What I Ate on Week 1 of Whole30

Welp, we are in week 2 of my Whole30 challenge and I’m surviving (obviously).  Some days are definitely harder than others and props to anyone who has completed Whole30 before or anyone who eats this perfectly all the time, because it is NOT easy.  With that being said though, I feel absolutely amazing and am so proud that I am still going strong.  I just wanted to pop in and share my meals from the week 1 of my journey!  

Day 1

Meal 1:

  • Russet potato with Primal Kitchen ketchup and 1 over easy egg with Tabasco

Meal 2:

  • Salad with iceberg, red pepper, onion, green onion, tomato, sunflower seeds, salt and pepper, and Primal Kitchen honey mustard vinaigrette (hot dogs pictured went in the garbage)

Meal 1:

  • Russet potatoes with bell pepper, onion, and Primal Kitchen ketchup and 2 over easy eggs with Tabasco

  • Black grapes
  • Plantain chips

  • Roasted broccoli and cauliflower
  • Black grapes and strawberries with unsweetened coconut

Day 3 + 4

Meal 1: 

  • Plantain chips

Meal 2:

  • Applebee’s chicken breast over a side salad with pecans and lemon vinaigrette
  • Siete chips with salsa and avocado salsa

Meal 3:

  • Grilled chicken breast with spring mix, spinach, blueberries, apple, pecans, shredded carrots, and Primal kitchen honey mustard vinaigrette
  • Black pepper and basil chicken sausage with mustard
  • Apple

Meal 1: 

  • Russet potatoes with Primal Kitchen ketchup and 2 over easy eggs with Valentina salsa picante

Meal 2:

  • 1/2 jalapeno beef stick

Meal 3:

  • Grilled chicken kabobs with Primal Kitchen teriyaki
  • Grilled veggie kabobs with peppers, onions, mushroom, and Primal Kitchen oil and vinegar
  • Homemade Yukon gold potato french fries with Primal Kitchen ketchup

Meal 4:

  • Apple

Day 5 + 6 + 7

Meal 1: 

  • Chipotle lifestyle bowl with double chicken
  • Cinnamon apple chips

Meal 2: 

  • Air fried Yukon gold potatoes with Primal Kitchen ketchup
  • Couple bites of salad that had iceberg, sunflower seeds, and Primal Kitchen honey mustard vinaigrette
  • Watermelon
  • Terra chips

Meal 3 (11:40pm at night):

  • Cinnamon apple chips
  • Roasted mixed nuts

Meal 1: 

  • Buffalo Wild Wings chipotle BBQ dry rub, spicy garlic, and lemon pepper dry rub traditional wings (the chipotle BBQ is almost compliant)
  • Carrots and celery

Meal 2: 

  • Carrots and broccoli
  • Sautéed apples in coconut oil with cinnamon and vanilla extract
  • Roasted Yukon gold potatoes

Meal 1:

  • Watermelon

Meal 2:

  • Plantain crisps and guacamole

Meal 3: 

  • Applegate bacon
  • Sautéed apples in coconut oil with cinnamon and vanilla extract
  • Carrots and broccoli
  • Leftover potatoes and onions
  • Plantain chips

I am very proud of my choices and am feeling fantastic.  I know that plantain and Siete tortilla chips aren’t necessarily Whole30 approved because they are a processed item, however, when I do eat them it’s a small amount that I am fully in control of and the ingredients are compliant.  They help keep me sane lol.

My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 Found this My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 

Found this flannel at Target on clearance and only paid $11!  It’s super thin yet soft and cozy.  I suggest you go to your nearest Target and take a look at the clearance section for it, otherwise it is still online but for $21 instead (still completely worth it). Available in plus sizes and runs true to size! 

Also, as you can probably tell by this picture, we are not in AZ anymore. We are temporarily hanging out at all of our parents’ houses in MN until we learn of another job/location for Tommy’s work. 

The boots are from Target too and they were an urgent purchase once we got to MN since we didn’t pack any winter clothes 🤪  They’re too small for my feet (didn’t have my size) and they’re too short for capris lol 

(Please also take note of Tommy’s photography skills. They are improving).

For product details you can follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and search “AmberLoreeBlog” in the influencer search OR click the “Shop My Instagram” link in my bio OR just DM me for a link 👯‍♀️

Anyone else love @impressnails? I love fake nails Anyone else love @impressnails?  I love fake nails but hate them as soon as they grow out because my hair gets caught. This way when I take them off I don’t feel guilty because they are so affordable!
