3/30 check-in

Day ?

I almost feel bad starting this because I'm currently eating GF cake. 

Forgive me W30 for I have absolutely not sinned because it's that good.

Be kind to yourself superduper. Even if you overate, you were still eating compliant foods and making good choices in that regard.

Today is day 2 for me. My H and I are doing it together. It was super helpful to meal prep Saturday night prior to starting, I can really see how important it is to meal prep. It was so easy going to the refrigerator yesterday with options of what to eat. I really need to maintain my supply since I'm still nursing my 8 month old exclusively (with no freezer stash ) through this round so that is what I am focused on.

Thanks for creating this board, I found a lot of useful info on here prior to starting.

Breakfast: 4 eggs cooked in ghee, spaghetti squash and a 1/4 of a sweet potato
Beverage: Lactation tea, and a can of coconut milk (I've read it should help keep my supply up)
Lunch: roasted chicken thighs, zucchini soup, a little green beans, broccoli and spaghetti squash
Snack: Kiwi and cashews (if needed)
Dinner: likely chili with roasted sweet potato and brussel sprouts
Last Meal: roasted chicken thighs and some veggies if hungry. (I've also read that I may need to eat at least 4 full meals to be able to continue to nurse)

aqualuv - have you checked out the BFing section on the w30 forums? It may be helpful to you if you have questions.

wambam I sure have, I spent a lot of time reading over there before deciding to give the Whole 30 a try. Thank you!

Post W30

B: hardboiled eggs, banana + coffee. (sadly was missing veggies but had to have a quick one)
S: strawberries, pineapple and blueberries
L: salad with spinach, roasted peppers, red onions and brussels sprouts, grilled chicken and feta (! allowing some dairy!)
D: Trader Joes chicken sausages, green beans, riced cauliflower

To add to aqualuv's comments - I think W30 has been excellent for my breastfeeding.  I feel so good and I have to think this milk has even better nutritional value for my baby.

Day 1! This is my second W30 since January. The first went well but then I went on vacation and when I returned was not able to get my shit together and have been a bit on a downward spiral with my eating. So, here I am. I will probably do a bit of a modified W30 allowing a bit of butter and legumes on occasion. The goal for me this time is just to get back into cleaner eating habits and focus on portion control.

B: eggs, coffee
L: unsure. I have to put something together soon.
D: spaghetti squash, tomato sauce with ground beef, salad
S: almonds, raw veggies
E: 30 minutes swimming laps. 3km run with my dog.
