Still going...

I just haven't been posting. I remembered (again) how much I hate food journaling. Plus I've been on my own most meals this week, so I haven't been making anything interesting. But I'm still on.

I've been eating too much dried fruit and nuts and coconut chips. I found these (the original ones are compliant) and they're crunchy and addictive.

My foot has been aching lately. I'm trying to stay off it for a few days and see if it's just overuse. It feels like it might be muscular.


(just a note months later - I think I lasted about 20something days, then a bunch of life-shit happened, and I decided I needed to have a beer and have some fun with M more than I needed to finish another W-30, and I stopped blogging about it)

w30-6-d3

Had a medical exam for insurance today and the examiner's scale echoed the one I used on Saturday, so I've confirmed that the gym scale is off by about 5lbs, and I will be staying away from it from now on. I'm about 8lbs over my ideal weight. Which I haven't seen in years.

Today:

--- upper body (legs were still feeling sore, so I decided to push biking to another day)
Sweet potato pancake, ab, blueberries, coffee
Guacamole w/veggies
snacked on fruit and almonds and coconut chips
Mushroom stuffed grilled trout, salad

I did too much snacking today. I'm light w/work right now so I'm bored. So I snack. Need to stop that.

Tomorrow:

--- yoga, run or bike depending on how I feel and the weather
mushroom omelette
guacamole w/veggies (have leftovers from today), smoothie (have coconut milk to use up)
salmon patties (made today), tomato & cucumber salad

W30-6-2

I feel much better today. I checked the W30 timeline and day 4 is one that is often really crappy, and yesterday was my 4th day of not eating "normally". Slept badly again. Less hungry.

my day:

Sweet potato pancake (based on this recipe), almond butter, coffee  (I can't remember the last time I had a regular pancake, at least 5 years, so I don't think pancakes are a problem for me)
--- yoga
Guacamole with veggies, fruit
Salmon nicoise salad


tomorrow's plan:
--- bike at gym
Sweet potato pancake, ab, coffee
Guacamole with veggies, fruit
Mushroom stuffed trout, tomato cucumber salad

W30 day 1 - take 6?

I've lost count. I don't know how many times I've done this.

Today I'm exhausted, hungry and have a headache. Maybe sugar withdrawl after all the juice. I didn't sleep well again last night. Hopefully I'll get back to good sleep in a few days like I usually do.

I weighed myself at the trainer gym today and it said -4 from my regular gym. I feel leaner.

My stomach definitely has shrunk. I've gotten full quickly (except my post-workout meal), and then get hungry in a few hours.

And I realized anew how annoying all the cleanup after cooking is. That was a nice part of juice.

My day:

Coffee, apple, almond butter (I noticed I used a lot less almond butter than I usual would)
----15 mile bike ride plus 1 hour weights
Spinach omelette (2 eggs), 1/2 avocado
Larabar (I was still really hungry after lunch)
egg salad (1 hb egg, mayo (I'm not getting mayo crazy this time, when I make it it goes bad and I'm just not going to stress over canola oil)), red pepper
Salmon, roast cauliflower, sweet potato (I ended up eating half my dinner. I just got full very quickly)

I expect I'm going to need to eat something else before bed.

Tomorrow's plan:

Cauliflower frittata, leftover sweet potato, coffee
---- yoga, maybe bike if I'm not too sore (I haven't had a rest day in a while)
Fruit smoothie (coconut milk based)
Snack on veggies if hungry
Big salad (whatever I get at the farmer's market) with leftover salmon
