Tomorrow I will run in the morning and have another last day of strong healthy eating before introducing foods back in!

We are doing a few more days to finish the week off and weigh in on Saturday.  So two more days, well two and a half because the dress appointment is at 4 on Saturday.

Whole 30 Day 30!!

WOOHOO!!! We did it! 30 days of clean eating!! Man it feels so good and accomplishing!

I felt extra hungry today for some reason.  I need to make sure to keep myself busy at school! I ate more snacks than I have while being off.  No workout today- I need to get back with it tomorrow!

Whole 30 day 29!

I can’t believe this “diet” is almost over.  It has taught me so much and I am looking forward to continuing with a healthy lifestyle.

We took a “sick” day today to get some wedding stuff done, mainly the registry.

Woke up around 8.  Made breakfast.

Breakfast- Eggs, sauteed red potatoes, bacon… YUM!!!

Lunch- Ground turkey and cauliflower rice leftovers.  This was seasoned with cumin and other spices!

Dinner- Spaghetti Squash with ground turkey meat sauce

I was definitely craving some chocolate or a sweet, but I was so full still from dinner!!!

No exercise today.  I meant to squeeze it in, but I did a lot of food prep in the kitchen and lost track of time. It is definitely easier to get it done in the morning.

Tomorrow is the first day back to work after over a week of being off.  I am going to try and wake up early to workout, but I also know I should get to work early to get things done! Lots to do!

 

Whole 30 day 28!

WOW! two more days, well technically.  I go back to work this week so I hope the week flies by and I try on my perfect dress on Sunday and everything works out! 🙂

I am really feeling great and look forward to continuing a healthy life style with 80/20 theory.

Today, woke up around 8.  Decided to do a quick fasted cardio (without food).  20 minutes on the tredmill.  It was a funky incline run/walk for 15 minutes (I reached 350 vt ft.) then the last 5 minutes was speed, 7.6 mph with no incline.

Breakfast- 3 scrambled eggs with mustard

Then I had a swim lesson for 3o minutes and went to the gym for leg day.

Warm up: 10 minutes on the stair master.  1 minute warm up @ level 10.  then I did 30 seconds on level 12, 1 minute on level 15.  After minute 5 or 6 (I forget now) I did 30 seconds on level 13, 1 minute on level 16! It was a good warm up to LEG DAYY!!

Squats

Snack- Banana

Lunch/Dinner- Salad with crab meat

Snack- Nut mix of cashews and almonds

Whole 30 day 27!

WOW!! Almost done! I wonder if the last few days will be the longest.  This past week felt like the longest week EVER!! Having 5 snow days was too much.

I woke up around 7:30.  I am feeling lazy so I just went and watched TV.

Breakfast- Egg Scramble: Red Potatoes & Scrambled Eggs

Snack- Muffin

Lunch- Chicken Breast

Snack- Blueberries

Dinner- Ground Turkey w/ cauliflower rice.  I used cumin as my main seasoning. It was just a mixture of what I had in the fridge!

Whole 30 day 26!

Another day!

I woke up around 8.  I had to make breakfast and be out of the house by 9:30 so I didn’t have time to run.

Breakfast- Egg scramble: red potatoes & scrambled eggs

snack- Muffin

Lunch- Salad with chicken

Snack- Muffin & Apple

Dinner- Salmon, Sweet potato, broccoli.

We decided to make dinner plans with friends we hadn’t seen in awhile.  Picking a “safe” place was hard, but we went with long horn.  I felt bad because I had to ask the waitress what I felt were ridiculous questions.  I had to make sure they had salmon non-marinated, which they did! I do think the broccoli had a little bit of butter, but I didn’t want to be too picky.

I felt great today.  One more week until the dress! then I will slowly start introducing foods back in and stick to a 80/20 plan!

Whole 30 day 25!

Snow day number 4.  Today needs to be extra productive!!! I do have class tonight at 5 so I need to stay focused!

Woke up a little after 7.  I had trouble sleeping last night and I think it was because I knew how much I had to get down around the house today.

I went right downstairs to workout! I was feeling a little weak, I think also a little hungry because I didn’t eat much yesterday.

I ran for 10 minutes.  Then I did an interval type workout.

1. Bicep Curl 3 sets of 8 with 15 lbs. Super set with upright Row 3 sets of 8 with 15 lbs.  In between sets I did 30 second sprints at 8.5
2. Tricep kickback 3 sets of 8 with 10 lbs.  Super set with tricep overhead 3 sets of 8 with 20 lbs.  In between sets I did 30 second sprints at 8.5
3. Overhead shoulder press  3 sets of 8 with 10 lbs.  Super set with Bent over reverse fly  3 sets of 8 with 10 lbs.  In between sets I did 30 second sprints at 8.5
4. I ended up doing 8 minutes of sprinting then 2 minutes of a cool down jog
5. ABS! On a yoga ball: 10 regular, 5 each side, 10 regular crunches.  Super set with 1 minute plank.  I did that twice
6. THEN I STRETCHED!  It was a solid workout!

For some reason I feel very hungry today.  I woke up feeling hungry and I have been hungry almost all day!  I am going to head to bed soon! Weekend starts tomorrow!

Whole 30 day 24!

Wow! Less than a week left!  It just feels so natural now! And I am really feeling great!  Another snow day, day 3.  Luckily I have errands to do this afternoon to get myself out of the house!!

I woke up around 8.  Went downstairs and ran first thing! I ran for about 30 minutes and walked for 5.  ( I am posting a day late and sadly I can’t remember what else I did 😦 ).  I need to do something to improve memory.

Breakfast- Egg scramble with home made salsa, Green smoothie: Kale, banana, peach, pineapple!

Lunch- Salad with tuna & a bowl of leftover soup

Snack- Almond & Cashew mix

Dinner- Carrots, leftover cauliflower rice with roasted broccoli, and chicken with Tessemae’s cracked pepper.  DELICIOUS!!

It felt good to get out of the house and feel human again.

Whole 30 day 23!

This snow caused another snow day.  However, I am not feeling the best.  Woke up with another sore throat and just kinda blah feeling.  Woke up a little after 8, which means I slept for almost 12 hours.

Breakfast- eggs w/ homemade salsa

Gym: I wanted to try and do some sort of workout today.  I did get a good sweat in! I ran 10 minutes and walked 5.  Then I did 3 sets of chest press with dumb bells and overhead extension (I think I am making that name up) with a 15 lb dumb bell.  In between sets I did a minute sprint at 8.5 mph.

I was definitely sweating by the end.  Not as much as I would have liked, but better than nothing.  My head was constantly pounding and I felt like I was doing “too much”.

Lunch- Bowl of homemade chicken and sweet potato soup.

Snack- Grapes

Dinner- Leftover chicken from the other night.  It was chicken with sweet onion & apple with Tessemae’s cracked pepper sauce.  We also had leftover cauliflower rice with roasted broccoli.  It was such a delicious meal!!
