kirlywurly Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Love reading these logs! How did your cross fit go? Sounds like your doing great, how have u been feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmsie Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hey kirlywurly, Aw thank you! CrossFit is AMAZING! Absolutely loving it, and I think its giving me extra motivation to stick with the Whole30, nothing like great nutrition to support athletic performance I'm feeling really good, the headaches of the first few days are gone, as are the cravings. Halfway through Day 10 and I feel like I'm really starting to find my groove. How about you, what day are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirlywurly Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm on day 9- started March 1st.. Coming up to (what's meant to be) the hardest few days. I've got a few days off work so hopefully can easily get through these. My first few days were full on tiredness and I'm still experiencing tummy issues but I figure that's the detoxing. Otherwise I feel great. Im a self confessed control freak so I'm really enjoying tht aspect of the whole 30! I started insanity classes and my teacher does cross fit... I was thinking about it but I'm so weak think I'm more of a yoga/ running girl but I'll never say never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmsie Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 We are a third of the way through this already... madness! I know, I can't believe it! Very motivating I'm on day 9- started March 1st.. Coming up to (what's meant to be) the hardest few days. I've got a few days off work so hopefully can easily get through these. My first few days were full on tiredness and I'm still experiencing tummy issues but I figure that's the detoxing. Otherwise I feel great. Im a self confessed control freak so I'm really enjoying tht aspect of the whole 30! I started insanity classes and my teacher does cross fit... I was thinking about it but I'm so weak think I'm more of a yoga/ running girl but I'll never say never! Aw cool that's great timing, days off are great to get some solid cooking and food prep in, making the rest of the week so much easier. Yeah I had tummy things too, but it's really faded in the last couple of days so persevere - it will get better! Haha, brilliant! I like the black and whiteness of it, not good with everything in moderation. I love insanity, I have the DVDs and recently got the Asylum one as well, but they've taken a back seat to CrossFit right now. Aw no, go for it! There are such a mixture of people who go to mine, it really is for everyone (in my opinion, no pressure of course). Besides, no one is born strong...

Emmsie Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 DAY 11 BREAKFAST - omelette (4 eggs, ghee, parma ham, peppers), lettuce, tomatoes, water SNACK - berry nakd bar, dates, peppermint tea, water LUNCH - beef, broccoli, sugarsnap peas and carrots, water, dates, peppermint tea, 3 nakd bars (2x gingerbread, 1 berry) SNACK - berry nakd bar, mixed nuts and raisins DINNER - chicken, vegetable and cashew stir fry in coconut oil (yum!), water, peppermint tea, gingerbread nakd bar, dates I did an experiment today with lunch to see how easy it was to find Whole30 compliant prepared meat, partly through curiosity and...partly through preparation laziness The answer, in my local Waitrose, is VERY DIFFICULT! So much meat had added sugar, even the organic stuff. It made me annoyed and sad. Eventually though I did find some beef that was just beef and salt and left the store rather disillusioned. Tuesday is my busiest and longest work day (I'm a dance teacher and on Tuesdays I do an 11 hour day, the beginning of which is admin and then 5 back to back classes from 3:30pm-9pm. This is why I have incorporated snacks into my day, but today, I either underestimated my hunger levels, or didn't plan very good snacks, and if I'm honest felt the first cravings of the program, particularly for chocolate and biscuits (neither of which I had - phew!), resulting in a major nakd bar and date fest. I refuse to self sabotage after so many good days, so tomorrow I will not have any dates or nakd bars, as I clearly cannot be trusted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirlywurly Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm still waiting for my 'tiger blood'! I have real trouble finding sausages (would be nice to have for convenience) they either have sugar or sulphites in! The only deli meat is Parma ham that I've found. Lidl also do a smoked salmon which is totally compliant, nice thick slices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to up my food intake tomorrow (of non dried fruit products) to see if that makes it any better. Underestimated the busyness of this week, and now wishing I'd prepped more. Oh well, always a lesson to learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
