Well I’ve officially completed week one of the Whole 30 program! I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it so far. There were a couple of times I felt like throwing in the towel, but overall it hasn’t been too hard. The first few days I was extremely tired and had almost no energy, but by the end of the week I was feeling great! One day I did get super lightheaded which I think is because I wasn’t eating enough calories. Since week one was kind of a learning experience, I feel much more prepared going into week two. Here is my meal plan for this week:
Breakfasts: Trader Joe’s Chicken Sausage, Eggs, and Strawberries/Raspberries
Lunches: Butternut Squash, Kale, and Quinoa Stew – I am subbing cauliflower “rice” for the quinoa
Snacks: Apples with Cashew Butter, Red Pepper with Guacamole, and Larabars
Dinners:
Sunday 3/1 – Zoodles with Bolognese Sauce (I added spinach in place of the zucchini in the sauce)
Monday 3/2 – Taco Salads with Shredded Salsa Chicken, Homemade Salsa, and Avocado
Tuesday 3/3 – Bible Study night – Leftovers from Sunday or Monday for me, Chipotle for Kevin
Wednesday 3/4 – Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew
Thursday 3/5 – Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes with Shredded Chicken and Broccoli
Friday 3/6 – Out for dinner
Saturday 3/7 – Out for dinner
This past week we went out for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights like we usually do and I was still able to follow the plan. Friday I had a burger with no bun or cheese and Saturday I had scallops. I didn’t feel deprived either night so I call that a success! 🙂
