Whole 30

I'm trying the Whole 30 this month (http://whole9life.com/2012/01/whole-30-v2012/).  Starting yesterday (03 Aug 2012).
Eat paleo.

I've been about 60/40 in my ability to eat Paleo of late and I think my body is starting to convert to wanting/desiring good foods.  Last night, I had a Wendy's single hamburger with cheese (and bun) w/ a side of fries.  This morning...my body is rejecting this food.  My tummy is unhappy (I'll spare you the gory details).  This is more proof for me that I'm not built to eat this kind of food...anymore.

As I get more into this...doing more research and reading, I find lots of good support.

The Foodee project is my new favorite website.  It provides good info on recipes that are paleo.
You can add the recipes to a shopping cart which in turn creates a grocery store shopping list!
Very convenient!

Inspiration

Diet Coke - not craving it any more.  Drinking Pellegrino with lemon juice in a wine glass (when I can) and it feels extra special.

Workouts:  Slumped this week.  I tweaked my ankle last week and when I try to push off, it says "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  STOP THAT!"  Only two workouts this week

Food:  Not eating what I should and the scale shows it.

My circumference measurements remain unchanged but my weight was up 4lbs :(
(you reap what you sow...)

Still reading It Starts With Food.  It's easy enough to do; now I must follow through!

Reinvigorated by working out today...looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow already!

On a Streak or On a Slump?

On a streak --> On a slump

OK...pizza!
I said it!
Pizza!
I said it and I ate it!  4 slices...plus focacia bread (think thick crust pizza bread with oozy cheese on it).
And a candy bar (3 musketeers).

And...how did I feel?  Guilty and fluffy.

So today, I start again.
I'm so enjoying a new book.  It Starts With Food by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig.
They are being interviewed RIGHT NOW on the Underground Wellness Show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/undergroundwellness/2012/06/29/it-starts-with-food-w-dallas-and-melissa-hartwig.

I got a good reboot from my coach today to help encourage me through the Paleo process and listening to this online podcast is just what the Dr. ordered!

On a good note, I enjoyed another interval workout 4x400m!  Wonderful!  Legs felt sparkly afterwards.

Tuesday - 12 Jun - Day 16

Birthday cake at work today.  UGH!
Need I say more?

**********

Good workout today.
100 Double Unders
50 push ups
40 kettlebell swings
30 air squats
20 pull ups (assisted)

really enjoyed this one.
Must go heavier on the kettle bell swings.  15# is too light.

How do I feel?
Like ick!
I don't want anything to drink except water.
I should have had a bowl of air for dinner.

Received a new book in the mail today called "It starts with food" by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig.
They are Robb Wolf proteges.  So I'm sure I'll read similar guidance but packaged differently.

Just ordered a magnesium supplement called Natural Calm.  Sounds like it will help me with getting better sleep.
