What I Ate on Whole30 – Week 3

  • FACEBOOK 12

  • EMAIL

Here we are, folks. I’ve got 8 days left of Whole30. It’s blown by, but at the same time it’s felt like forever….. Haha!

I looked through all of my photos from this past week, and there were just lots and lots of repeats. I still take photos of every meal to help myself. However, to keep it simple and easy for you all that have been keeping up, I am going to talk about the new things that I ate this week. Honestly, I think we know by now that I eat a lot of eggs, chia seed pudding (1 can coconut milk with 1/4 cup chia seeds in a mason jar overnight), tuna salad with avocado, meat, cauliflower mash, and veggies. Do y’all really want to see that again? Didn’t think so. If you’ve missed the past two recaps and want to see all that stuff, you can check them out here:

What I Ate on Whole30 – Week 1 // What I Ate on Whole30- Week 2

Thoughts from This Week:

  • It’s becoming very automatic for me. No need to redirect my thinking on what I should or should not eat. I have this all on lock down, from the prepping, to the grocery shopping, to the cooking.
  • I don’t really have any cravings. Yes, Greg and I are greatly looking forward to pizza when this is all said and done with, but I think this has been a great experience for me to know that yes, I can actually live without carbs and not be hungry.
  • I tried on some jeans that I wore in college and they fit! (By the way, I graduated from college 10 years ago this year, y’all. I’m old.) Still haven’t weighed or measured myself but I am feeling better and fitting in my clothes better.
  • I was so excited that I hadn’t gotten any headaches or migraines on Whole30, but I did get a migraine yesterday. It wasn’t as debilitating as my usual ones, and I was able to kick it completely by mid-afternoon.
  • Still loving coconut milk.
  • Not tired of eggs. I used to eat egg whites almost every day anyway.
  • Frank’s Red Hot Sauce was a winner this week. You’ll see below with all the buffalo chicken recipes.

And now, here are the new meals we tried!

Whole30 Egg Salad
Egg Salad // I know this isn’t exactly life-altering new. It’s an egg salad. But I made a compliant egg salad for the first time, so I’m documenting it, gosh darn it. And I said I would talk about new things I ate. OKAY?! I used homemade mayo, mustard, chives, dill, and cut up dill pickles.

Whole30 Salmon and Veggies

Salmon and Veggies // This isn’t mind boggling, either. My goodness, I’m a snooze fest already. But it was the first time we’ve had fish all month. I’m kind of sad we haven’t eaten more. We live about 20 minutes away from an amazing fish market but haven’t had the chance to hit it up yet. My mom brought a huge amount of fresh wild caught salmon over and Greg grilled it on a cedar plank. It was delicious!

Whole30 Bullritos Salad Bowl

Bullritos Salad Bowl // I grabbed lunch on the way to work on Tuesday, after shooting some photos with Michelle. I hit up Bullritos, which is a local chain similar to Chipotle and the like. I got this bowl with grilled chicken, salsa, lettuce, guacamole, onions, peppers, and pico de gallo. It was yummy! So if you’re a total #basic and OMGlove Chipotle, you can get your fix on Whole30.

Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats
Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats // We tried this recipe and oh sweet goodness, it’s a winner. I’m pretty sure we scarfed it down in seconds. I made it without the almond meal (didn’t have any on hand), and it was amazing and didn’t think it was needed. It actually inspired this next dish because the filling is so dang good.

Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Salad
Buffalo Chicken Salad // I wanted to do a fun salad. Like I said above, this was inspired by the filling for those zucchini boats. I took 1 pound of chicken breasts and let them cook in the slow cooker on low for about 5-6 hours. Shredded the chicken, added homemade mayo, Frank’s Red Hot, dried chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. SO GOOOOOOOOD. We made another batch so Greg could take it to work for lunches.

Whole30 Chicken Soup
A Chicken Soup I Made Up // I wanted to make another chicken tortilla soup (without the tortillas, obvi), but it seems as if there is a yellow squash shortage in my local grocers. (I don’t know why, but that just made me laugh.) I have no idea what brought about such a shortage, but it is cramping my style. A random chicken soup made its way into the crock pot instead. 1 pound of chicken, celery, carrots, Ro-tel, green chiles, and vegetable broth. Topped with avocado in an attempt to make it feel more “Mexican.” It was totally a white girl trying too hard soup, but it was good, so I’ll take it.

Ta da! I think next week I will skip my meal and recap, and then just give you guys a full before and after that next Monday (Feb 1). complete with mug shots of yours truly. I plan on giving my overall thoughts, where I want to go from here, and recapping my favorite meals ever from the month. Y’all okay with that? I sense you nodding your head in agreement.

Happy Friday, friends!

    I hear you with the repeats. I’ve learned what I like now, and am actually going to be saying the exact same thing when I re-cap my second week. Also, leftovers FTW.

    I didn’t try Whole30, but tried Paleo in college but I can’t do without dairy. Good job for you being almost done! And double congrats on the college jeans!

    Yum this all looks so good! Ugh, I failed my Whole 30 🙁 I got the stomach flu last week and spent Tuesday in bed with a fever. All I could stomach were rice crackers, and then I lived on chicken & rice soup for three days. Sad panda now. I’m hoping to still continue with my paleo spree for the rest of the month and those zucchini boats have been on my list for awhile. They look similar to the sweet potato ones and they are also the yummiest!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been worki I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been working on restoring the after affects of my postpartum hair loss. I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!

Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing a Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing and hand sanitizing this past year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ That would be all of us. 😅 #DovePartner I know your hands are probably dry and angry and the rest of your body could use some moisture during the winter months. @krogerco has an amazing selection of personal care and beauty products that can help you be your best self this year. I’ve been loving the new @dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - it kills germs and actually feels moisturizing! And, of course, the Deep Moisture Body Wash is an old favorite of mine - great for the winter months or just for all the extra washing we’re having to do right now. Save time by adding Beauty and Personal Care products to your Kroger shopping cart, and your dry skin will thank you later. #UnileverPartner #UnileveratKroger #KrogerBestofBeauty
How we feel during yet another unprecedented event How we feel during yet another unprecedented event🤪 This Texas winter storm was wild, and completely heartbreaking to witness. It’s been a very hard week, and we are some of the lucky ones! Going without power for 3 days was not fun, but we’re very thankful we do not have any damage or burst pipes. 

So many people have quickly responded and been so generous. Neighbors helping each other, kindness from grocery stores and restaurants, and help from people out of state has really made me proud. We will get through this 💪🏻

I’m sharing a bunch of resources in my stories, and I’m saving it all to a “HELP TEXAS” highlight. Feel free to share it or reference it!

Why does nothing surprise me anymore? 😂 We clearly don’t know how to deal and a lot of people were without power today (us included). Had to post this pic of the kids before Logan decided he was over it. His first snow, and he was not a fan. 😂 Hope all of my Texas friends are staying warm!

I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum hair loss stinks! Even though I’m 1.5 years out from having a baby, I am still experiencing after effects. My hairline is still thin, and I’ve got a lot of baby hairs I’d like to grow faster. To help speed things along, I’m starting a “hair glow up” challenge with @bondiboost products. First product I want to mention is the Hair Growth Support Supplement. This product and their anti hair-loss support supplement are scientifically formulated to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. The Hair Growth Support Supplement contains awesome ingredients like zinc, silicon, biotin, and ascorbic acid to support the maintenance of healthy hair. Can’t wait to see what it’ll do for my baby hairs! [sponsored] #BondiBoost #BoostYourRoots
If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of the ways you like to keep your hair healthy? Here are some of the things I do:

▪️ Stretch my color sessions every 3-4 months. I know bleach and color services can weaken hair, so I like a lived-in rooted blonde that looks awesome as it grows out.
▪️ Air dry my hair after washing and use hot tools sparingly.
▪️ Use color-safe products at home.
▪️ Most recently, I've started incorporating the new @redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate line.

This new launch from Redken is exciting, as I am a big fan of the brand (I go to a Redken salon and find that their color is the best of all I've tried). The Acidic Bonding Concentrate range is specifically formulated with an acidic pH to defend against the negative effect of hair coloring, styling tools, and even water - to bring hair back into a healthy pH range. In trials, these products were shown to provide a 56% reduction of breakage, 11X smoother hair, 88% reduction of visual split ends, color fade protection, and ultimate conditioning. Say what? Sign me up! 

After the short amount of time I've used these products, I've felt that my hair feels stronger, smoother, and less brittle at the ends. I can't wait to see what prolonged use will do! #redkenpartner #redkenready #acidicbondingconcentrate
