3/10 Check-In

[spellingbea]

Day 9. Right now, not much is keeping me motivated. My first whole30 was much easier--I think what kept me going was being able to prove to myself I could do it. Now it's like "hey, you already know you can do this, so let's go ahead and eat a pizza", lol. I haven't caved, but I'm hanging by a thread.

B: banana and almond butter
L: TCMTG Greek beef stew
D: leftover smoked pork shoulder I'll use for taco salad

D24. I think having food prepped is keeping me motivated. This has been a really busy last couple of weeks and having lunches packed (salad jars) over the weekend and veggies prepped has made me life so much easier. I don't usually love hardboiled eggs for breakfast but it is all the time I have had in the morning so I am so happy to have that to grab instead of something that will make me feel like crap later.

B: 2 hb eggs + handful of cherry tomatoes
L: salad jar with spinach, roasted peppers and roasted onions, salsa chicken. Blood orange
D: beef vegetable soup. (my mom is amazing and is over this week and is making a HUGE thing of this soup for me W30 compliant. I am hoping to freeze individual portions for quick meals in the future. AND I'm taking it to a friend with a new baby tomorrow.)
Pre-workout: If needed I have a cashew larabar. I don't think it is probably 100% in line with W30 ideals but this nursing mom might need a bit more fuel today before teaching cycle.

Post W30

We're going on a vacation in April so that's motivating me in the short term! I started CrossFit again which makes me want to eat healthy too so that I feel good working out and see results.

B: Scrambled eggs and iced coffee w/ half and half
L: Chipotle
D: Thai Chicken Coconut soup w/ diced avocado

W40

Eating motivates me because I am so lazy and never exercise. This makes me feel like I am in control of at least one aspect of my life.

B. Egg-bacon-veggie scramble
L. asparagus soup
D. chicken enchiladas (mine are in a mini bell pepper, husbands are in a tortilla), salad

Day 10

I'm feeling great which is keeping me motivated also, vanity. I'm expecting to see some people soon whom I haven't seen in years (10+?) and just really want to look my best and feel fit and strong.

B: bacon, banana and coffee
L: chicken veggie soup and a few cashews - this is a huge deal for me that I can eat "just a few" now as opposed to not being able to stop before!
S: spaghetti squash with ground beef in pasta sauce and more coffee
