Jane called me out about my nutrition which made me realize that many of you are probably also wonder what to do be, during or after you workout.
More information to come about pre, post and/or during nutrition, but don't wait for me. You need to start doing something now or you won't get the most of your workout and it'll take longer for you to recover.

After a long trip, it was so nice to be in back in kitchen!
I know you are wondering what I made for my first meal back...
I'm so glad I held off from eating the Fish n' Chips at that restaurant in NY. My Whole30 Approved Fish n' Chip recipe was so much better, plus I didn't feel guilty after I scarfed it down:)

Thank goodness I had a healthy lunch before walking the streets because this was a street a used to walk when I was a younger and was very tempted from a few of my go-to spots...
The Soup Nazi, from the Seinfeld, really serves up amazing soup...
Pick-A-Bagel, probably one of the best NY bagel shops in NYC...
A hot dog or pretzel from any NY stand, totally nostalgically delicious:-(
Anyhow, bypassed all that and checked out our product at Whole Foods.
Then hit the salad bar and got some snacks for the trip home tomorrow.
Then headed to see 'Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night', which I highly recommend. It was't your average Broadway musical. Actually there was't much singing or dancing at all.

My body couldn't go to sleep because my body didn't know what time zone it was in:-(
Cindy (7 RFT - 5 Pullups/10 Pushups/ 15 Air Squats)
After the WOD, I headed to my massage and then wondered through the streets of NYC for food.
I must admit I was really craving NY pizza...
Wouldn't you if you saw this beautiful array of pies...???
But, no I didn't cave into temptation. I stayed focused and strong and when there are too many food choices, I stuck with what I know is Whole30 Compliant and to tell you truth I could eat sashimi everyday if I had too.
Today's Stats Water Consumption:
100 oz - I need to drink more water:-)
Sleep:
8 hours
I went to bed early and was able to sleep-in a little:-)
1:30pm - On the Plane, Salmon Salad (bought at Wolfgang Puck O'Hare Airport), Homemade Chicken Salad and Dressing 4pm - Handful Macadamia Nuts
10pm EST (9pm CST/8pm MST/7pm PST): Salad, Hamachi Collar & Sashimi Sounds like a late dinner, but my time zones are all out of whack, my body has NO idea what time it is, I just eat when I'm hungry...
If you could eat sashimi everyday on the Whole30, would you?
A post I didn't want to post, but don't judge me...
I'm only human...
Anyhow, I'm bak on track and started my day back on the Whole30 with my morning routine...
A Coconut Milk Latte made in my Mini Magic Bullet:-)
Then went to CrossFit Foundry in Chicago for a really fun barbell team WOD.
If you were at Boulder CrossFit on Saturday May 23rd, we did a similarly formatted Team WOD.
My teammate Tiffany and I kicked some major booty. Thanks Tiffany, I felt so much better about myself after our workout together:-)
Went back to my hotel room, had a quick bite to eat, caught up on some work and went to the NRA show, where I was going to be tempted left & right with all kinds of food.
The NRA show is not just about food & drink, it's also about showcasing equipment that makes it very convenient and cost effective for restaurateurs to operate.
Went to dinner at Bottlefork (in North River Chicago) with my team, but couldn't eat what they ordered, so I just chilled as they dined. I must say, I would like to go back there when I'm not on the Whole30 because it looked & smelled delicious.
Dining Out Tip
Check the menu of the restaurant you will be dining at and pick what to eat before you go. If, like me, see anything on the menu, eat something before you go out and if you are still hungry eat something after.
After dinner with the team, I went across the street to Roka Akor, and ate something Whole30 compliant...
I must say, that out of all the sashimi I've eaten over the past week, Roka Akor is by far the best, so if you check this place out if you are in Chicago, especially if you're on the Whole30.

What do you think... Should I start all over or continue back on track...??? What would you do?
I can't believe I actually made it through security with 3 mini cans of coconut milk and my homemade basil sauce. I froze them overnight which I think was the key to my success:-)
I was pretty anxious going to this industry party because I knew I was going to be tempted with delicious food and drinks...
Today's Stats Water Consumption:
110 oz - I need more water

I actually got a bed last night, thanks Michelle, but the background noise was kind of loud as they the ladies leg wrestled, so it took me awhile to get to bed:-(
Went to CrossFit Invictus, owned by CJ Martin, one of the top coaches and boxes in the US.
After class I went to Sprouts to buy some Whole30 approved food.
Eggs-To- Go
Pulled Chicken Breast
Raw Chicken Breast - to make chicken salad
Decided to walk back to the house from CrossFit Invictus, 3.5 miles and a bag of groceries that weighed about 25 pounds, talk about a farmer's carry...
You have no idea how badly I had to go...
I'm so lucky I found a porto potty:-)
Played kickball on the beach with ladies.
Gifted Nikki Panties and other toys.
Halfway through my trip and the Whole30, I need to take advantage of the kitchen so I made a chicken salad to take with me to Chicago & New York.
Today's Stats Water Consumption:
100 oz - I need more water
Sleep:
5 1/2 hours
Slept on the couch with a lot of loud screaming, dancing ladies around:(
I'm not going to lie, traveling on the Whole30 takes a lot of preparation and I think I went a little overboard, but 5 flights, 8 cities in 10 days...I'd rather take the time to set myself up for success than not and fail.
Plus, I'm going to document it for you so of you are ever in this situation, you'll have some kind of guide to follow:-)
What I prepared for my trip...
Starting from upper left container: Homemade kale chips, roasted veggies (asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli), homemade toasted sunflower seeds, homemade ginger coconut milk basil pesto sauce, snap peas and dijon mustard (no sugar) and homemade poached chicken & egg salad with olives dressed in my homemade ginger coconut milk basil pesto sauce.
I also bringing my homemade beef jerky (not in the picture).
8:30pm - Dinner: Sashimi (Salmon, Tune & Octopus) with Avocado & Tomatoes and some bites of my chicken & egg salad Had dinner late because of Oly Club:-)
