I did have two no-no's today by Whole30 standards that hopefully shouldn't happen again. This morning I woke up late and the only thing I had to grab for breakfast was a paleo friendly fruit and nut bar. It would've been okay if it weren't for the honey in it, which is not allowed during the Whole30. Then, after my workout, I knew I needed to get some protein in me as soon as possible. I just couldn't stomach eating anything solid after such an intense workout so I opted for my Progenex Recovery protein shake. My no-no's were at least healthy choices, just not Whole30 approved. I plan on being better prepared in the future and stocking up on some on-the-go items so I don't have to settle for poor choices. I also hope that, as I'm getting in better shape, I won't have to rely on a protein shake after my workouts.. or at least can get some ingredients so that I can make some homemade versions.
Today's lunch was sooo good, and entirely simple. I grilled a couple turkey burgers and topped them with avocado. Then had a side salad that included spinach, kale, onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers and black olives with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It was fantastic! This afternoon I plan to take some chili my husband made (with no beans) to work with me. I'll also probably bring some almonds and strawberries to have as a snack if needed.
Now, moving on to my beginning measurements. I've went back on forth on whether I was going to share these now or wait until the end and post them with my results. However, I figured this would be the best way to hold myself accountable, no matter how embarrassed I may be by these numbers. So here we go, my starting measurements are.....
Weight: 191.6lbs
Body Fat: 26.5%
Waist: 38"
Lower Abs (aka my BIGGEST problem area): 44"
Hips: 43"
Left Thigh: 25.5"
Right Thigh: 26"
Chest: 44"
Right Arm: 12.5"
Left Arm: 13"
I forgot to have my husband take a "Before" picture for me this morning, so I will do that tomorrow but probably won't post it until the end with my "After" picture. My next task is to hide my scale so I don't obsess over weighing myself everyday. That's all I've got for now.. so wish me luck!
