From Jan 1 – 31 I’m doing a strict paleo (Whole30) challenge with my CrossFit box. I decided to journal the month in food on here (in addition to normal posting) after getting a huge positive response on my Facebook page. I’m also going to detail the amount of sleep I got, the workout for the day and any other relevant notes. I’ll only detail drinks when it’s something other than water or tea, but note that I typically drink 80-100 ounces of water a day. I’ll link to recipes (either mine or other people’s) when applicable, but I don’t usually cook from recipes for myself so if you leave a comment asking for the recipe for something, there is none unless otherwise noted.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Notes for the day:
Today was the first day I craved my typical afternoon dark chocolate snack. Like hard. I shoved hot tea down my throat instead.
Sleep:
9 hours
Workout:
CrossFit (modified leg wod again. My legs are wasted since that’s about all I can do right now)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Breakfast:
1/2 grapefruit
almond/coconut flour breakfast bake (kind of like this except paleo-ized)
blueberries
almond butter
coffee with coconut cream
Lunch:
turkey burger
1/2 avocado
balsamic roasted zucchini & peppers
Dinner:
sage chicken thighs with sautéed apples & onions
raw cabbage & carrot salad with a variation of sunshine sauce
Snacks:
mixed nuts & dried fruit
i find pomegranates to taste better than chocolate – do you like those?
Yes, if someone gets all the seeds out for me. You volunteering? ;)
All of that food looks good, as usual :)
Thank you so much for posting your meals while doing the Whole30. Following you through the process is helping me stay on track and get additional meal ideas. I made the Pumpkin Pancakes today and plan to make the Breakfast Bake tomorrow.
Aw, I bet your legs are feeling the pain! That was like when I injured my knee all I did was core and upper body stuff. My abs have never been in so much pain. Carob, is it allowed on paleo? I can’t remember. Live the look of that cabbage salad, definitely a must try!
Carob? did you misread “Carrot”? didn’t eat any carob ;) Seriously, I can barely walk today my legs are in so much pain! haha
No, no I was thinking as a replacement for your chocolate craving! The day I mix up carob and carrot is the day I know I’m going mad!
Looks good, I think I could do this lifestyle. Lots of variations.
