My April Whole30: Days 23 & 24

Day 23

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Snack:

Dinner:

Sleep (Last Night):  7.5 hours

Workout:  Cheer coaches clinic, a little bit of stunting, handstands

Thoughts:  I went out for lunch and it took some serious willpower to resist the chips that were placed at our table immediately upon sitting down.  I also really wanted the sour cream and cheese that came with my fajitas, but I stayed strong.

I brought a piece of leftover salmon and an avocado to my parents' house to ensure I had something for dinner, but my mom had made some options for me: baked chicken, roasted cauliflower, and some cucumber slices!  I ended up combining both and dinner was great.

Day 24

Breakfast:

Plus a lovely cup of coffee.

Lunch:

 I only ate about a third of that steak.

Snack:

Hi, my name's Amber and I'm addicted to Larabars!

Dinner:

Cumin Spiced Slow Cook Pork came out great!

Dessert:

Some SWYPO, banana soft serve cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and coconut cream, yum!

I may or may not have had a few more spoonfuls of the cream.

Sleep (Last Night): 6.75 hours

Workout: Some push ups (and I cleaned my car!)

Thoughts:  Today was gorgeous and I got to eat lunch outside.  Also, I love coming home to dinner in the crockpot!

So, after much consideration, Dave and I have decided to cancel our memberships at the YMCA and officially join CrossFit!  I think the Y is a great gym but I'm drinking the CrossFit koolaid!  I like lifting heavy, having coaches to critique me, going balls to the walls for a short intense workout... it's really just right up my alley.  And the people seem awesome too!

Only 6 days left!

Do you cook in a crockpot?  Have you tried any new recipes lately?

My April Whole30: Day 7

Brunch:

Dinner:

 Dessert:

Sleep (Last Night): 9.5 hours!

Workout:  Today was definitely a rest day.

Thoughts:  I felt so refreshed getting that much sleep!  I didn't feel very hungry in the morning, so I decided to skip breakfast.  We didn't end up eating lunch until around 1:30 but I wasn't starving beforehand.  I spent the entire day outside sunbathing with Puddin', reading, and hanging with friends.  It was lovely.

After dinner I was craving a treat so I decided to have some banana soft serve! It probably counts as sex with your pants on (SWYPO) in the Whole30 program, but if eating frozen bananas is wrong then I don't want to be right!

Banana Soft Serve

1. Peel a ripe banana (the more ripe, the sweeter) and place in the freezer
2. When the banana is frozen take out and mash (or put in your food processor if you're fancy)
3. Top with shredded coconut, coconut cream, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, etc.
4. Enjoy your banana "ice cream"

One week down!
