day twenty six

I just can't even believe this is possible. That I'm still so pumped from this. That I feel so stinkin' good. That I could cry from thankfulness from this eye opening last 26 days I have had. Right now I fill like I could totally do another 30 days. How cool is that??? Who saw that coming??? NOT ME. But there's a few too many things that are being affected, so I'm still going to end with the strictness of Whole30, but continue for the most part when I'm on my own. But of course I already have my next month planned out:)

I'm pretty sure my afternoon headaches have disappeared, so that's exciting! I have pretty bad constipation the past few days, and I had in a previous week too. I'm going to try and eat a sweet potato a day and see if that helps. According to the forums it's supposed to, so we'll see!

My workout today was a great arm day. Wish I did a little more cardio, as I have taken three days off, but it was fantastic all the same!

10 mins treadmill, 3 min walk 5% incline, 2 min jog 5% incline, 5 min run 3% incline

12 TRX inverted row
12 barbell curl and press (to eyes, so not all the way up)
15 ab hyper extension machine with weight
(x4)

5 minutes treadmill

12 t-bar row with handle
12 single arm dumbell row
12 single arm preacher curl
(x4)

12 seated cable row machine
12 cable straight pull downs
7 bendy bar curl half up, 7 half down, 7 full curl
12 hammer curl
(x4)

I wish my 6:05am self could always remind my 5:20am self, JUST GET UP. It will be so worth it, I promise! You just don't remember how great it felt yesterday! But you will, you will!!!

Because dayum my bed was warm and cozy and delicious this morning.

But I did it, and am so happy I did!

Tonights dinner was SO delcious. I loved the way my sweet potatoes turned out. I cut the tator into cubes, and spread olive oil over the pieces, along with salt and cinnamon. Then I baked for 20 minutes at 400. Incredibly delicious. AND THEN I had a lettuce burger. Holy moly (GUACAMOLE i should say ;) ) was that good. I put homemade mayo and guac on it (little packs from Costco-definitely a game changer). Then I forced myself to put some tomatoes on there, since I don't like them and am trying desperately to.

 

For some reason I had a Lara bar afterwards. Which I totally didnt' need because my meal was so perefect. But sometimes I'm still weak, and sometimes my new mind reverts back to my old snacking mind. So I'm just going to listen to my new mind a little stronger next time.

 

I also almost had ANOTHER bar after googling paleo desserts last night. WTF is my deal, I knew that would be bad news. But, hey, I didn't have a bar. So that's great news!

 

I also spent almost $25 on cashews last night. Grrr. But worth it. I always pack these little snack packs right after I buy the nuts, and love it. Because it controls my portions, and I just really like being organized so they make me happy. Anal much?

 

Party on!
