Awesome, I love battle logs! Sub'd!

I am fairly sure many of you have no idea what the Autoimmune Protocol is, so here is a link and some easy to read lists of "can have" and "cant have".

Tuesday: 11.5.13

Breakfast--2 homemade beef sausage patties & green tea

I didn't use casings and subbed ground beef for the pork, but it's awesome every time I make it.

Lunch--(non AIP) turkey sandwich pinwheels and a half & half tea (sweet/unsweet)

I was at Walmart and it was get something like that or eat McDs, and I thought McD's was worse!

Dinner--Beef and Butternut Squash Stew and Water

I had to modify the stew, I HATE stew beef (I used chuck roast cubes) and cant have cinnamon or garlic and was out of pears and mushrooms, but it was still yummy!

making that stew in the crockpot on Sunday has saved my ass all week. I definitely need to do crockpot meals on Sundays!

[CactusWren]

That sounds delicious! Good job! Especially at Walmart. Oh, how a quarter pounder with fries can beckon one.

[Mad Hatter]

Good start!

sub subbbbbb suuuuuuuuub SUB!

Wednesday: 11.6.13

Breakfast--Sausage again (3 patties) and water

Lunch--Taco Salad and chips and salsa and mini Rolos

why?: emotional eating to some degree, but also the only place to eat within walking distance of the dr. appt I had, other than a cupcake place! So not good, but it could have been (and got) much worse!

(I didn't eat the entire bowl of chips, only like 1/3 of it)

Dinner--Fajitas and chips and salsa and vanilla custard with butterscotch and chocolate syrup

why?: because it tasted good, no excuse.

(I ate all of this and the bowl of chips in its entirety)

(I didnt eat the rice, and only 1/2 the beans)

I have no idea how to get images from Instagram to here, but I do have it, and I have no idea why all the pics are upside down either

My lunch and dinner were very far from AIP, so today was a major fail

I'm scared of fucking up this work experience and the thought of trying and failing at my "dream" job (wellness coach/yoga teacher) is causing me to self sabotage....not good

[Mad Hatter]

Ok so I know that you posted a link to what you can and can't eat but I'm going to forget anyway. But if you eat something not approved do you think you could make a note so I know when to virtually slap encourage you?

I am here for support!

 

Do you have instagram? Would love to see pics of food before you put it into your mouth. Plus I always feel like if you snap pics of your food taking that extra step might stop some bad decision making.

 

 

When does the virtual slapping begin?

hah now!

I have instagram but barely have figured out how to even take pictures with it yet, so getting those pictures from there to here, is something I don't have any idea how to do....but if you can tell me how, thats got to be easier than emailing them to myself then uploading them to photobucket and then copy/paste every image here!!! Its taken me 30 minutes to just do these!

[Batwoman]

Posting here from instagram would be tricky, because they don't really host the photos like a service like flickr does.

 

I usually upload photos to Flickr from my phone and copy the image URL to post on these boards. I can help you through that if it is something that you want to do.

[Abtacha]

I love sausage patties!

Yes please I tried to figure it out and couldnt, so I was just using my photobucket, but that wont work on my phone for some reason, but Flickr will

Thank you

Thursday 11.7.13:

Breakfast--sausage patties

(do y'all want pics of my sausage? )

Lunch--turkey, cheddar cheese and apple tortilla

( I ate half before I remembered to take a picture)

Dinner--

Some Frozen chicken veggie pasta concoction they sell at the store (Garlic Chicken in a blue bag....Bird's Eye maybe?)

and then because I made pizza for the kids and I struggle to resist pizza on the best of days, I didnt even try today

Thank GOD I dont have OCD or this upside down picture crap would be making me crazy....there is some glitch I guess bc all my photos are oriented right inside photobucket, but pasting them here, they end up upside down

[alienjenn]

Yes.... send me a pic of your "sausage"

(sent by the phone. .. all mistakes are the phones fault)

Friday 11.8.13

Brunch: i made a smoothie (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, mango, spinach, almond butter and almond milk)!

Dinner: Homemade chicken broth with Gluten Free Matzo balls

JJ bought sparkling water instead of seltzer so they didnt have the right texture, but they tasted good! The kids had the normal stuff in their broth, but I'm not up for all that today, so I strained all the soup out

and I had a few bites of this cookie dough

[alienjenn]

I see it right side up

 

 

and..... it sounds yummy... but... it looks less so

[Batwoman]

YUM... yeah I see it right side up too.

Breakfast--2 eggs and 2 slices of turkey bacon

27g protein

I ate another 4 slices, bc I figured the more protein the better...so thats another 29g

so I'm at 63g after breakfast!

Afternoon Snack: Butterbeer Frappucino and Coffee Cake

just when I think I have conquered my Starbucks addiction issues, they throw this sucker in my face! However, I think the Toffee Nut syrup is not my friend, bc I have a reaction to it, sooooo in this case I guess thats a positive, bc I wont order them often, or ever.

Dinner: Chicken Shwarma wrap with fries

31g of protein

So thats 94 for the day!!! (goal: 90g/day)
