sunnytropic Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Day 1 in the books. Snack (didn't set the slow cooker for dinner soon enough so it was going to be 7 hrs between meals)- hard boiled egg, small handful of grape tomatoes, and macadamia nuts Meal 3- slow cooker beef brisket, smashed potatoes with ghee, roasted broccoli with olive oil; lettuce & tomato with mayo/mustard/garlic vinaigrette. After meal 2 I felt really foggy and tired but went out to run an errand and felt better getting some fresh air. Also spent 35 min in the gym this AM and did 20 min on the treadmill and a 15 min strength circuit. Didn't do a PWO but never felt hungry during the day.

sunnytropic Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Forgot about my pre/post WO meals- pulled pork with coconut oil/pulled pork with sweet potato. Also, today was the first day I didn't feel like I *needed* a caffeine pick me up in the afternoon and I didn't have one. Been sleeping better the past few weeks too, looking at my fitbit stats I am consistently getting 30-60 minutes more of sleep each night than pre-Whole30.
