The Whole 30: Week 2 Recipes and Review!

Well, I do have to say. 

This week was so much easier! 

I definitely did not think anything of the 10th or 11th day {which are rumored to be the worst days}.

It went by so much quicker, and I can actually see us making a lifestyle out of this eating!

Here's what I've found. 

1. I like almond milk more than reg. milk.

2. I think we'll be eating noodles and things of that nature sometimes, but I can really see how they're not so needed!

3. I do miss sweets. But only baking them and such. Not so much the candy. Which is awesome! 

So, let's get on with this!

The Whole 30

Week 2

Day 8

Feelin' pretty darn good! No cravings!

Breakfast:  Watermelon. I'm obsessed!

Lunch: A sweet potato. Sometimes, simple is best. 

Snack: An apple cut into slices.

Dinner: Pulled pork with an egg on top

Day 9

This is where I start feeling way less hungry. I find myself eating less, drinking more water, and getting fuller quicker throughout my meal.

Breakfast: Watermelon.

Lunch: Scrambled eggs with bacon and shredded chicken.

Snack: Fruit bowl.

Dinner: Banana. No dinner, oops! I wasn't quite hungry until around 10pm, and then I felt it was too late to eat anything big!

Day 10

Excited that I found one of our recipes that we have regularly that works with the Whole 30!

Breakfast: Watermelon!

Lunch: Chicken fajitas.

Snack: No snack.

Dinner: Chicken fajitas with scrambled eggs.

Day 11

I love having salads. They're so refreshing to me. The only thing I want back is crunchy things to put in my salad, and regular salad dressing!

Breakfast: No breakfast! We woke up late.

Lunch: A huge salad with veggies and clean dressing. 

Snack: Apple Pie Larabar. 

Dinner: Taco salad. A huge salad with turkey taco meat on top!

Day 12

The bison burgers were so dang good! I was craving pickles and tater tots. Not together. But this did the trick for the cravings!

Breakfast: Watermelon.

Lunch: Salad. 

Snack: No snack.

Dinner: Bison burgers with crunchy potatoes.

Day 13

The stir fry is from the Whole 30 recipe line. I'm sure you can look it up online. It was so dang good. And this was my first time making shrimp. Holla!

Breakfast: No breakfast. We woke up late!

Lunch: Shrimp and chicken stir fry.

Snack: No snack!

Dinner: A burger at red robin! {wrapped in lettuce, no cheese, no mayo}.

Day 14

I'm lovin' fruit these days! I'm finding that I'm craving watermelon more than anything. Hardly anymore candy cravings or anything of that nature. But the watermelons I've been picking out at the store have been hitting the spot!

Breakfast: Eggs with bacon!

Lunch: Fruit bowl. I just wasn't that hungry!

Snack: Blueberry Muffin Larabar.

Dinner: Hashbrown omelette {adapted from the Tasty page on Facebook. Just without cheese! We didn't miss it anyways}.

Just a couple notes from the week!

1. The smoked pulled pork that I bought for us was from Costco. And let me say, I've never tasted anything worse. {well I'm sure I have, but this was pretty bad}.

2. I think it's really important to allow yourself a snack! I know they say in the book to cut down on snacking, but that will happen naturally as the cravings go away and your body realizes that it's getting all the nutrients it needs. So for now, don't worry about it!

3. And speaking on that, I have been eating way less! And not even on purpose. I'm just not as hungry as I used to be. That's a plus in this mama's mind :)
