Day 30 is winding down and coming to a close.
I am so glad I did it and proud of myself for seeing it through.....finally!
I feel so good that my food-itude has changed. I am no longer a prisoner, shackled and bound by the emotional eating that has claimed so much of my life. SCORE!
I honestly do not crave anything, I don't want to go out and gorge myself or sneak a "naughty" treat.
I am happy to say, I am chill. I am good. I am free! And best of all, I am gray!
I feel confident and relaxed at the same time. I feel like equilibrium has been restored and I can just "be". It is pretty cool, actually.
It has been a pretty great day. Not only is it FRIDAY, but I worked from home today and got to stay in my boxer sleep shorts and tank top all day long; I was able to listen to Alice Chill all day and I made decent headway in my workload and was happy with what I came up with production-wise.
I ate well all day and had an enormous salad. I forgot how good salads are. It seems like it has been forever since I had a homemade salad. I am definitely going to start re-incorporating my old pal back into my daily eats.
It was made with baby spring mix, cucumber, tomato, white onion, green olives, and salmon.
Yum!
I usually forgo the salad dressing, and I did so today as well. It has enough flavor on its own. Normally, if I do top it off with something it is EVOO, sliced avocado, or a little blend of EVOO and balsamic vinegar.
I did not get dressed until I ran to the Organic market next to the apartment to grab some tahini, Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats (just in case I get a hankering for them at some point), and Muir Glen Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes for the dinner I made tonight, and some of Bob's Red Mill Coconut Flakes.
FINALLY...coconut flakes that are just coconut and not a lot of added preservatives and other nonsense.
Then I came home to put my stuff away and threw on my CrossFit clothes.
Tonights WOD:
50 Jump Squats
20 Pull Ups
50 Box Jumps
30 Sit Ups
30 Lunges
50 KettleBell Swings (25#)
20 Bastard Burpees
1 minute of Battling Ropes
I attempted to time myself, but the stopwatch stopped at :12.
I wish.
I am figuring it took me somewhere between 18-20 minutes due to the time I arrived and left.
I felt a little stronger, faster, and more energetic today.
I think it was the salad.
I know that sounds silly, but I think it was. My diet today wasn't so meat and protein heavy but was more veggie dense than it has been in the past couple weeks. I think I was focusing too much on protein and not enough on more veggies.
Lesson learned.
Well, I am pretty gross right now as I cam home and had my post WOD sweet potato whilst cooking dinner and I have yet to wash the stink and dirt (thank you burpees!) from my bod.
That being said, I am posting my Food Journal and then signing off!
M1: Banana, Strawberry, and Coconut Milk Smoothie; 2 hard boiled eggs; 1 TSP Lemon Fish Oil
M2: Large Salad with Baby Spring Mix, onion, tomato, cucumber, green olives, and salmon I made yesterday. (It made 2 large servings, so I ate one and put the other away for later).
M3: Apple, leftover salad, 1 TBS Tahini
M4: Sweet Potato
M5: Garden Vegetable Tomato Sauce with Meatballs; 3 TBS Coconut Flakes
Hope everyone has a fun and safe Friday night! Starting CF Endurance tomorrow! Should be fun.
