Whole30/clean eating check-in week 2

[kimberlyb]

Happy Monday!

What does your meal plan look like for the week?

Goals for the week?

Any success or challenges you want to share with the group?

[kimberlyb]

Meal Plan:

M: Almond-crusted tilapia
T: Italian chicken soup
W: Meatloaf muffins
R: Buffalo chicken stuffed peppers
F: Pizza (regular for DH, califlower crust sans cheese for me)

My goal for the week is to stick to the whole30 diet and try to make it to the gym 5x.

Success: I was realy proud of myself for sticking to the diet all weekend at my parent's house. It was my dad's birthday so the house was filled with junk food.

Challenge: Work is going to be crazy for the next two weeks so I'm worried about managing time to make sure the kids are getting what they need while still having time to prep/cook and go to the gym.

Smashed chicken breasts with mango salsa.
Sweet potato chili
Pot Roast
Spaghetti squash with meatballs
Brussels sprout slaw with citrus Asian dressing

My goal is to get my milk supply back up while still eating as clean as I can. Though I'm going to try Gatorade today and I'm pretty sure that isn't clean.

Yesterday I picked up the bag of mini Reese's peanut butter cups and thought about eating some, but I chose to put it back down and eat an orange instead.

I am moving toward the 4 Hour Body/ Slow Carb Diet. I think it will help me with my diarrhea and supply. Basically it is clean eating but you can have beans....no potatoes. Plus you get one cheat day per week...and since my husband is not on board I think that will help both of us tremendously.

Today I am having crispy chicken (nom nom paleo) with tomatoes and broccoli/carrot slaw marinated in moroccan dipping sauce (the clothes make the girl). The hardest thing for me was to not have a beer...there is nothing better than a pint in front of the fire with my hubby on Friday nights.

I haven't heard of it addysmama22! You are like the queen of challenges!

Crispy smashed chicken? I'm about to make that for lunch with spicy mango salsa!

@addysmama22 I did the advocare challenge when DD was eight months old. All the supplements made me incredibly sick. I only lost 3-4lbs so I didn't think it was worth the money. I think its one of those things that either goes really well or it doesn't since I have also known a few people that lost about 10lbs after doing it.

DH is out of town this week so it's just me. Also working more hours this week so going for things that are easy and healthy.
Planning shrimp, spaghetti squash with meatballs, Greek salad, Chipotle.

Hardest part is not boredom snacking when I am alone at night!

[yogini kiki]

[yogini kiki]

Apples or if you have the time and energy pancakes. I made banana pancakes for breakfast today (two bananas, two eggs and some cinnamon) and drizzled almond butter over it. It was delish

[theteno]

I like almond butter on bananas with a little coconut. I've put this in my oatmeal now that I'm trying to increase supply. Still eating whole 30 aside from oatmeal and a beer or two (in the name of supply increase). I just joined the bad yogi army online- Erin Motz Yoga. I did 3 videos and feel pretty good right now Anyone still having trouble with hormones?

I would spend all day cooking if I didn't have to do the cleaning up after.

[kimberlyb]

@cdsenso have you attempted to make whole30 compliant mayo? If so, what recipe did you use? I made my own ghee the other night and it actually turned out

I did once but I don't think I used the right olive oil. I might just splurge and buy it from Primal Kitchen.

Can I get the recipe for those buffalo chicken stuffed peppers and the tilapia? I'm trying to eat healthier dinners that will fill me up and stop all my snacking!

As always, I suck at sticking to any type of diet, so I lurk on here and cheer you guys on! Woo hoo!!!

[cdseno]

kimberlyb did you get the recipe for the stuffed peppers off Pinterest? I saw one yesterday and it looked so good. They were made with a homemade ranch mix and hot sauce. I want to know how yours turn out.

[kimberlyb]

cdseno,I did get the recipe off of Pintrest I'm making it for dinner tonight and will let you know how it turns out. I made meatloaf muffins for dinner last night. They were really good and very easy to make. I made a big batch of spaghetti sauce last week and just used that for topping. thesimplepen.com/italian-meatloaf-paleo-whole30/

[kimberlyb]

cdseno, the peppers were really good!! I used about half of the hot sauce the recipe called for and just added a little more ghee. DH even really liked it. These will definitely be a part of my regular dinner rotation.

[cdseno]

I made tandoori chicken yesterday. It is so good and fairly easy. I got the recipe off Instagram so I took screen shots of it. I used about 8 pieces of bone in chicken and did legs, thighs, and breasts. You can use whatever you like which is nice.
