Resolution progress. #whole30
Jan. 31st, 2016 04:56 pmResolution #5 this year: "I will log at least 30 Whole30-compatible meals a month into MyPaleoPal. I will review progress on this goal every month & the only acceptable reason for missing this target will be extended work travel."
So, in January I logged 24 Whole30-compatible meals on MyPaleoPal, & I also logged an additional 15 "General Paleo" meals. The main reason I did not hit the 30-meal goal is that we took a week of vacation in January, & during that week, I ate whatever I wanted. When I was at home though, I was doing pretty well. Many of the "General Paleo" meals were only one ingredient away from being Whole30-compliant - salad dressings with dairy in them were a big trip-up, for instance. Also, I made a batch of Texas Red chili & used masa to thicken it - corn is non-compliant, so every meal with that chili in it was "General Paleo", not Whole30.
Of my 24 Whole30 meals, 13 were breakfasts, 6 were lunches, & 5 were dinners. This doesn't surprise me - I have mastered several Whole30 breakfast casseroles & at this point, they are my go-to breakfasts at all times. Lunches would have been much better if I had stuck to Whole30-compliant salad dressings. As for dinners, I simply haven't been diligent about leaving out every. single. forbidden. food.
This has been a good exercise. It has reminded me how strict the Whole30 really is, but also demonstrated to me that my standard diet is not ALL that far off of it any more. I'm thinking of doing a pure, fully compliant Whole30 for Lent, which would start in 10 days.
