What I Ate on Whole30 – Week 2

I’m two weeks in to Whole30 and I am going strong! Overall, I’m feeling great and still motivated to kick butt at this. I’m still documenting all of my meals, and of course I have to post them. If you missed, last week’s post, I encourage you to check it out!

Thoughts from the week:

  • I still feel very focused on it, and I am not struggling at all as a whole. Yes, there are days where I want carbs and sweets. Most of the time I’ll eat fruit or a few nuts or something.
  • This week, I tried to add in more vegetables and I think I did a decent job. I’ve said it before, but Greg and I aren’t huge meat eaters, so this has probably the biggest adjustment.
  • I’m not sick of eggs. I actually ate eggs and egg whites all the time before Whole30.
  • I’ve used my food processor more in the last two weeks than I did in the last year.
  • I made some Whole30 mayo and it turned out great! Granted, we don’t really eat a lot of mayo. I made it for a potato salad, and I loved it.
  • I’m not hungry and I’ve stopped thinking about food.
  • This way of eating is becoming more natural and automatic to me.

Now, let’s get into what I ate the past seven days. Exciting times, people! And, of course, you get bad cell phone quality photos. I do not have time to whip out the DSLR and set up perfect lighting for these pics (even though I do love a well-lit photo… hahaha), so this is what you get.

Day 8

what I ate on Whole30 day 8

Breakfast: Eggs with pineapple, raspberries and strawberries, coffee with coconut milk
Lunch: Spinach salad, baby carrots with baba ganoush, grapes and mandarin oranges
Dinner: Buffalo chicken soup, Misty’s recipe

Day 9

what I ate on Whole30 day 9

Breakfast: Chia seed pudding, hard boiled egg, banana
Lunch: Tuna salad (canned tuna with half an avocado, dill, garlic powder, and lemon juice) atop a spinach salad
Dinner: Smoked sausage, cauliflower mash, potato salad (I made this recipe up and it turned out yummy!), mandarin orange

Day 10

what I ate on Whole30 day 10

Breakfast: Eggs with homemade salsa, mandarin orange, chia seed pudding with cinnamon and blueberries
Lunch: Leftover buffalo chicken soup
Dinner:  Thai turkey meatballs atop zoodles and shredded carrots (I have this spiralizer and it’s amazing!)

Day 11

what I ate on Whole30 day 11

Breakfast: Eggs with homemade salsa, grapes, mandarins, chia seed pudding with cinnamon and blueberries
Lunch: Plantain chips, mashed avocado with lemon juice and garlic powder,  mandarin orange, apple
Dinner: Homemade smoked pork, cauliflower mash, green beans, roasted sweet potatoes

Day 12

what I ate on Whole30 day 12

Breakfast: Egg muffins (prepped with turkey breakfast sausage and green/red bell pepper)
Lunch: Leftover thai turkey meatballs (I ate all the meatballs before I remembered to take a picture, haha)
Dinner: Went out to dinner with friends, got a compliant salad (don’t have a photo)

Day 13

what I ate on Whole30 day 13

Breakfast: Egg muffins, chia seed pudding with raspberries and cinnamon, coffee with coconut milk
Lunch: Big spinach salad with banana
Dinner: Beef stew with spinach salad

Day 14

 

whole30-day-14

Breakfast: Egg muffins, chia seed pudding with blueberries, coffee with coconut milk and cinnamon
Lunch: Leftover beef stew
Dinner: Homemade smoked turkey, roasted potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower mash

I’m hoping to try even more new things next week! Looking forward to pushing through and having another great week!

      I know, this is crazy! That’s been the biggest adjustment for me. I’ve been realizing that I was eating a LOT of beans and quinoa. Not that those things are bad, but maybe I needed to switch things up.

    Honestly Whole 30 makes the most sense to me because it’s so “easy” to know what to eat… basically nothing! Ha, I kid… I kid. I am back on Whole 30 again and LOVE the paleo mayo I found on Amazon instead of making my own. I could probably eat the entire jar. I also searched whole 30 in food on Amazon and found a set of these dressings that is really helping me. Balsamic, ketchup, etc. All whole 30 approved!!

    I feel you on the meat… it’s the part I struggle with too. I feel like I’m eating two dinners a day sometimes. I actually thought about finding another way to get my protein in via the vegetarian whole 30, but they caution that it isn’t the same as a whole 30… but an adaptation.

    My goal for next week is less sweet and regular potatoes.

    I wish I saw this buffalo chicken soup recipe before I just froze all of the bone broth I made yesterday in 1 cup and ice cube quantities!

      Yeah, I looked at the vegetarian whole30. It sounds interesting but definitely not the same. I think after we’re done, we will probably add back in beans and quinoa as a protein source to break up the meat, but I really love the fresh, good food we’re eating! Def try that soup if you get a chance!!

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
