Whole30 #3 – Day 30

Whole30-3-Day30

I feel like I should have eaten something more exciting – gone out of Whole30 with a bang, somehow. Of course, I didn’t think about adding flash or sparkle to my day until *after* I’d heated lunch and sat down to scarf leftovers before completing a few rows of knitting.

Breakfast

My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.

Lunch

The last of my leftover Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls with the one lonely leftover pork rind crusted chicken tender languishing in my Tupperware containers.

Dinner

Dinner was at least kind of exciting. I remember last Whole30 craving salsa like it was going out of style – this time, not so much. Luckily, I had the ingredients for a lazy Mexican bowl/pretty much paleo nachos minus the crunch on hand (you know, just in case I was stranded during the blizzard-that-wasn’t, or in case the Super Bowl thing we’re going to was lame and full of crap I don’t want to eat).

Snack

No real snacks, but I had a coconut water at yoga class.

More Whole30 goodness.

Dinner

The hubby had a late lunch and didn’t care – and I wanted to make sure to have time for a workout before leaving for the show we were going to see, so I just made the protein portion of dinner – pork rind crusted chicken tenders. Despite the pork rinds being a bit chewy in spots, this was everything I had hoped it would be. I need more pork rinds.

Snack

Midday slump sunflower seeds + Starbucks Pike Place Roast with homemade almond milk on the way to the train. I did *not* have the first cocktail on this list – pout – even though it’s siren song was calling my name.

Whole30-3-Day27

I think I might be in love with the pork I had for lunch, and I’m going to be sad when it runs out. Dinner wasn’t too shabby, either.

Breakfast

My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.

Snack

Sunflower seeds – again – because soooooooomebody (me) didn’t check the label on the roasted cashews I bought and they were tossed in bran oil.

More Whole30 goodness.

Whole 30 #3 Week 3: What We Ate

Whole30-3-First

This month, I’m doing my Third Whole 30 – and this time, I’ve got reinforcements in the form of a few Nerd Fitness friends who are taking the plunge and committing to starting 2015 out on the right foot with me. Let’s take a look at a few of this week’s highlights! everyone ate this week!

 

kweber05 traveled this week, and kept on track with the help of snacks

She and I both went down the delicious pulled pork + cabbage route:

Fonzico made a delicious looking Chicken “Alfredo” made with zoodles and cauliflower cream sauce (basically pureed cauli, chicken broth, a little coconut milk and looooots of garlic), which I may have to copy.

I made Meatzas

And some resounding success meals out on the town

Week 3 turned out pretty good. One of us braved travel, another braved a Birthday, and the third dealt with being sick. And we all succeeded. Win-Win-Win. All the Win.
