For the next 30+ days, I will be eating meat, vegetables, healthy fats, fruits and nuts. I will not be eating processed food, sugar, dairy, grains or legumes, and I won’t be consuming any alcohol.

This is not my first Whole30, but this time I want to focus on a couple of specific elements: 1) fewer nuts as snacks and 2) fewer snacks in general. I would like to find the right mix of meals and pre-/post-workout fuel to keep me steady throughout the day.

If you’re doing a Whole30 or other challenge, if you are living/exploring the Paleo lifestyle, or if you are simply looking for some tasty recipes to add to your repertoire, be sure to leave a comment to let me know you’re out there! I am so glad you stopped by!

Food And the day got away. I really meant to have a post-workout meal, but I forgot to bring it with me and didn’t get a chance to eat until lunch. Then something came up in the late afternoon and all I can say is, “Thank goodness for leftovers!” Saved my bacon, so to speak.

Mood I dreamed about peeps! I don’t even like peeps. It was pretty funny. There are certain times during the Whole30 when cravings strike. This was one of those weird times. Otherwise, the mood is up.

Sleep 7 hours. I need to catch up this weekend. Maybe I can find a way to get 8 hours.

Activity Super tough workout today! 40 minutes of intense stuff. I am missing my yoga though.

Focus Lots of water – all good.
