Moderators Tom Denham Posted October 15, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 15, 2012 Your veggies look good. However, your breakfast looks too small and too light on protein. The standard is meat as big as the palm of your hand or as many eggs as you can hold in one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom, all guidance gratefully received I train then come to work - so have been packing breakfast that's handy. I guess cooking up some chicken and bringing that would work - or boiled eggs?

sarahd06 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 So I'm on day10 and today has been epic! At the box this morning, strict presses were enjoyable (not said that before) and I PB'd my 3RM. Work, which has been draining of late, has benefitted from a flurry of activity and monster attempts to move things along in a project I've been bogged down in (sadly still quite frustrating but I've taken control!) It sounds really odd, but I feel like I've got a big dose of clarity and focus (after Monday (day 8) when everything was a bit of a fog, starting with turning up at the box without my work clothes - cue lengthy diversion post workout pre work). I've eaten mostly clean paleo (but inclusing dairy) for about 8 months before starting my W30 - so my expectations were that taking out dairy etc wouldn't result in anything massive, but maybe I was wrong wrong wrong Today rocks!

sarahd06 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Day 11 update: After a ropey start - stumbled through my morning routine to get out of the door, the day has just got better and better. Energy is definitely feeling much more consistent through the day and I'm really not feeling the need to snack at all between meals (when for years I've been a morning snack/afternoon snack get home ravenous and graze until supper's ready kinda gal) Loving eating more and not thinking about it Bring on supper and then day 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahd06 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Start of day 12: sleep not so great last night due to mistakenly making caffeinated not DECAFFEINATED coffee after supper. Well, now I know that I can't do that again and sleep well! Strangely I see to go through periods of foggy brain (e.g 'forgetting that I should have been going or the decaf last night) into super clear brain. Interesting.... Training has picked up after a bit of slump last week, interested to see where that goes from here too.... Already thinking of logging more here to refer to when I do this again....although it's got it's ups and downs I'm really enjoying the experiment. Day 12 and the weekend ahead, here we come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahd06 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 So day 15 already! Second weekend successfully negotiated (even if it meant passing on our next door neighbour's wedding anniversary party). This morning at the gym, found the WOD harder than I thought I would - had to go lighter than I planned on the weight, but that's just one of those things. Total upside ripped a callous last week - first part Tuesday and the other bit went on Friday and it's healing really really fast - could this be at least partly down to the eating cleaner? So far today then Pre WOD Boiled egg, fistful almonds Post WOD Sweet potato, sardines Breakfast Turkey mince cooked in coconut oil with apple, onion and spices - spicy green beans in coconut milk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbly Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Turkey mince with apple sounds nice. Think I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahd06 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 So, turns out today is a hungry day! Lunch Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, leftover pork and chicken, sugar snap peas 5 dates in a teaspoon(ish) of hazlenut butter Hopefully that'll see me through Re the turkey mince - just fried up some onion, then added some grated apple and then the turkey mince with some cinnamon and nutmeg for good measure. I ate it cold at my desk and it was still nummy, but better hot (ah, the pains for being 20 floors away from the nearest microwave!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahd06 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Day16.... So supper last night was an awesom piece of tuna steak cooked perfectly medium rare by my lovely husband with some roasted carrots, fried mushrooms and boiled asparagus berries with coconut milk and toasted almonds Today has started on a buzzy high, slightly freaking some of my buddies in crossfit class out! Pre WOD Boiled egg, fistful almonds Post WOD Sweet potato, tuna Breakfast Turkey mince cooked in coconut oil with apple, onion and spices Cocoa toasted cauliflower (upped the volumes given yesterday I got hungry before lunchtime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahd06 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well, guess what?, yup eating more at breakfast meant I didn't feel hungry all the way through until lunch, which was: Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, homemade sauerkraut (feisty!), leftover pork and chicken, sugar snap peas and pumpkin seed butter Have to say that I'm so enjoying the liberation from the scales and the principal that eating more (of good things) is a good thing. Year and years of conditioning that less is good hasn't been that hard to let go of personally when the evidence in how you feel speaks for itself.

sarahd06 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hello day 17! Feeling chipper this morning, sleep is good and deep and everything is peachy despite a stressy few days with family stuff. Yesterday supper then was Cocoa chili with roasted squash and sweet potato Handful or two of nuts Day 17 log so far: Pre WOD Boiled egg, fistful almonds Post WOD Sweet potato, tuna Breakfast Turkey mince cooked in coconut oil with apple, onion and spices with spicy almond green beans with a few chestnuts Lifting this morning at the gym - strength was there definitely but tekkers sadly not!!! Feeling great anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbly Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yay for feeling chipper! Hope the rest of the week goes well. I've bought some cocoa, I need to get in on some cocoa chilli and cocoa cauliflower action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahd06 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Lunch yesterday was Lettuce, cucumber, that homemade sauerkraut, more leftover pork and chicken, cucumber, tomatoes 5 dates and hazelnut butter Supper Remains of the chilli with a load of pan fried courgettes and roasted carrots Couple handfuls of nuts Today was funny - was home alone for supper and the nuts were pre chilli, bit of a habit throwback, but now I've realised that and will be conscious of it again. Day 18 has started well - tekkers day at the box so lots of nice whip marks from double unders (or not, as the case may be) and a frustrating time with snatch tekkers - bruised left butt cheek from repeatedly falling on it! Wish the W30 could improve technique as well as strength! Breakfast Cocoa cauliflower with baked bacon bits 2 boiled eggs Back to the spreadsheets!

sarahd06 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 So then, lunch (in the middle of a brain testing busy day) Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, smoked mackerel and then some sugar snap peas with almond butter Energy levels are levelling pretty constantly across the day - I've been super productive which makes a nice change, even if I'm getting inwardly shouty with numbers and spreadsheets Can't really believe it's day 18 already.....and I think even my colleagues are getting used to the food choices - although every day the cry goes up "that's not breakfast"!

sarahd06 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Supper last night was chicken breast with some W30 compliant chorizo fried up with onion, courgette and pepper. Nice! Had a few raspberries that were in danger of going mouldy and a handful of nuts. Was heading for nuts before supper but, armed with my new self awareness stopped myself - happy! Today then, the usual pre WOD, egg and almonds and post WOD sweet potato and tuna Breakfast - 2 boiled eggs, spicy green beans in coconut milk Been a tough week of programming this week, but have dealt with it well I think. No PBs, but dealing with the workload well. I'm definitely a happy bunny this sunny Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahd06 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 So, last lunch of my working week: Lettuce, beetroot, cucumber,tomato, smoked mackerel Mixed nuts and raspberries Americano at lunch - have been working this week on breaking the link between food/drink and rewards, self awareness being the key to so much of this. So this lunchtime whilst I was out and about I got a coffee just because I'd enjoy it. So much healthier attitude wise. Really enjoying he way the W30 has given me cause to re-examine the realtionship I have with what I consume - another unexpected benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
