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!

This week’s focus: Post-workout nutrition.

5:00 Black coffee

8:45 Roasted eggplant and radicchio, 2 eggs

10:30 Post-workout Spicy Tuna cup

2:00 Salad and meatloaf

4:00 Curried sweet potato soup, apple

6:30 Banh-mi meatballs and Cilantro-Lime Coconut Cauliflower Rice

Food I felt really balanced around food today. Maybe the cravings have moved on?

Mood Much better today. I might be tired but at least my mood is heading back up.

Sleep 5 1/2 hours. My husband sneezed at 3:30 and then…we were up. Oh well – there’s always tonight!

Activity Crossfit workout – fun, hard. I was a little distracted but at least I moved. A workout is always a good idea!

Focus Post-workout snack: Done!
