Whole30 Confessionals - Day 4, A Roller Coaster Ride...

Woke up tired, overwhelmed and totally anxious...

Jumped around for an hour with my gymnastics coach at Cats and felt so much better:-)

I finally sat down and planned out my ridiculous travel schedule...

7 cities in 10 days, right in the middle of on the Whole30...

HOLY SHIT, AM I GOING TO MAKE IT???

Anxiety flooded my veins and after I booked all my flights I felt the need to cook because it was as if it was the only thing I could control.

My anxiety dissipated as I made you (my two viewers) this video on how to make 'My Soon to be Famous Curry Lamb Meatballs' and Spaghetti Squash'.

TIP #1: Use any kind of ground protein with this recipe, just make sure you sear the meatballs on all sides. Finish them in the oven when you are ready to eat, 275 degrees for 5-10 minutes, depending on how big your balls you made your ball.

Today's Stats:

Water Consumption:

64 ounces, still feeling bloated & didn't want to drink water:-(

Sleep:

In bed for 7 hours and slept for about 4, not getting better...

Daily Meals:

7:30am - Coconut Milk Latte

10am - 3 Beef Jerky Pieces & Handful of Nuts

1:30pm - Late Lunch: Shredded Cabbage & Veggie Salad with Homemade Cajun Turkey Breast & Avocado

7pm - Dinner: Lamb Curry Meatballs, Spaghetti Squash with 'My Soon to be Famous Homemade Tomato Sauce' on Top of Kale

Just in case your wondering, I made it through another day of the Whole30!!!

Day 1 of the Whole30 Done...

Well, only 29 more days to go...Day 1 wasn't that hard because I spent all yesterday preparing my meals for the week...I mean I love to cook real food very often so the cooking part of the Whole30 is something I'm very excited about...To tell you the truth the hardest thing was not having a drink at the end of the day, but my liver needs a break, especially after this holiday season...

I challenged myself and my ladies CrossFit program in Sept to do the Whole30...The first week was the hardest, but after that I starting noticing I had more energy, I was sleeping better and my gut shrunk, which really means my jeans fit better, which I looked better naked, which really meane I felt sexier and isn't that what any woman wants...I'm 5 days away from my 38th birthday and if I can feel better and look sexier than I did at 25 then I'm going to do whatever it takes and to tell you the truth the Whole30 is all I have to...

So really question is what nutritionally dense food did I prepare this week that is going to make me satiated enough to not crave sugar-dense, gluten-filled foods...

For breakfast, I need on-the-go high in protein finger foods. I wake up early (5am) to coach (6am) and work-out (7am) and if I don't get something in my system right after then I'll crash around 9am which is the time my 'real job' begins. So I made hard-boiled eggs and mini egg McMuffins (without the muffin)...

For lunch I made a herb roasted turkey breast which I will put over salads or make into wraps...Did you know there is a lot of sugar in deli meat, so why not make your own...Next week I'm making pastrami...
