Whole30 Strong

Good afternoon, let's talk about me!

 

I've been doing a part-time version of Whole30 for a long time. Some months may be Whole15, other may be more like Whole8.

 

Seems as if I may have continued down this wishy-washy path indefinitely.

 

But then I started lifting heavy things. And I liked it.

 

In April I participated in a Tactical Strength Contest. This contest is held on the same day in gyms all over the world. It is comprised of 3 events, the deadlift, the pull-up and how many kettle-bell snatches can be completed in 5 minutes.

 

Here I am dead-lifting my max weight of 235 lbs. All contestants are weighed before the contest begins. I was 138 lbs.

I also completed 1 pull-up and 115 kettle-bell snatches in 5 minutes.

 

I entered the Masters division, for people over 50 years old (I'm 59). When the results were tallied, I ranked 15th in the International Women's Masters Division. 

 

I was happy with my results because I trained hard. 

 

But what if I had cleaned up my diet? What if I stopped eating the cookies and cupcakes and all the rest of it. What if I drank Perrier instead of Pinot Noir? What more could I have achieved?

 

Lucky for me, these questions don't have to stay unanswered. The Tactical Strength Challenge is held every 6 months, the next one is on October 1.

 

11 weeks from now, 77 days.

Consistent training + Whole30 = ????

 

Time to find out...

Day 1 begins..

In about an hour I'm heading to a hot yoga class. Maybe I can sweat out some of the cake and wine toxins that remain in my body! 

 

I have a love/hate relationship with bikram yoga. The classes are a good compliment to kettle-bell and strength classes. I know I am more flexible when I do a consistent practice but dang, they're hard! 

 

Yesterday I cleaned out my fridge and went grocery shopping. I'm stocked with Whole30 foods.

 

Off I go to sweat and bend...
