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.

Whole30 Day 18 - Finally Heading Home:-)

I'm heading home with my top tips when traveling on the Whole30...

I love coming back home to NYC/NJ, but I can't wait to get back to Boulder, CO:-)

I packed up my stuff, especially my food and headed to the airport.

Well, it happened...

TSA finally took some of my food and at this point in time I didn't even want to argue. All I wanted to do was get home, so I just let her take. She said she confiscated it because it was a 'creamy substance'. What did she take...??? She took a can of coconut milk, my homemade pesto sauce and guacamole.

I was so happy to make it bad home just in time for Oly Club at Roots!!!

Whole30 Day 17 - WF NE meeting to Another Day in NYC...

Good Morning NYC:-)

After my Whole Foods meeting meeting I worked out at CrossFit Hell's Kitchen...

WOD: Double Grace (60 Clean & Jerks #95/135)

Then I went to Times Square, stood in line for Broadway tickets. 

You can get 40%-60% off face-value tickets the day of the show if you have time to wait in line.

Then walked to Whole Foods Market Columbus Circle to check out our products and grab some Whole30 approved snacks.

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.
