Whole30/Sugar Detox/AIP Journey - Day 30- (What I ate for the day)

Last day of Whole30/Sugar Detox!

What does that mean? NOTHING!  I'm just going to keep going.  As I said at the beginning this is how I usually eat with a few treats here and there.

So what happened today on the "last" day?  Not much different than the usual.  First it's my day off, but I was still up with D's alarm and taking care of the animals.  Today was going to be a "wing it" kind of day.  We were getting a door repaired and had to wait for the call between 8 and 10 as to when they would be out.


I decided to have a decaf coffee at home with cinnamon and coconut milk along with my shake.  No it's not "Whole30" compliant but doesn't have anything nasty in it and it's an experiment to how I feel  with a shake at breakfast.  Maybe there will be a point I will do it after a workout or for lunch. We'll see!

I decided to not wait around since I needed to get a covered litter box and a few things from Better Health since they were having a sale on protein powder.  I got the call while I was shopping and I had time since he wasn't coming until the afternoon.

Gym time!

Treadmill warm up with usual up to 14%

Gluten kickbacks  4 sets 100#
Side lunges 4 sets
Abductor 115#, 130# 145# 160#
Adductor 110#, 130#, 160# 180#
Leg Curls 4 sets single leg 40# double 85# (squats in between)
L Raises 10# (light I know)
Push Press 20#
Pull Overs 35#
Single leg deadlift 35#
Push Ups
Starting with the L Raises I did ab work in between sets.

After that I decided to get milk for work so I had to stop at two Kroger and clean them out of almond milk!  Kinda frustrating when that is the best frothing almond milk around.  Of course it was nice there was a Starbucks right next store!  I have been loving the macchiato's lately!  I know I was cheating on work but it was right there.  How could I not?


COFFEE!!!


I was starving by the time I got home and needed lunch stat!  My Real Plans lunch was PaleOMG's "My New Go-To Meal"  I did change it up slightly.  I used a chicken sausage, no bacon and I added cabbage.  This was seriously good!  On a down note I had horrible bloating!  Ugh, those dang brussels!  I'm giving them up for a while after what I have are gone.  At least for a month to see how I do.

I had enough time to do some things around the house while the door guy was doing his repair.  He left at the perfect time so I was able to run the stuff I picked up earlier to work.  When I got back it was time to meditate and then feed the animals.  This guy, Felix, needs to work on being self sufficient. I have to get him to eat and go to the bathroom cause otherwise he lays around all day.


Food must be put in front of him or he won't ask to eat!  I don't have that problem.


He loves to stretch!


Noises from puppies have sparked his attention.


I prepped dinner earlier so all I needed to do was pop it into the oven.  It was going to take over an hour to bake.  Again, another Juli Bauer recipe!  Bacon Chorizo Chipotle Smothered Meatloaf.  This was unbelievably fantastic!  I didn't have the chipotle though.  Maybe with some of the leftover I will try it.


My piece came apart after I put D's on his plate.  I gave him carbs - mashed potatoes and peas.  I had sautéed cabbage and green onions.  He also asked for a grilled cheese after.  I scaled the recipe to feed 2 instead of 4.  There was still a pound of meat but so many vegetables!  So I guess you could say we each had half a serving.  I can see why he wanted more to eat!

Tomorrow morning will be early again.  D has to be to work at 7am and I have to pick up milk for work as soon as I get the email it's ready.  Then I will relax and do yoga.  Also, the vet is coming over in the afternoon to check out Felix and update Jack on a vaccine.

Whole30/Sugar Detox/AIP Journey - Day 22 (What I ate for the day)

Day 22 and what I ate!

Be warned!  It is not perfect Whole30/Sugar Detox.... that being said this is based on my functional MD's recommendations.  Since my labs are not where I want them to be I am determined but vowed not to be stressed about it!

After yoga instead of my coffee I had hot water with lemon and sea salt.  I would have coffee later once I got to work.  I am waiting on my protein powder to be shipped and may only have it a few times a week, but it does have a lot of vitamins an minerals I need.  So I had this Paleo protein powder that I mixed with a whole avocado and some coconut milk.


Work was pretty slow so I needed up doing an inventory and a few other things that so I didn't need to go in on my day off later this week.

I ate my lunch between 10:30 and 11am.


From Real Plans I made AIP Meatloaf and OMG it was so good!  It is loaded with a ton of veggies!  Zucchini, carrots and onions.  So happy I have 3 more pieces to enjoy this week!  I paired it with brussels and spaghetti squash with sea salt and coarse ground black pepper.  Can I say again how good it was?!  I did add a little bit of mayo too.  I was also good and drank water, which I have been lacking on.



I thought I would showcase the double decker grilled cheese I make at work.  Doesn't it look fabulous!  I'm seriously going to make some AIP cheese and make myself one this week!  If you are near Birmingham stop by (Birmingham Roast) and have one!  We have gluten free bread that is locally made too from Celiac Specialties in Rochester!

I got out of work a bit late but as soon as I got home I sat down to meditate for 30 minutes.  It feels good to get back into it.  I'm committed to those 30 minutes no matter what.  After I sat down to look at my DoTERRA oils to see what could benefit me and my digestion.  I have a few I may try.

I got word from D that he was going to be a bit late, so I held off and had dinner ready for 6:30.


Tonight's dinner was a burger with sautéed mushroom (coconut oil) with a fried egg.  I paired it with some greens and on the side roasted cauliflower, asparagus and green beans.  After I snapped this picture I decided to top it with Sir Kensington's mayo.  I think it was a mayo kinda day!

Now to more relaxing and some dandelion tea.  Until day 23!

Whole30/Sugar Detox/AIP Journey - Day 16!

Ah, Wednesday morning! My day off, I should be sleeping in.

It started with the cat jumping on the bed and my phone flying behind the bed.  Needless to say I had a hard time digging it out.  But she got what she wanted, me out of bed!  It was 6:30, perfect for coffee but still too early to be up when I didn't need to be.

I had my collagen coffee.  I think this is going to be my thing in the morning.  I need to get more collagen because of my hip and just because it's good for me.  I had some Kettle & Fire bone broth, an excellent source for collagen.  I also would got some Epic bone broth, since Whole Foods had it on sale.

The usual routine followed and I got ready to head out to the gym.


She's cute and oh so dang sassy!


Treadmill warm up before lifting.  I go for 20 minutes and usually max out the incline at 14%


It's too bad you can't see it but I'm up to 100# on gluten kickbacks and I think I can go higher next week, if my hip cooperates!  I finished my workout which was gluten and hamstring focused and headed to Whole Foods to pick up a few items I missed from my meal prepping.  I needed more vegetables since I knew I would run out and chicken breasts.  I checked for sriracha brussel sprouts and they had zero!  WHAT?!?  It was too early for the hot bar, so no Nom Nom Paleo brussels either. It was fine anyway.  I would be going home to make soup for lunch and Whole Foods is a mile from my house.


Kettle & Fire bone broth!  I was excited to try the Mushroom & Chicken in my soup.  It certainly delivered.  It's thicker than stock, as it should be.  The depth of flavor is phenomenal.  I know why people are drinking it straight!


Pork, bok choy and mushrooms (and onion).  The recipe called for kale but I thought the bok choy would taste better.  After lunch I had a massage scheduled at Massage Envy.  It was my first time going and honestly I was hooked!  I loved the massage therapist, she was wonderful.  Her technique for massage was so different from any other massage I've had.  I've been wanting to get monthly massages anyway so this was perfect.  D did great for that Christmas gift.  I stopped at Starbucks after for a coffee and Vitamin Shoppe for some turmeric.  I'm also on the hunt for a desk as I build my home office and having a hard time finding what I want, but hopefully soon!


I promised the pups I would take them to the park down the street to run around after my errands.  They didn't do much.  Jack did fall a few times on some slick spots but it didn't stop him at all.

After we got back I finished my coffee I got earlier and did some cleaning around the house and prepped my lamb for dinner.  I'm glad I looked at my recipe because it needed an hour to marinate in the olive oil, rosemary, garlic mix.  So while that marinated I had to run out and do an errand for work.  I really didn't feel like doing it in the morning so I figured before dinner would work.  


Dinner is served!  I seared the lamb on both side for 3 minutes and then threw it in a 375 degree oven for a couple minutes.  It came out perfectly medium rare.  I paired it with some sriracha brussels.  Not Whole Foods but still nice and tasty!

So now to relax because I am tired and extremely sore.

Whole30 Journey Day 15 - Hello AIP!

Well it's Day 15 and technically the half way point.  But I'm starting an AIP version of Whole30/Sugar Detox.  Why do it now?

Well, while I will continue beyond 30 days a sugar detox, I need to be on AIP more than what I have been.  Now it won't be the textbook "AIP" with every elimination, like coffee (it stays).  I will focusing on offending (for me) foods that I eat too much of.  Anyway, my work day began as usual.  Yoga with the big dawg and D needed to be up early too.  So after yoga the house was crazy busy!  I had a collagen coffee and packed up what would be my brunch at work.


I prepped this last night from my Real Plans menu.  It's a sausage, spaghetti squash and mushroom hash (AIP).  I used ground pork instead of sausage.  Such a good dish, it was satisfying and filling.  I ate around 9:30 since when I got to work I had to make a few things and a good chef always taste to make sure everything is seasoned well.  I only had a bite of chicken and a bite of a spread.  Oh yeah, I had another cup of coffee... I do work at a coffee shop!

The rest of the workday was uneventful.  I got home and wanted to do a workout.  I had a tablespoon of sunflower seed butter and headed downstairs with my laptop.  I tuned into BOD and 80 day Obsession.  It just started yesterday and it wasn't bad.  Today was Total Body Core.  I didn't break a sweat but it was a nice change.  I may try Day 2 tomorrow as my warm up for the gym, maybe.


Once I finished I started to prep dinner.  Dinner was Italian Chicken with cauliflower and broccoli.  I had to cut up some chicken but everything was ready to go into a pan.  So I threw everything in the skillet and cooked up the chicken with onion and celery.  I broke up the cauliflower and placed it in a casserole dish.  I placed the chicken mixture with some seasoning on top of the cauliflower and made a roux with cassava flour, water and coconut milk, re-season and put it on top of the chicken.  I throw it in the oven to finish cooking while I showered.  15 minutes and perfect timing, dinner was done.  Another winner!

I had some more sunflower seed butter before I got rid of the rest.  I can see myself jumping into it every day, somethings I just can't trust myself around specially after it's already open.  I know it's a waste but it's a nut/seed butter and this would be one thing that would throw me off.

Time to wind down.  Until Day 16!

Whole30 Journey - Day 9

Day 9!  Up early!!

D had to be up and I naturally (if I'm not working) will start to wake up around 5 or 5:30.  I must take after my dad!  He has always been an early riser.  I mean I do have HPA Axis Dysfunction (adrenal fatigue).  The Paleo Mom, Sarah Ballantyne, explains it here in Part 1 of her 3 part series.

Everything was as usual, fed the animals and get D out the door.  I fixed my breakfast which was really great today!  I, of course, woke up hungry!


Since I meal prepped breakfast was done quickly.  Loving that!!  I used ground beef (grass fed), cocoa roasted cauliflower, red kale and arugula.  I love wilted greens!  Every green included romaine.  I loved it seared, wilted, warmed, just yummy!

I had errands to run and the gym to go to!  I was out the door by 8:30.  I had to stop at the post office to drop off a few packages then I hit the gym.  The workout was pretty good.  I was able to up my weight on many of my lifts.  From there I had to stop at Whole Foods.  I was hoping to get Nom Nom Paleo's Magic Mushroom powder but they didn't have it in yet.  Said to check back in a few days.  I got my groceries and grabbed a coffee.  Next was Target to refill a prescription and pick up a couple birthday cards and a couple tank tops.  And then I had to go to the mall to pick up a birthday gift for my dad.  I checked out Nordstrom but saw nothing.  I knew I would find a shirt at Tommy Bahama, which I did.  It was on the other side of the mall but I didn't mind the walking and drinking my coffee.


Finally, I got home and didn't think I was that hungry until I made lunch.  2 chicken thighs mixed with a small avocado and a few brussels.  It really hit the spot.  Shortly after I felt extremely tired.  I wanted to do some cleaning but had to lie down on the couch for a while.


It's a little dark but big dawg was cuddling with me on the couch.  He's so sweet and loves his momma!  After a little while I felt a bit better, never got to sleep, but felt better.  I made some half car coffee and I got a few things cleaned.  Before I knew it D messaged that he was on his way and needed to reheat dinner.


I reheated the broccoli that I pan steamed.  I broiled the sweet potato that I roasted.  I sliced it up and but a little butter on the sheet pan.  I broiled it for about 10 minutes.  The edges got a little crispy, but I like it that way.  I put half of the Greek Beef Stew from Melissa Joulwan in a skillet to get that warm and reduce the broth so it was nice and thick.  D liked this recipe.  I made it in the Instant Pot and the stew meat came out so tender!  I adjusted the recipe down.  I had just a little over 1 lb of meat.  I didn't want a lot of leftovers (like the chili!).  I did have to drain off some of the liquid since I added to much water to the recipe since I didn't follow the cooking method.  I also replaced the the cinnamon stick with ground and used 2 tbs.

So there was my day.  Oh I do have to say that I was really in the mood to bake some banana bread, which I didn't.  I was looking for something that didn't use egg or any sweeteners.  I didn't really find one yet, so it will probably wait until February anyway.

Next week I may follow Nom Nom Paleo for Whole30 or go with my Real Plans meal plan for AIP and eliminate the sugars, etc from there.

Whole30 Journey - Day 8

Day 8!  It seems like longer.

I knew today was going to be a busy day for me at work.  I might not be cooking a lot but I had enough computer work to keep me busy and some finishing touches to the POS system.

I began my work day as I usually do.  I wake up before my alarm goes off, around 15 minutes.  I get up and let the pups out so I don't get disturb while practicing my yoga.  I've been using the Down Dog app and can customize it for more hamstring opening.  I can't say that my hamstring really feels any better but I know there are other things I need to do to rehab the tendonosis.


The big dawg always next to me during practice.  He is much calmer when I practice in the bedroom versus the living room.  I'm not sure if it's competition with Stryker or not.  After my 30 minute practice the beasties get fed and then I change and get to my breakfast.


I threw the cocoa roasted cauliflower in the skillet with some brussels and bacon.  Add to that some coffee and it was a great breakfast.


I try to limit my use of plastics and the easiest way to bring my lunch to work, specially a stew, is in a mason jar.  I try to repurpose all the glass jars I can.I took the last of the Taj Mahal Chicken with me. I think it tasted even better today that the flavors got to sit together longer.
D told me later that he thought this meal was prison food.  UGH!  Sometimes, ya know!  I'm just glad he ate it and didn't complain like he use to!  Next week I think I'm going to go with Nom Nom Paleo's recipes.  I don't think she meal plans it like Melissa does, but I'm going to give it a try.  I think D will like them a bit more.
The walk home from work was pretty nice, it was the warmest it's been in weeks.  I think it was around 36 and felt like a heat wave!  I certainly felt overdressed, at least I didn't sweat.  Once I got home and fed the animals and did a 20 minute yoga practice.  I decided that I didn't want the beef stew I made tonight, I would save it for tomorrow.  Instead I would make the ahi tuna steaks with veggies.


Ok and bacon.  I pan seared broccoli, asparagus and arugula.  I added some of the sunshine sauce but I wasn't feeling it so I topped it off with some salsa verde instead.  

It's been a long day so I am turning in early!  Until Day 9.

Whole30 Journey - Day 7

Day 7!

Seriously you guys this day was crazy!  I don't even know where the time went, but I accomplished a lot!

I woke up around 6:30.... naturally I'm hungry but damn it I can't eat because I have to get my labs done.  Oh bother! (It snowed overnight!!)  I start to get ready, get the pups and cat fed, put D's lunch together and in his bag.  I'm starting to run behind because I need to run an errand for work and doing it before the bank opens  (they use the loading dock to park!!) so I can unload and get to my appointment.  I debated about having eggs but don't want to overdo it.  I remembered I have complaint mini beef sticks.  So I grab 2 of those, scoop out a whole small avocado and some pea pods, throw on the sea salt, put a lid on it and run out the door.


I did my work errands, went to get my labs and quickly dove into my breakfast.  SO was not enough but I wanted to get to the gym which was the time I wanted to get there, 9am.  
I stopped at Starbucks for a coffee on my way to get lunch at 7Greens.  No worries about it being busy there since they would just be opening when I got there.
I wanted to try something new.  The blake bowl is just so good, but I got the Yoga Girl and got rid of the quinoa, tofu sauce and miso.  I added chorizo and avocado.  It had kale, spinach, carrot, roasted beets, roasted brussel sprouts and I want to say I am missing something else!

I got home with my goods but realized I really needed to take care of all the snow on the driveway and sidewalk.  I put my bag in the kitchen and brought the pups out with me.  I started the snow thrower and was done in 15 minutes.  My hip was hurting, so I probably shouldn't have done it but it had to get done.


What's in the bag?!!?


It wasn't as filling as I hoped, not much protein but it was super tasty!  Loved it.  About 2 hours later I was eating a few strips of bacon.  I started to meal prep as I snacked on my bacon.  It took me a couple hours but they really did fly by.  Before I knew it it was time to finish up what I needed to have dinner ready just in time for D to get home.


I know dinner doesn't look like much but it really was good.  D wasn't a fan but he ate it anyway.  He had broccoli instead of brussels.  The recipe from Melissa Joulwan, of course.  I am following her Whole30 plan from a few years ago.  This one is Taj Mahal Chicken.  It makes 2 to 4 serving - easily 3 good size servings.  D is into how many calories everything is so I plugged the recipe into myfitnesspal and for 3 servings it was 381 calories.  Not too bad at all.

I've been feeling really good following this plan.  I also signed up for Meal Planner and Stupid Easy Paleo for when Whole30/Sugar Detox is over.  I'll still follow the same guidelines anyway.  I don't feel deprived at all so why not?!

Until tomorrow!  I've been on the computer too much this evening.

Whole30 Journey - Day 6

Happy Sunday and Day 6 of the Whole30/Sugar Detox Journey

It was my typical workday.  Yoga when I get up with the Big Dawg Jack!


I decided to go downstairs to practice.  Jack did his usual "burger flip" on the couch.  Love that dog, he can be so super quirky!  When I finished I wasn't hungry so I decided to just have coffee with collagen to start off my day.  It typically happens where I get to work and I'm hungry, fingers crossed I can hold out.


I ended up with a Lara Bar.  I'm glad I took it with me, not the best but it is Whole30 emergency food right.  Ugh!


For lunch which was around 10:30 I revisited my tuna avocado salad from last week.  Sir Kensington's mayo, a can of tuna, just under a half a avocado, some red onion and a roma tomato.  I also had a piece of bacon.

Once I got home I had a tablespoon of coconut manna before taking the dogs for a quick walk.  It's still pretty cold and the dogs didn't want to be out.  They kept lifting their paws.  I had a little prep work to do for work and then D said he was ready for dinner.


Tonight's dinner was a burger topped with bacon, a fried egg and salsa verde.  The veggies I sautéed are tomato, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale and arugula.  I added some salsa to that as well.  It was simple and I think it could've used something more.  If I had meal prepped when I got home the veggies would have been different.  That's ok.  Tomorrow afternoon I will meal prep.

I have to fast tonight from 9pm to 9am, since I have blood work in the morning.  I hate fasting.  I'll be up early with D and won't be able to have coffee, nothing!  I know I will be fine and debating on what to eat after since I have errands to run and the gym to go to.  I guess I'll figure it out tomorrow.  I don't have much else, so until tomorrow!  I should have a lot more to post.

Whole30 Journey - Day 5

Hello Saturday and Day 5 for me!

Going to be a pretty great day today!  I was up at my usual time for a day off on the weekend (7:30).  I got the beasties feed and headed out to get coffee.  D doesn't have cream at home so that's why I typically go out for it.  It was a Dunkin' kinda morning.  It's still super cold out and I didn't feel like going to multiple places today.  Plain black decaf for me (added collagen, sea salt and cinnamon).  Not the best quality but I'll probably get more coffee later.

I got home and the dogs were going nuts for 2 reasons.  Usually they get a sour cream doughnut when I go BUT they were also cleaning up after the cat, since she got sick!  Ugh!  So I had to clean that up before I got to my breakfast.  


I think I under did the amount of food though.  2 slices of sugar free bacon, and leftover vegetables that consisted of red pepper, onions, green beans and wilted down spinach and arugula.  I figured the fat that everything was cooked in would fill me up, but I'm thinking no!  I have a video of it cooking up if you head over to Instagram to see it here.

I headed out to the gym and grocery shopping at Trader Joe's which is conveniently in the same stripmall.  Can't get any easier than that!  I debated several times on picking up a salad there to make it easier but figured I was buying or had everything on hand that I would have spent on one.  So here is what I did when I got home.


I had some leftover ground turkey from D's lunches this week.  So I combined that with the remaining onion, cauliflower and arugula.  I scrambled up an egg for some extra protein.  A little hot sauce on top and an easy Whole30 lunch was ready.

I really didn't do much else after lunch, at least nothing good to talk about (laundry).  

We were suppose to go to dinner with D's family but that was canceled at the last minute.  I had cancelled our previous reservations at Kona Grill but was lucky enough to get another.  It's typically so full we can never get in.  Tonight we were lucky and got in no problem, even with the reservation.


I think I did quite well for eating out on Whole30/Sugar detox.  I got the blackened maki-mahi with green beans and asparagus.  It also came with a grape avocado salsa.  I removed the grapes so it really ended up being guacamole.  

We had a few errands to run after dinner and it's so cold here that I just couldn't keep warm!  We stopped for coffee just before we got home.  It kinda helped but not enough.  I really need to go look for my electric blanket but that would require getting out from underneath my current blanket.  I do need to get ready for work tomorrow so I need to accomplish a few things.

Overall I'm feeling really good.  I'm not hungry in between meals and I have increased my vegetable consumption.  This way of eating is nothing new, but the focus to get back to the roots of good eating can be started at any point.  I said to my mom the other day when I asked her how her eating was going she made the excuse of all the treats in the house.  I said to freeze them, because they are not bad, but she can have some every now and then and not worry about a bunch of them going to waste. I said eating well doesn't have to begin on a magical day in the future.  It just needs to begin with your next bite of food.  Simple right?!  Yes!  

Until tomorrow!

Whole30 Journey - Day 4

Ah Friday, a work day and Day 4 of Whole30/Sugar Detox.  Why both?  Because I don't really follow one in particular, I like a mix of both worlds.  And really, aren't they just the same with a few minor tweaks?!  Some say Lara bars are good, others say they are not.  I did get a couple even though I find that they have too many carbs for me and they are made with nuts.  For emergency hunger situations I figured 1 every now and then is ok.  Days in a row and I face break outs!

So my day began as usual for a workday.  I get up early (4:30am) and immediately jump into 30 minutes of yoga.  The big dawg is always there by my side.  If I stay upstairs he is good and doesn't bump into me.  Today I started upstairs and then came downstairs to finish (he had to go outside) and he just kept running into me.  Oh that big dawg!  I just love him!

Breakfast on this 4th day was the last of my chorizo sausage (insert sad face!), some sriracha brussel sprouts (put smile back on face!), arugula and red pepper all sautéed up together and my swiss water processed decaf from Allegro (with cinnamon).  So much flavor and just so good!


I cleaned up everything, the fur babies were all taken care of and D was going to drive me to work since it was like negative 18 degrees this morning and walking wouldn't be the best!  Though I would walk home since the temperature would be better.


I was having a busy day at work and took the last of my chocolate chili for lunch.  As I was finishing I forgot to document it!  Haha, how else would you know what I had?!  Like I said I was busy and just all over the place (nothing new there).  I didn't even warm it up.  I was taking bites between doing all the things so it kinda got to room temperature which was perfect.

After getting home and taking everyone out, picking up the slight disaster in the living room and feeding them I ate a few bites of coconut manna and did a little more yoga to wind down.  Day 4 of Yoga with Adriene was on the floor and I was having a hard time just sitting/laying there, so I ended the video early.  I should have made myself just do it, I should get credit for doing 90%!  I was also getting hungry and needed to get my dinner going.  D was going to the gym after work so I prepared mine, I didn't want to wait 2 hours.


I broiled some salmon and topped it off with half a avocado and a drizzle of salsa verde.  I had leftover white sweet potato, green beans and asparagus, all of which I placed in the broiler as well and just added salt when finished.  I love simple meals.  It's even better when you prep ahead and can easily throw it together in under 10 minutes!  It was a good amount of vegetables that I hope will keep me satiated for the night (think I will be!).

I don't know if people complain about being hungry while doing a "detox" or not.  I know that I haven't been.... well unless I'm just totally being out of my mind and under eating which for sure has happened.  Probably a lot more in the past than now, another time to go into that!

Until Day 5!
