When Courtney mentioned a weekly check in link up I was totally in! I want to know how everyone did because honestly it's been a little tough for me. Here's some random thoughts from week one:
• I miss the foodie things I do with my kids.
• I've already been thinking about what I'm going to add back to my diet and what I'm going to leave out. PALEO PANCAKES.
• I miss paleo pancakes.
• If I had to give up coffee I don't think I could do the Whole30. I'm keeping coffee minimal and before noon.
• I haven't been focusing on the gym very much. I think that's ok because I'm really focused on what I'm eating right now.
• I feel great. I usually have a down week once a month... You know... and that is this coming week so we'll see how it goes!
Breakfast:
Still loving this mix. Three eggs, broccoli, peppers, and onions cooked in ghee.
Lunch:
I snacked on a few almonds while I made lunch. I had them out to soak to make almond milk. I didn't eat too many amazingly. My will power is getting much better!
I reheated those chicken meatballs, cauliflower rice, and sautéed cabbage. Cabbage gets old... really quick... and I have so much cabbage. Blah.
Dinner:
Beef, broccoli, carrots, and bok choy with sunshine sauce on top.
Exercise:
No gym today. I had to take the dogs to the vet.
How I feel:
Another great day! I didn't even have an afternoon lull.

We made it through week 1! Yay us! The chicken meatballs look fabulous. I need to put those on our list for sure. I know Violet would love them too.
My kids like them! They are simple... My kids don't like anything with crazy spices :)
Yum, yum! Amazingly I'm finding that "the down week" is easier. I really think the hunger and fatigue I was feeling this weekend was cycle related since yesterday was day 1. (Sorry if TMI lol).
ANY-WHO!
I totally want to add in paleo pancakes after this too. And really, if it turns out I'm not sensitive to dairy I want my plain Greek yogurt again. And green smoothies. lol. Nothing crazy, I'm feeling awesome and I don't want to jack that up, but a little more leeway will be good too.
I have got to try this sunshine sauce, I've seen it everywhere and I think it's time to try new stuff. I find that week 2 is my tough week, week one I'm all set and everything is great then week 2 I want my old 'paleo pancakes' etc back. Week 2 hasn't started off so great so I'm hoping I can refire today and tomorrow!
Oh me too...I want plain greek yoghurt back in...but I don't think I can stomach it (I had a mishap a month ago).
You're right--giving up coffee would be brutal. ;) With so much cabbage, maybe try roasting it. I had never thought to roast cabbage before, but I ended up loving it!! You roast a whole wedge, and use it as a salad base, or roast it with other veggies in a mix.
That's a great idea. I've only ever sautéed it. One person cannot eat a whole head of cabbage! :)
GIRL! You have to try sunshine sauce. So good. You'll be back on track this week. You had all odds against you and you stuck with it!
I agree with you Tiffany. I feel great and can tell I'm already losing some weight. I'm not sure if I want to mess all that up. That's what my down week is from by the way. Gotta get through the chocolate cravings :(
Congrats on making it through Week 1! That was the hardest part for me. :) I don't know about giving up coffee either...I gave up my creamer and sweetener and I probably wouldn't even like it now.
Yay for one week down! That Sunshine sauce looks amazing. I have found that I've been eating too much red meat and not enough Chicken. I may try those meatballs with some ground turkey I have, they look good! Here is to another successful week!
You are doing amazing! Congrats on getting through your first week. I bet that will be the hardest week! Easy from here :)
Yay for your first week down -- I have one day down! haha I need to try the Sunshine sauce -- I still haven't done that!
