My April Whole30: Day 3

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Snack:

Dinner:

Workout:  20 minute hike with Puddin'

Sleep (Last Night):  7.75 hours

Thoughts:  I went out to lunch with two of my bosses and another coworker after a meeting.  I ordered the bruschetta chicken sandwich, hold the bread and cheese.  It came with a side of zucchini, onions, and tomatoes.  I don't know what the chicken was marinated in, if the bruschetta was made with non compliant oil, or what the veggies were cooked in.  I just couldn't bring myself to ask the waiter and make myself "that customer" in front of my bosses (but apparently I didn't feel awkward enough not to take a picture of my meal lol).  Moving on... I'm becoming really into sweet potatoes.  It's so funny when you end up loving a food you used to "not like" (aka did I ever really give it a chance in the first place?), for me this includes onions, cream cheese, and now sweet potatoes!  I felt pretty tired and blah right before lunch but I was also sitting through a thrilling two and a half hour meeting, so I don't know if that was food related.  Otherwise I felt good today!

Have you ever realized you loved a food that you hated for years?

That's Cassie, my parents' Puddin' twin!

Workout:  I had cheer practice tonight which involved spotting tons of back handsprings.  Sometimes I wonder if my right arm is becoming stronger than the left just from spotting tumbling! Maybe I should try and mix up the side I spot from.  I also did a lot of random lifting throughout the practice while helping the girls stunt.  I completed my mild workout with some back bends and working on kicking over.  I'm trying to learn how to do a back walkover... never too late right?

Sleep (Last Night): 7.5 hours

Thoughts:  I wanted to eat more for breakfast today, but I forgot my hard boiled eggs and I really didn't have time at work anyway.  I wasn't starving or anything though.  Still no coffee, going strong!  I thought I was getting a headache a few hours after lunch, but after I ate the box of raisins I felt fine.  Ended up eating eggs for dinner.  My mom's meal was completely Paleo but not Whole30 compliant.  I could've added veggies, but I was feeling lazy.  Eggs are so easy!

I'm loving my meal plan!  Although I think I may have to cook some more chicken or think of a substitute in my curry soup, I'm not sure yet.  Day 2, feeling good.

Have you learned any new tricks lately?

My April Whole30: Day 1

Day 1 is in the books!

Breakfast:

Lunch:

Dinner:

 

Snacks:  1 bite of Dave's Apple Pie Lara Bar before CrossFit

Workout:  CrossFit On-Ramp Class!  Tonight we reviewed cleans, snatches, and kettlebell swings.  The WOD was 5 rounds of 7 power cleans, 7 box jumps, and 7 kettlebell swings.  I completed it in 6:40 and it was tough!  We finished our On-Ramp Class tonight, now we plan on checking out some of the regular classes before we make any financial commitments, but so far I've really enjoyed it!

Sleep (Last Night): 8.5 hours!

Thoughts:  I felt great today!  I avoided coffee since I felt fine without it.  I was pretty hungry well before lunch, so I probably should've had more for breakfast.

I weighed in at 145.0 lbs this morning, which is a bit more than I expected since I'd been weighing in consistently around 141 (+/- a pound or two) since my Whole21.  I'm assuming the few extra pounds were a direct result of the booze, OJ, pizza, cookies, pita bread, tortilla chips, and chocolate covered preztels I consumed this weekend.  Eek!  While our main meals were mostly Paleo, I definitely didn't restrict myself when treats were presented, since I knew that the Whole30 was on the horizon.  Not the best method, but it happened, moving on!  I'm anticipating my tummy to shrink back to it's post Whole21 size within days.  And yay, because feeling bloated is the worst... am I right?!

So, will tomorrow bring the carb flu?  I know I had it last time.  Only time will tell, but I'm definitely not anticipating feeling fabulous tomorrow.
