Aaand I'm Back!

Been trying to get into a regular workout routine, but with work and taking care of the family, my time is at an all time premium (story of everyone's life, right!?). Tried Insanity for a few weeks, but I got bored with the videos. Need something else.

However, my eating habits are on point. Been eating Paleo about 90% of the time and when I "cheat" it's at least gluten free. Here are a few of my yummy eats the past few weeks.

Slow cooker Korean short ribs (nomnom paleo recipe) and sweet potato


Lunch- sausage veggie omelet bake, arugula, roasted eggplant, blueberries, avocado


Faux Pho- no noodles


Vietnam omelet (w fish sauce, green onion, and cilantro) w sausage


Salmon, nori, and Chinese broccoli


Marinating meet for bistek


Korean BBQ


Elevation burger w no bun and fries cooked in olive oil


Eggs, salsa, sausage, avocado


Tacos


Cilantro lime chicken vegetable soup



Chicken skin from chicken used in soup fried up in coconut oil


First time trying broiled grapefruit...yum


Spaghetti squash and meatballs


Cheat but so worth it. Popcorn cooked in bacon grease and finished with black truffle salt

Still Going Strong

After the end of my Whole30 challenge, I really didn't know what to do with myself. Had a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast the next day and pretty much went back to old eating habits. I've never had a bad relationship with food and have always been good about listening to what my body needed and then eating it. Before the challenge I naturally stayed away from dairy, reduced my carb intake (less rice and bread at meals) and my need for sweets was almost nonexistent. So, in summary, I really enjoyed the challenge and all the new foods I experimented with, but overall I didn't see any changes in my health or body. For me it was more of a test of will and discipline.

With that being said, I have kept up with my commitment to Crossfit work outs. I can see and feel myself getting stronger. Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks:






In the future I plan on doing a better job tracking my WODs here. Stay tuned.

PS I DID MY FIRST UNASSISTED PULL UP TODAY!!!
