
Day 5: Steak and spinach with mashed potatoes
Day 6: Leftover Soup
Day 7: Almond crusted catfish with roasted broccoli
Day 8: Hamburger patties with home fries





Whole30 Chipotle Chili 

1 pound ground beef 
chipotle peppers in adobo (this brand is compliant some have sugar so read the label) 
Crushed fire roasted tomatoes 
2 Alarm Chili Kit 

OMIT THE MASA IN THAT KIT 

Throw this pouch in the trash as it is not Whole30 approved. 


Serving this over oven roasted sweet potatoes, parsnips, and butternut squash. 




I also roasted chicken breasts and sautéed some snap peas and mushrooms.



Having my lunch already portioned out and in containers to take to work makes staying on track so easy. I highly recommend anybody trying to watch what they eat spend an all day meal prep day on Sunday even if its just for your lunches.



I started a Whole30 round 2 in July but quickly decided to quit because of several trips I went on and I decided to just eat whatever. This time I am going to stick with my round and make it the 30 full days. I hope this will help me get out of this back and forth weight and down into the next 10 pounds off. 

From September so far 55 pounds down! 
From my highest ever weight in 2012 75 pounds down! 

I am only 12 pounds away from my first major goal and my Kendra Scott Rayne necklace!

 TIME TO PUSH FORWARD AND DO THIS 

I am still hitting the gym - getting stronger everyday. (I just added another step higher on my box jumps friday!)

 I just need to really focus on keeping my eating consistently clean which I know I can do if I focus and make it a priority.

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

Health and Beauty

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
