Hey y'all! Guess what?! I'm doing another Whole30! This is my fourth one. After reading Primal Body-Primal Mind by Nora Gedgaudas, I've decided the Hubs and I should approach this Whole30 with her suggestions in mind. That means that we are skipping the sweet potatoes and fruit this time around in an attempt to really find the elusive ketosis. I am a little nervous about being so low carb and doing CrossFit, but I won't know how it works until I try it. The key here is to eat PLENTY OF FAT (for fuel) and a moderate amount of protein.
Here I've been pushing myself lately to eat a lot of protein...
I think with my activity level (CF 3-4 times per week plus other things like running, rock wall climbing...etc) I am safe to still eat around 100g of protein a day. As long as I am eating a TON of fat too.
My goal is to see my abs when this over. I've gotten stronger and leaner, but just need to remove that little layer of fat. It's ON!
I thought this would be a good time to take progress pictures too. I had taken some when I first started CrossFit in November 2012 and hadn't taken any since. My husband took them for me and I looked at them immediately said "I look the same! Nothing has changed!" Later I used my PicStitch app to put the old pictures next to the new ones and I could really see a difference then! The biggest differences I noticed were in my posture and my thighs! I'm really sorry, as much as I want to show them off, I'm too nervous to post pictures of myself in tiny shorts and and a sports bra all over the interwebs... Y'all will have to trust me that my progress has been good. I plan to take the same pictures again in 30 days. I can't wait!
Oh yeah, I'm also tracking my food on My Fitness Pal. I know that tracking during a Whole30 is a no-no, but I've done 3 of them without tracking and feel pretty confident that it won't effect how I eat. Also, I want to be sure to keep my carbs are low enough and that I am eating enough fat. And I'm a curious person, so I want DATA.
So, here's my menu for week 1:
2) Waldorf Tuna Salad *obviously there's a litte fruit in here, but it's less than half an apple/svg.
3) Skillet Taco Pie w/homemade guacamole
5) Hard Boiled Eggs/Egg Salad
6) Smoked Sausage w/Kraut (I just fry up a little uncured smoked pork sausage from the farm with some Bubbie's Kraut)
