Day 15: The Halfway Mark

In celebration of the halfway point I've decided to re-visit the me from Whole30 Eve to see if there have been any changes.
 
Profile - as of Whole30 Eve - additions in regular text are as of Day 15
Female
Age: 30
Weight: Heavy - still heavy, but maybe a little lighter
Height: 5'9"
Favorite Foods: Pizza, nachos, steak, hot wings, caesar salad, Mary Browns, pretty much any kind of cheese. I think that some of these items would still make it onto my favorites list but would be eaten very rarely and I would probably be a lot more picky. For example, at this point, I can't picture a life without pizza, but it would have to be really good pizza like Piatto. I haven't longed for any of the items above. I've been eating steak regularly, I've had chicken with hot sauce which is kind of like hot wings. I do miss cheese and caesar salad but I do hope to be able to add them back into my lifestyle at the end of the Whole30 even though I will be conscious of the sugar in the dressing and I may avoid croutons. I do miss Mary Browns, but that will be a very infrequent purchase for me. Not anywhere near the frequency that I ate it before the Whole30.
Favorite Treats: ice cream (particularly McFlurries), any kind of potato chips, any kind of pastry, shaken donuts at Montanas. - I did miss ice cream, but I found that banana's frozen, put through the food processor with a little coconut milk is a great substitute! And there are options too! I've been thinking of adding raspberries, cocoa, almond butter, and other fruit to the mix to make different flavors. And I find it sweet enough. I've been eating some plantain or kale chips instead of potato chips. I'm kind of thinking that potato chips may now have a "fake" or chemical taste to them. We'll see if I add them back. I have been having some cravings over the past few days for something sweet and flaky. That being said, I have done no experimental baking. I know that Whole9 says not to paleo-ify desserts but I think I may need to try something to keep my sanity. Jaclyn had an interesting recipe for a Whole30 compliant Apple Spice Zucchini Breakfast Cake. I may give that a go over the weekend.
Favorite Drinks: Coffee milk and 2 sweetener, diet pepsi, A&W rootbeer - flavored natural teas, cinnamon heart and peppermint being my favorite, carbonated water with a splash of fruit juice at social events, and coffee with coconut cream - yes I am getting used to it. It's not so bad...
Alcohol: Yes please... errr... ale or red wine.
Veggies most likely found in my fridge: peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes. - the same as before with the addition of cauliflower, sweet potato, broccoli slaw, asparagus, spinach, and baby bok choy
Activity Level: Running 4-ish km, 2-3 times per week, hiking 1-2 hours once every 2 weeks - I HATE walking and I HATE stairs. I will find any excuse to get out of these activities, ask Nicole. - Still running, now adding bathroom exercises (although not consistently)
Other Activity: Gardening, I grow my own herbs and veggies including carrots, peas, lettuce, beets and pumpkins. - The garden is coming along great this summer. I will add some pics when my computer is fixed.
Health Issues: IBS (symptoms have significantly decreased since I cut out wheat some time ago), slight acne, dry and itchy legs, intermittent neck soreness (could be related to chest size...), infrequent sciatic nerve issues. - IBS, about the same, I think I'm still healing and trying to get used to the dietary changes, acne seems to be clearer, legs have not been so itchy.
Frequency of take out food consumed: average of 2/5 workday lunches, and 2 additional times per week at home. - Nothing in 15 days!
