here’s what I’ll eat for the rest of the day:
larabar, banana, apple, large salad, moose steak, 1 scoop whey,dried fruit & nuts (raisins, walnuts & pecans)

My workplace real food challenge story from yesterday:
So my very overwieght co-worker (who loves any sort of treat in the form of sugar) was walking around the office spreading some sort of news when I got back from lunch yesterday. He comes into my cube and tells the girl right beside me something, that I couldn’t quite make out in his whisper, he walks away then reconsiders and comes back to me, “I would have told you Natalie about the caramel popcorn at my desk that I’m sharing, but I keep seeing you eat all that green stuff so I figured you wouldn’t be interested.” Nice, I’ve made my tiny dent in the office atmosphere.

Breakfast omelet muffin with sausage in it.
Coffee
Water lots of it.
Happy birthday scott!!!! Enjoy your day.

@ Tania
Is the meeting tonight an actual ‘meeting’ with someone speaking to the group or is more of a one on one type thing?
January 20, 2010 at 10:14 am
Good morning! SO I have been going on about how I have just been feeling great for the last three carbless weeks – well all of a sudden I am HUNGRY!!! Not craving per se, just HUNGRY! What’s up?
Breakfast: 2 pieces bacon, smoothie with frozen coconut milk, blueberries, protein powder
Lunch: chicken breast, spinach salad
snack: celery with almond butter
Dinner: Had chicken wings instead last night, so tonight is the pork
(good grief, I love those chicken wings)
Can’t wait to try Mandy’s “breakfast cereal” and Bacon wrapped bananas!
January 20, 2010 at 10:39 am
@Motha aka. Mandy
the meeting tonight is very informal, kind of a Q&A or office hours type thing. I was planning on printing the last 3 days of posts and commenting on them and answering questions. Feel free to drop and leave whenever is convenient for you.

@natalie g
Nice! I love it.
January 20, 2010 at 10:40 am
Juiced kale, carrots, garlic, ginger, broccoli…plus fish oil & whey shake & glutamine….on a side note had ground elk fried with mushrooms and onions last night wrapped in lettuce leaf definately recommemd.

@Kelly P.
Could be a few different things:
(a) you might just not be eating enough
(b) too many liquid meals – a smoothie or shake will never make you feel as full as real solid food
(c) not enough fat – eating fat (good fat) will make you feel more full
(d) it could be that your blood sugar is still in the process of regulating itself and that you’re in that transitional phase still…
January 20, 2010 at 10:48 am
Breakfast:
3 eggs 5 whites…2 oz `lean back bacon’…2 cups of broccoli cauliflower red pepper, 2 tbs fish oil……

Concur with everything Turbo said.
Also, add some protein to that snack.
January 20, 2010 at 11:11 am
@ Turbo – thanks for the feedback! I definitely will watch protein and fats.
I have only had two smoothies in the last three weeks, so I think I am good there…
We’ll see how I feel today.
January 20, 2010 at 11:12 am
P.s. – protein for snack – noted!
January 20, 2010 at 11:30 am

Protein shake with 1/2 banana / raspberries / 1/2 avocado / 2 tbps of Almond butter

Breakfast: at a restaurant again….. 3 eggs, 3 strips bacon, and a fruit bowl (I left all the canned fruit in the bowl and ate only the fresh stuff). Many cups of coffee/spot of milk.
Have to see what lunch will bring….. You guessed it, at a restaurant again!!!

@Kelly P.
I’m thinking three carbless weeks…and this week you’re HONGREE (my way of saying starving for no reason) this may not be the place to point it out but might this coincide with another event that happens every three weeks? (sorry guys!) I’ve been doing paleo for a year now and every three weeks I get hongree and become an actual cavewoman forager in my own kitchen and basically eat little bits of everything in sight (someone please tell me I’m not alone in doing this!). Anyway, this might be what’s going on and I agree with Turbo and MLC…eat more protein and fat and make sure to plan ahead and keep real food snacks within reach.

@ Kimberly
Ba ha ha!!! Well DUH, I never even thought of THAT!!!! Good grief, I forget I am woman. Ha ha ha
I’m shaking my head right now…
Thanks!!!!

Just read the link Turbo posted to Melissa’s whole 30 above, It. Is. Awesome. You must read it! It gets to the point of Why? and to just do it. Also read her answer to someone’s question on the Skinny b*tch diet. Awesome.

Post workout mid morning snack 1/2 patty of lean ground beef, 1/2 cup broccoli, protein shake. Took my Dad to the YMCA to workout. He has never worked out so I thought I could help him out so he wouldn’t feel so lost. I finally see what Chris was talking about, with their nice 30 degree angle pull up bar. I was able to Kip 20 in a row for the first time in my life. Like Chris I also experienced all the muscle heads who were looking at me with an inquizitive stink eye, trying to figure out what exactly I was doing. 100 pull ups in total with 4 sets of hanging leg raises. At noon I ate 6 0z of dry breaded veal and a cup of Szechuan mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, carrots) two dry chicken wings and about 8 glasses of water. Yes, my Dad took me to Marigold’s for the buffet. For sure the first time I have gone to a buffet and didn’t go up for seconds. It’s a whole new me baby!
January 20, 2010 at 2:29 pm
The usual – banana coconut milk protein shake
an a while later spinach omelet with salsa.
Take my fish oil and vitamins then too
January 20, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Rest day today
3/4 cup strawberries and 1/4 cup pineapple with 18 gr of protein. Did go for an hour of walking and stretching. I may be on holidays but Annette is keeping me busy. I love it.
January 20, 2010 at 3:53 pm
spinach salad w/ 3 cut apricots, 3 oz of honey garlic pork sausage and a hand full of pecans. fish oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. Soooo good!
January 20, 2010 at 3:57 pm
@Steve A.
Happy Birthday!

Breakfast: crustless quiche, 1/2 grapefruit, black coffee
Lunch: leftover chicken and veggie stir fry from yesterday with a handful (literally) of almonds
Snack: blueberries, coconut milk and protein powder
Supper: Squash-getti which is spaghetti squash with meatsauce and a salad.

Will have a better supper
Aloha
January 20, 2010 at 6:39 pm
I had 2 hard boiled eggs with 1/2 an avocado
January 20, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Breakfast scrambled eggs (large handful probably about 3 eggs) 3-4 strips of bacon and about 1 1/2 cups of fruit from the breakfast buffet at a seminar I’m attending here in Banff.
Lunch was fabulous pork / salmon and LOTS of veggies.
PM snack 1/2 protein bar / couple of pcs walnut (oh and 1 Bud Lite Lime)
Not sure what dinner will be but whatever Earl’s Banff has that’s as meat/ veggie as possible (and probably another bud lite lime)
Went to the gym at Banff Centre yesterday pm and did a mini cindy which was about my only option given the space and equipment available. It is so painful to see people trying so hard to do squats on their tiptoes and all kinds of weird stuff! It takes lots of will power to not walk over to these poor people and try to help them out!
January 20, 2010 at 9:31 pm
4oz of pork tenderloin and a spinach salad. ( still in night mode )
January 20, 2010 at 9:58 pm
another protein, blueberry and banana shake before work!
January 20, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Breakfast – ~2 egg portion of a green pepper/onion quiche with a heaping tbs of primal bacon jam.
Early Lunch – chicken breast and spinach salad (with cubed cooked squash, walnuts and some feta…yeah I know, bad Kimberly) dressing is evoo/balsamic.
Late Lunch – same as breakfast and about 2.5 h before heading to the gym
Post WOD protein shake, whey + water, ironically I didn’t have a real food supper bc of the nutrition meeting.
Before bed snack, 1 tbs coconut oil + 1 tbs almond butter with some cocoa…but I’m still hungry, going to find something else to eat.
January 20, 2010 at 10:12 pm
breakfast: 3.5 eggs, broccoli, asparagus, green tea.
had work stuff to do so I missed my snack.

post workout: steak, broccoli, mushroom, asparagus, grapes, orange.
diner: canned salmon and steak, spinach, olives, walnuts, pecans. Apple.
MLC, that dressing you provided “olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, crushed garlic”. Freaking delicious! Thanks.
January 20, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Just scarfed down another spinach salad, need to be well fueled for those back squats tomorrow!
January 22, 2010 at 2:48 pm
