Whole 30 Day One

My first day of Whole30 is successfully in the books!

Breakfast was a Smoky Sweet Potato Hash. Super delicious (can be seen on my instagram (username: melsuedavis)).

Lunch was at Jason’s Deli...not part of my original plan. Ordered a Nutty Salad with no cheese and ate around the dried cranberries.

Snacks were a couple larabars and an apple with almond butter.

Last, but not least, was a yummy bowl of Chocolate Chili (http://meljoulwan.com/2009/02/22/my-favorite-chili-recipe/).

Whole30...

Starting the Whole30 Program tomorrow! I know it’s not the traditional beginning of month start date, but I decided there is no time like the present to change your life for better.

I have some health issues to clean up, and I am hoping and praying that this program will help me out.

Dinner, 02.05.16

Dinner tonight (for me and my hubby): Slow-Cooked Buffalo Chicken, which we are making into sandwiches, with a side of steamed broccoli.

Dessert (which isn’t healthy in the slightest) is good ol’ banana pudding with a twist. Trying golden Oreos in place of the vanilla wafers, and cheesecake pudding instead of vanilla. And instead of Cool Whip on top? Homemade whipped cream (which is way easier than I thought).

Good thing I plan on running long in the morning!

Life Happens

Hey there Tumblr,

I know I promised to start posting my food and my fitness on a daily basis. I kinda suck at that. Life kinda happened and messed up all my plans.

My eats and exercises are never as planned right now, and it’s hard to keep up. Be patient with me, while I work to try to find some routine and normalcy in this crazy, hectic time.

Sincerely, Me

Food and Fitness, January 30-31

So my nutrition went a little (ok, a lot) off track this weekend. No need for me to lay all the details out, but I am getting back to structure first thing tomorrow morning.

My exercise wasn’t too shabby though! My husband and I went hiking Saturday morning, a little over 6 miles. We hiked on the Benton McKaye Trail south until it met with the AT to hike to the Southern Terminus. It was pretty cool to see the placard, and I hope that one day we can hike a substantial part, or even all, of the Appalachian. Here’s to dreaming!

Short and sweet post on my workout.

Crossfit in the morning. Strength training focused on deadlift. WOD was an 8 minute EMOM.

Didn’t get a chance to do my ROMWOD as I got home so late.

Food Diary, 01.27.16

Guys - yesterday was crazy busy at work! Nothing went the way I had planned it...not bad, just not what I was expecting. As such, my food intake was unusual for me.

Breakfast: Sandwich on repeat...so so good.

Lunch: We had a lunch meeting for a new project I’m on. We went to a nice sushi restaurant and I ordered a Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. It came with Chicken, Veggies, and White Rice (who doesn’t have brown rice?!). I practiced self-control and didn’t eat all the rice.

Dinner...oh dinner....I miss you! It was one of those nights where we kept on plowing through work on my team, and by the time I got home it was too late to consider a proper meal. I had a few cookies (not the best choice, I know).

So, food wasn’t the best. But this is where I am holding myself accountable. I need to be honest with myself and the Tumblr-verse. Talk tomorrow!

This morning I ran, approximately 4.25 miles outside. I was so happy to not be subjected to the treadmill today, as I hate it. It feels so much better to be out in the fresh air, running on real land, on real hills.

My abs are SUPER sore from yesterday’s Crossfit workout. I was hoping that this evening’s ROMWOD would help, but alas, they are still sore. Maybe a night of rest will help? Fingers crossed!

Food Diary, 01.26.16

Today was busy at work, kinda throwing off my dinner plans. However, this is an honest account for my food today.

Breakfast: Kick-ass breakfast sandwich, previously documented (7 SP)

Lunch: Leftover Cheesy Cajun Turkey & Potato Bake (11 SP)

Snacks: Skinny Pop 100 Calorie Bag (3 SP) and one package of ThinAddictives (4 SP).

Total for the day: 25 SP, leaving several to spare. Since it’s late, I’ll have a light snack, but nothing heavy or I won’t be able to sleep!

Who needs fast food when I can make this at home?! This is a repeat of yesterday’s breakfast sandwich. I was getting bored with Oatmeal Muffins and smoothies...turns out this is WAY more satisfying with the same amount of points! (7 SP)

I plan for this to become a weekly post (not daily) but for the first week of this account, I will try to post daily so you can have an idea of what each day looks like for me.

Morning Workout: Crossfit. Today kicked my butt, and I was the last to finish (7:42 Rx). I was a little disappointed to see some of my classmates packing up and leaving before I finished, especially since I wasn’t even pushing up against the time cap! What happened to community bros? Only the ladies cheered me on to finish...

Evening Workout: I finally bit the bullet and signed up for ROMWOD (Range of Motion Workout of the Day). This is a website that provides daily video workouts that implements stretching/yoga/tai chi concepts. The goal is to provide better mobility and quicker recovery. I am optimistic that incorporating a daily mobility session will help re-strengthen my back muscles and provide for greater range of motion.

Breakfast: Homemade Breakfast Sandwich consisting of a whole-wheat English muffin, egg whites, shredded Cheddar, and a couple slices of ham (7 SP).

Lunch: A can of soup - Progresso Chicken Enchilada (which I found to be quite bland...note to self: do not repurchase) (6 SP).

Dinner: Serving of leftover Cheesy Cajun Turkey & Potato Bake, modified from Emily Bites blog (11 SP). One bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower (0 SP).

Snacks: One bag of 100 Calorie Skinny Pop (3 SP). Starbucks - cold brew with 2 pumps of skinny cinnamon dolce syrup and a touch of skim milk (counting as 1 SP). Applesauce (0 SP).

Total SP: 28. This leaves room for a small point dessert, if I really want it. I may skip it tonight
