Day 16 - Tuesday 7/22/14
- Breakfast: Cup of coffee and a slice of my egg casserole
- Lunch: I went out with a coworker after a field meeting, they really didn't have much in the way of compliant choices, so I went with a chicken caesar with no croutons. I'm sure the dressing was a cheat and obviously the sprinkle of cheese! It wasn't a cheesesteak!
- Snack: A peach
- Dinner: Lemon Ginger Chicken from The 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook with Asian Cauliflower Fried Rice, super yummy!
- Workout: CrossFit at 6 am! The WOD was:
- 50-40-30-20-10 Double Unders
- 25-20-15-10-5 Snatches
- Alternating between (22 min cap)
I finished in 17:05 and used 35 lbs for the snatch. I also walked Puddin' and did some pull ups on my neighbors homemade pull up bar!
- Sleep: 6.5 hours
- Thoughts: More temptations at work, a free ice cream social that I successfully avoided. I was SUPER exhausted by the end of the day.
Day 17 - Wednesday 7/23/14
- Breakfast: Cup of coffee and a slice of my egg casserole + a little bit of sweet potato
- Lunch: I went out to celebrate a coworker who is getting married over the weekend. I had a salad with grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar, spicy pecans, red peppers, tomatoes, red onions, with garlic ranch. I ordered it without croutons and I gave away the roll that came with it. I
couldshould have ordered it without the cheese and just topped with oil & vinegar instead of the dressing it came with. - Dinner: Leftover Lemon Ginger Chicken in an Asian inspired salad with cabbage, carrots, celery, snap peas, jalapeno, scallions, sesame seeds, mandarin oranges, and sliced almonds, dressed in some marinade I put aside when I made the chicken. This was awesome!
- Workout: CrossFit at 6 am - Strength portion: Front squat, 2 reps EMOM for 10 minutes at 80% of max. I did 95 lbs, which was light for my 140 lbs front squat, but these were so tough! The WOD was a 10 minute AMRAP:
- As many wallballs as possible
- Every time you took a break you had to do 10 toes to bar
I completed 67 reps. I guess I could've pushed myself through more wallballs, but my legs were cooked from those front squats and I know I got a good workout. I also took Puddin' for a walk, but as always, it was a slow one.
- Sleep: 6.5 hours
- Thoughts: Yay for easy dinners that remix other meals!
Day 18 - Thursday 7/24/14
- Breakfast: Cup of coffee and a slice of my egg casserole + a little bit of sweet potato
- Lunch: Leftover Lemon Ginger Chicken from The 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook with Asian Cauliflower Fried Rice. Another free lunch at work that I skipped and brought my own.
- Snack: Some cherries
- Dinner: Steak fajitas, yum! I sauteed some onions and peppers in ghee with a chipotle spice blend, Dave grilled the steak, and I whipped up some homemade guac with an avocado, some onion and tomato, a little minced jalapeno, some lime juice, salt, and cilantro. We topped everything with a few chunks of tomato and a bit of salsa. So simple and so yummy.
- Workout: Walk with Puddin'
- Sleep: 7.5 hours
- Thoughts: I prepped the Lamb Meatballs with Paleo Tzatziki Sauce for the dinner tomorrow night, so I can just relax and enjoy while I'm there, but the time I was done with that and our dinner I was feeling super burnt out in the kitchen. I'm thinking some super quick and easy recipes will be making an appearance in next week's meal plan!
Day 19 - Friday 7/25/14
- Breakfast: Cup of coffee and a slice of my egg casserole + a little bit of sweet potato
- Lunch: Leftover Lemon Ginger Chicken from The 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook with Asian Cauliflower Fried Rice
- Snack: More coffee!
- Dinner: Greek Night! Lamb Meatballs with Paleo Tzatziki Sauce, some baba ganoush, souvlaki (pork, chicken, and veggie kabobs - compliant except for a splash of soy sauce), and some Greek salad (hold the feta, womp). I also tried a small slice of moussaka because my coworker went through quite a process to create this new to me dish and YOLO.
- Snack: Kombucha
- Workout: 6 am CF 80 lbs power clean
- Sleep: 5.5 hours (woof!), they have been doing construction on a water main the road near my house for what feels like forever. Usually it's not that big of a deal, but when they were jack hammering the pavement at 11:30 pm last night, I was super pissed! "Oh it's so cool out, let's open the windows and turn off the AC." Fail.
- Thoughts: My tummy felt kinda bloated when we left the dinner, I know there was flour and some other non compliant items in the moussaka. Or maybe it was the soy sauce that got me. Either way, I could've been more strict at this event.
Day 20 - Saturday 7/26/14
- Brunch: Some leftover steak and cumin carrots
- Snack: More coffee!
- Grazing all day: I was pretty loose at the Christmas in July pool party we attended. I ate some meatballs, buffalo chicken, pulled pork, and wings that I'm sure were not compliant due to marinades and sauces. I made a Pinterest inspired veggie tray (shaped like a Christmas Tree... totally thought I took a picture of this, but couldn't find it) and served it with some guac to guarantee I'd have some veggies, but I also picked some out of the pasta salad (that probably had some non compliant dressing on them). I ate some watermelon and had a Trilogy flavored kombucha.
- Workout: Nada
- Sleep: 7 hours
- Thoughts: The Whole30 is so easy when I'm cooking, but when I'm at parties and restaurants I just can't justify being "that person." I don't have an autoimmune disease, I don't have horrible acne, I'm not morbidly obsese, I don't have Celiac's... am I doing a proper Whole30? No. Am I changing my eating habits for the better? Yes.
Day 21 - Sunday 7/27/14
- Breakfast: Coffee
- Lunch: Apparently bridal showers are my downfall... I ate some salad, grilled veggies, a super cheesy eggplant rollatini, some chicken parm, some chicken francese... oh and a cupcake with extra frosting! And a tiny bite of crumb cake, that wasn't worth it, so I didn't eat the rest. Coffee.
- Dinner: Chipotle bowl with carnitas, mild & green salsa, lettuce, and guacamole
- Workout: Spent 5.5 hours in the car today, ain't nobody got time fo dat
- Sleep: 6.75 hours
- Thoughts: Mehhh, what can I say? The cheesy food was definitely a cheat, but a cupcake?! My sister and my mom started indulging in their cupcakes and could not stop raving about the amazing icing. Michelle even said it was the best icing she ever tasted. I decided it was worth it. No joke, the icing tasted like butter. It was DELICIOUS.
Again... I am not the poster child for a perfect Whole30, but I'm just trying to keep it real on the blog! Tomorrow is a new day. Time to get back on track and finish strong.
