As part of my get healthy goal, I decided that I would do the Whole30 for the month of May. It's essential paleo without "cheating"or as they would say "sex with your pants on" meaning no paleo-ified desserts, breads, muffins, etc. It is meant to challenge and break your normal eating habits to encourage a better relationship with food. I don't think I eat terribly on a regular basis- but I am significantly overweight- especially after having two kids. Baked goods are my nemesis. I love sweets. We do eat mostly organic produce, organic grass-fed meats, local pastured eggs, etc but I do have some not so healthy habits I'd like to break. I know if I want to complete a triathlon I'm going to have to give my body the best fuel possible.
May is the perfect time to start a program like this that relies so heavily on fresh produce. Next week is the start of the local farmer's market. Delicious tasty and local veggies will start appearing at the co-op. Hooray for Spring. Oh yeah... Happy Beltane!
Todays food:
Breakfast: Scrambled "green" eggs- eggs blended with spinach and kale, topped with red peppers and avocado
Snack: A handful of hazelnuts, almonds, and cashews. Peach and some pineapple chunks. Black Coffee
Lunch: A large salad with avocado, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Snack: Plum
Dinner: A grassfed local burger over lettuce with avocado and onions sauteed in ghee. Coconut Water.
I know that was a lot of avocado- we had a couple that were threatening to go bad so I ate them.
Training: Today I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. Then took a mile walk while wearing the bean and pushing the munchkin. I also took an Aqua Zumba class- which is just a blast. Good, silly, fun. I'm pretty beat after that much activity. Tomorrow was supposed to be my rest day, but I'm switching things around because I am just too busy Saturday to do what I had planned. Tomorrow I am getting up at o'dark thirty for a cycling class again- this time armed with padded bike shorts and cycling shoes!
