I’m Kristen. Welcome to All In My Twenties, my place to pour my little heart out on the daily!! This is the world just as I see it. Why dont you kick up your feet and stay awhile?!
Hey there hotties!
Its Friday which means I put on my happy pants when I jumped out of bed this morning.
SO excited for the weekend to sleep in.
Every single morning when I wake up at 6:15, I think, "On Saturday Im sleeping til noon"!
Cleary this guy feels the same way!
{Its such a hard life to be a bully!}
{"Mom, NO FLASH!!! I'm tryin to get some slllleeeeeeeepppp!!"}
Anywho, Im droppin in to update you on this Yeast Free Business!
So this is how my week went...
Monday - Rocked the shit out of some yeast free, sugar free meals.
Breakfast - Eggs, salsa, turkey bacon
Lunch - Salad
Dinner - Spaghetti Squash and Spaghetti Sauce - If youve never tried this you are MISSING out!
Overall - Felt great Monday, was super happy with my Yeast Free start!
Tuesday- Things were still awesome in my world!
Breakfast - Eggs and turkey bacon again
Lunch - Spaghetti Squash leftovers
Dinner - Lettuce wrap tacos - super yummy too
Overall - Still feeling pretty darn good! And very proud of myself for being so healthy and cooking! Go Kristen!! Im knocking this yeast free business out of the park! I officially have no clue what people think is so hard about this!
Wednesday- I woke up feeling like someone kicked my ass in my sleep. LITERALLY. Head pounding body exhausted. Pretty much like I was dying.
Breakfast - Egg/Jimmy Dean/Veggie Caserole
Dinner - Chili
Overall - I was pretty much considering eating anything that would make my head stop pounding at thispoint! The thought of throwing this diet to moon was decided on three times and somehow I just went to sleep to stop thinking about quitting.
Thursday - I woke up feeling like a million bucks. Maybe thats because I thought I was close to death the day before. But I has no headache, my body felt better. All in all I was feeling pretty good.
Breakfast - Eggs, Alvacado and Veggies
Lunch - Chili
Dinner - Chicken/ Mixed Veggies/ Fresh Spinach
Overall - I felt pretty good, I was just very tired. I could definitely tell that my body was missing the carbs aka its main energy source.
Friday- Im feeling SO much better today! I dont feel exhausted. Im not craving anything and I already can see the difference in my body. My jeans are looser. My scale says Im 4lbs lighter than Sunday and I feel GOOD!! I definitely am committed to this Yeast Free Biatch now!!
So here you have it, Im 5 days in and I can see that this is going to change my life. I already feel better and am anxious to see what this new lifestyle will result in longterm. Its definitely a tough, rough start but once you get past the hard part it DOES get easier! I also can see that the diet's success is going to depend 100% on preparation and meal planning! As long as you have your ducks in a row and you have planned everything out this diet CAN work and CAN change your life!!
So If you havent started yet, you should THIS MONDAY!! Do it!
If you have started the diet, send me your favorite recipes!! I need more meal options!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
Spaghetti Squash - I'm not a squash fan - or really any veggie fan, but you said its good - please explain....lol
ReplyDeleteYou bake it and then scrape the inside of the sqaush with a form and it litterally make stringy noodles. It doesnt taste like a veggie. All you can taste is the speghetti sauce so I think its just a filler! And Its good I promise! Even Chris ate it and liked it and I thought for sure he would like that I didnt use real pasta!
DeleteYou're awesome, girlfriend! That is SO ENCOURAGING! What a huge change in just a few days...and all of those foods sound so GOOD! I love me some spaghetti squash--I'll definitely be making that this weekend now :) Happy Friday, pretty lady!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Happy Friday to you!!
DeleteI REALLY need to get on this spaghetti squash business. It looks delish, and I could definitely cut down on my carbs! I posted about my 40 lb weight gain/loss journey on my blog the other day. I'm hoping to start posting recipes, updates and overall healthy habits. Glad to hear it's working already! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThats awesome! Im hoping cutting out carbs helps! :)
DeleteWay to hang in there even when you started to feel like crap! That spaghetti squash looks delish. Now I'm craving it :)
ReplyDeleteI love spaghetti squash and actually don't miss that "I'm so full" post pasta feeling. Are you eating snacks in the AM and PM? I know you only had one day where you felt bad, but snacks keep your metabolism going! So glad to see that this has been so successful so far - I'm actually doing a 24 day cleanse and food challenge, so I understand the importance of meal prep and support!
ReplyDeleteIve been eating celery with all natural peanut butter, almonds and broccoli as snacks!
DeleteGood job on doing so well this week! I know you're getting all your info from Stephanie but, is there an online guide or something to tell you what you can & can't have? Just wondering b/c I don't think I'll be able to remember it all in my head!
ReplyDeleteI got this manual online from her health clinic! If you send me your email I will forward it to you!
DeleteOh awesome! I'll send you an e-mail now! Thank you so much!
DeleteI would love to try this out! Can you send it to me? rlbean1987@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteAnd how cute is that pup!!
Hey Kristen!! These all look delish. Way to go on losing 4 pounds!!!

So now I am finally convinced to try spaghetti squash! One of my roommates made it a few months ago and I thought she was crazy, but you make it look and sound so yummy!

I have been wanting to try spaghetti squash forever but haven't done it... I bought one once but never cooked it. By the end of this month I have a goal of trying it now :)
ReplyDeleteI love spaghetti squash and spaghetti sauce - it is one of my standbys for an easy, quick dinner. I like to throw in some of the white meat off of a rotisserie chicken. Yummy for sure. And CONGRATS on the weight loss - that's motivation for sure to keep it up!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd love to check out the manual.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend follows the Paleo diet 95% of the time and I follow it about 80% with him.
We use a lot of sweet potato chips [homemade baked in the oven], onions, peppers andmushrooms have become our trinity to cook with.
We love steak or chicken with asparagus, sweet potato chips and green beans.
I choose to eat dairy and have become pretty talented making portobello mushroom pizza. I'm sure you can find nondairy cheese to use.
My hint for you would be to find something that tasts like your sweet cheat, otherwise you'll go cray cray.
Also, don't be suprised if you hit the CARB-FLU! Don't fret, you don't get sick, but the loss of carbs in your life throw your system out of wak, trust me, been thee done that. I was all mopey and sad for a few days with carb withdrawl, but it went away pretty quick. GOOD LUCK GIRLIE! You got this!
[sorry for the humongo comment!]
Wow girl in 5 days down 4 pounds you are a Boss! I tried the Metabolism Miracle and after 5 days I was so cranky and whiney I stopped and it showed no weight loss but they say 8 weeks I cant wait that long I want it now. You go girl im going to have to give this a try
ReplyDeleteHey! I've had that spaghetti squash spaghetti before and you're right, it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteAs for yeast free, is it a normal thing to feel ick during the first few days? Does it last a long time, or can you bounce back like you did?
COngrats on the 4 pounds! That's awesome!
Hi Kristen! Congrats on your successful week of yeast free dieting!! This post has inspired me to get back into routine for sure! I actually tried the spaghetti squash with spaghetti sauce this week and I wasn't a fan. I prefer the soft pasta texture and the spaghetti squash was a little too crunchy for me. Did you ever have this problem? Maybe I just don't know how to cook (truth)!
ReplyDeleteI just started Yeast Free yesterday! My husband is not on board with this (he is giving up booze for a month, so no yeast would probably put him in the nutty bin). So, it's going to be a challenge, but I am excited! Is there a place you can recommend that you are you finding info/ recipes?
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Thanks for posting a food diary, I think that helps to stick with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love reading this and getting encouragement for my clean eating as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome! Keep it up, girl! And one question... did you eat any snacks between meals?
ReplyDeleteThis post was definitly an encouragement! Will totally be trying this diet.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the spaghetti squash taste like? I like squash so I am gonna say I might like it as spaghetti possibly! How did you cook your chicken? Did you put spices & such on it? I am glad your feeling better & adjusting well to the new diet plan :)
ReplyDeleteI can never find spaghetti squash at HEB! It makes me so sad. This is probably a dumb question, but yeast free just means no bread right?
ReplyDeleteHehe! I love your little bullbaby - I have one too, his name is Brutus Baxter-Barkly ;)
ReplyDeleteI tried yeast free ... mostly following a paleo diet for 7 days straight. I legit dropped 5 pounds....meal planning was KEY to this! Then, due to an unexpected move that took us from Texas to Massachusetts I munched on crap (chips, typical road trip food) and let me just tell you..my body did NOT cooperate with that!! Then the holidays hit and I know that I totally gained the 5 pounds lost, and then some!
Now that we're settled in Germany it's much easier to focus on meal planning and a healthy lifestyle.
I have a trainer back home in Massachusetts and she once put the visual in my head that if you poured a bag of flour into your sink and turned the water on, that's what flour and gluten and all that crap do inside your body, too. Gross, right?
Anyways, I'm so glad that I found your blog and I'm looking forward to following along on your glluten/yeast-free journey! xo
Hey Kristen!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you could post a recipe for those tacos - they look amazing!
What was the recipe for the breakfast casserole you made? I am doing yeast free and would love to have it to make this week :)
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR YOU! Amazing that you've already lost 4 pounds! That makes me want to try it...but pasta is my happiness, I just cannot live without it. Maybe I should attempt a few yeast free meals a week to start me out!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I have recently decided I need to do soemthing about my diet and your WW history inspired me to go that route. Have you ever heard of slenderkitchen.com? I just purchased the weekly meal plan subscription and it's all based upon WW points. Hoping to standby it like you do. Keep on kicking butt at yeast free !:)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have committed to starting this diet soon! I feel so inspired by you and Stephanie and I'm hoping with having him around for accountability, I'll actually be able to stick with it!!
