Greg Blakley Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hello, My wife and I are starting the journey that is our first whole 30 today. We have been eating clean for the last 3 weeks for the most part with the exception of a few beers when we are hanging out with friends. We had a cinco de mayo party yesterday and I got all of the junk eating out of my system. Chips, tacos, beer, and margaritas! We are ready to get going to take control of our eating habits and live a cleaner, healthier life. Losing a couple of lbs. wouldn't hurt either. I also made it a goal during this process to work out at least 4 days a week consistently. Day 1 Breakfast. -bacon, sweet potato, and leek frittata -1/2 small avocado -1 cup of black coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Blakley Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Day one is almost in the books and went well. For lunch I did a salad with plenty of veggies and salsa with some leftover Carne Asada from yesterday with half of an avocado I was in a bind for my pre workout snack and had to resort to the apple pie Larabar I had in my bag. Didn't want to but I was unprepared. I will from here on out ensure that I have packed enough food to get me through the day. Dinner was chicken breast over steamed mini zucchinis covered by a tasty pesto sauce my wife whipped up. Did 45 minutes of moderate intensity cardio all in all it went well and I am looking forward to the next 29 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Blakley Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Day two went without a hitch, had somewhat of an afternoon crash before my workout but snapped out of it after my pre-workout snack. I had forgotten the exact parameters for pre and post workout meals, so I need to work on those a little better. Had another good workout today, then came home and mowed half of my big old lawn with the push mower. All in all it was a good day! Day 2 Bacon, Leek and onion frittata w/ 1/2 avocado Leftover chicken breast with steamed zucchini and hm pesto Pre-workout- Apple and small handfull of cashews/coconut flakes Post workout- HM beef jerky coconut flakes Dinner- Chocolate Chili with avocado and onions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calee Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Good luck to you and your wife! You're off to a good start. I'm looking forward to trying that Chocolate Chili. I'm not eating beef. Do you think it would work well with Turkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
