Whole30 - Day 3

18 Jan 2012

A solid 8 hours of sleep. Felt good heading to CFC for the morning training. Made a great breakfast that lasted me from 10:30 until 6:30p. Feeling well and my energy level is consistent. Onwards!

Breakfast: 3 eggs, 3 oz pan pudding (like scrapple without the corn meal), 1/2 apple, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 pepper, 1 cup cooked kale/turnip greens, 5 brussel sprouts

Lunch: 1/2 pepper w/ 1/2 tomato, 1/2 cup cauliflower, 3 oz Pot Roast

Dinner: Big Ass Salad - 4 oz pork tenderloin and a whole hell of a lot of every veggie I could find. No measuring here. It's all raw - almost impossible to eat too much. 2 servings olive oil. 1/2 can of olives

Snacks: 4 tbsp Almond Butter, 4 celery sticks, 10 dates, 1 apple

Training:

WOD - 75 situps, 6 rounds of tabata push jerks @ 25% bodyweight (45 lbs), 75 situps = 7:55.  Not bad, but my sit-ups suck. Time to get to work.

Hang Squat Clean, 3 progressive, 2 drop = 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 85kg / 80, 80

Front Squat 115 x 3 x 2 = 115kg Fail, 115kg, Fail - Took the weight into a quarter squat and called it. Was going to be a struggle after 2 big days and a couple good WOD's. Decided to tackle it another day.

Taking on the Whole30!

Today is my first day of taking on the Whole30 Challenge. This is a eating program designed to clean out the system and resetting hormones by eliminating common allergens like grains, beans, diary, and added sugars. There is, of course, more to it but that's the basics. Since I already eat a Primal/Paleo diet as my base only the removal of dairy is the major change for me. That and I won't be enjoying any of Miss Stacey's delicious gluten-free baked goods for 30 days. I'll post my measurements as soon as I get them taken. In the meantime, I'll try to log my food intake and training over the course and compare them all at the end.
