What I Ate Week 2 Whole 30 Food Diary + Week 3 Meal Plan

Week 2 left me feeling a little bored… I didn’t vary my plan enough and got frustrated eating a lot of the same things.  Other than that I think week 2 went very good.  My breastmilk supply is still on the up and up, and my jeans have been fitting a lot better.  I even ventured out to eat with my husband this week for a date night.  My hubs isn’t Paleo, but we are both trying to eat better so we went to Chipotle and enjoyed a delicious salad bowl.  I checked out several pages that recommended Chipotle for eating Paleo but cautioned to only order the Pork Carnitas because it was one of the only meats not cooked in Soybean Oil (Which is a huge Paleo no-no).  I was happy to learn when we were there that they have discontinued the use of soybean oil, and replaced it with sunflower oil due to GMOs.  Go Chipotle!

Speaking of having a husband who isn’t Paleo – I was asked several times this week if everyone in my home eats what I eat.  The short answer is yes.  The long answer? My husband takes care of his own meals for breakfast and lunch.  He is counting calories and not Paleo.  My son eats the same breakfast everyday – a bar and a fruit/veggie pouch. For lunch he usually requests the same 3-4 things.  Almond butter/Jelly, Turkey Roll Ups, Hotdogs, or Eggs.  He still also eats some dairy, but no milk.  At dinner everyone eats what I cook.  Eventually I’d like to get my son on a Paleo diet too, but I need to be more consistent in it myself before I start to break him up from his bread and yogurt.

We got a little off our Week 2 Meal Plan, so this week I am going to really dig into some books for variety and stick to it so we aren’t short leftovers for leftover night!
