Nice to see more people on here! I know for a fact that there are bunch of you lurking & not posting.....join us!! It really helps everyone to see different meals/ideas and to hear how other people are doing......no more taking without sharing :)
Kurt & Claudia - post already!! haha
I am doing well, I know that the protein that I am eating isn't organic & free range....but it's the best I can do while eating at hotels, airports & malls!! I am looking forward to trying a few organic, local restaraunts that people have told me about around here...
Overall I feel really good, definitely less puffy!
Post to comments!

1: 2 eggs over easy, ham, sausage, fruit bowl, black coffee
ReplyDelete2: bacon wrapped scallops (I KNOW that bacon isn't technically allowed, it was literally the only thing that was close to clean at the pub that we had lunch at and I wanted protein - don't follow my example), turkey patty w/avocado
3: tea, tea, tea (interviewing people at a tea shop all day)
Breakfast: omelet with spinach, guacamole, and salsa. Ham slices, grapes and black coffee.
ReplyDeleteLunch: more ham slices, hard boiled egg, carrots, celery with almond butter, apple
I'm feeling pretty good so far, no real bad cravings for sugar! Last night the guys had ice cream sandwiches, my favorite! But it was surprisingly easy for me to resist! I ate my apple that I had packed, which is key for me, my gym bag that I take everywhere is packed with healthy, whole30 approved food. Dinner at the hall again tonight, should be interesting!

Jerk Flank Steak
ReplyDeleteSteak for breakfast?!?! Mmmmm....steak for breakfast! Prepare the night before for a grab and go breakfast.
! lb flank steak
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp allspice
1/2 tbsp coriander
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1-2 limes(about 3-4 tbsp)
fresh ground pepper
Combine all ingredients except steak in a bowl and whisk together.
Put flank steak in a big zip loc bag and pour in marinade.
Seal bag and work marinade around so it covers steak.
Place in fridge for a few hours or preferably overnight.
Bring out of fridge 30 minutes before grilling.
Grill on high heat until desired doneness, 5-10 minutes per side.
Let steak rest 5 minutes.
Slice thinly against the grain.
Lasts in the fridge up to 4 days, really good cold the next day!
Afternoon snack was a mandarin & a banana
ReplyDeleteDinner was at an organic, local focused restaurant, I had a free range rib-eye and steamed veggies...so good!
I am surprised that my sugar cravings haven't been too bad...hope it stays this way!
Dinner: pasta sauce, no noodles! Sauce consisted of ground beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomato sauce, spices.
ReplyDeleteGoing to have to pass on the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that one of the guys sisters brought in, I'll eat my apple instead!

Okay! So glad to hear im not the only puffy feeling person! Is that usual? Otherwise my energy was up most of the day a lot less foggy than yesterday.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast; 2scrambled eggs with homemade salsa and half an avacado black coffee
Lunch: baked chicken great with rosemary thyme and fresh squeezed lemon, tomato salad with mixed organic greens
Snack: celery sticks and almond butter
Dinner: grilled bison sausage, roasted zucchinni and tomatoes
I crave sugar at night so I have been eating a piece of fruit instead, seems to help.
I've been sick so haven't been eating much but today or breakast I had:
ReplyDeleteBreak: 2 sunny side eggs, blueberries, black coffee
Lunch: Tomato based chicken soup with carrots and celery
Dinner: Chicken and green salad
snack: Kiwi
I don't know if its that I have been sick or this is my 2nd time doing whole 30 but the start seems way easier. Probably because I have stayed off of dairy and most of the time gluten.
Matt - thanks for the recipe! I'm going on a Flank Steak "hunt" this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I was expecting the worst, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how little I've been craving sugar because like you, Amy, I'm totally addicted to sweets. Mid-afternoon and after dinner are my usual trigger times and I've definitely found having some fruit really helps.
I think I would characterize myself as a "mindless eater", so this challenge has been great so far because it is causing me to be a "thoughtful eater" instead. I'm really thinking about what I'm putting into my body and it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. Hopefully it continues that way...
Breakfast: scrambled eggs and an orange
Lunch: Tuna salad on romaine lettuce with almonds, celery, red/yellow peppers, tomato and green onion (I even tried making this paleo mayo - not great, but not terrible either). Blueberries and blackberries.
Snack: small piece of smoked salmon, some almonds, celery, kiwi.
Dinner: Stirfry chicken, salad, and a yam/onion dish - Went to a friend's house for dinner and she offered to make a full paleo dinner for us! So yummy!
