Good day, good people! Today is day three of the Whole30 January challenge and I’m still alive! Granted, I’m probably still running on all the crap I ate during the holidays, but hey, I survived this morning’s WOD and that’s all that matters.
The WOD isn’t Cindy (sorry to deceive you), but I’d like to think of it as Cindy on crack:
- 5 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
- 10 Wall Balls
- 15 KB Swings
- 20 Min AMRAP
…
As I mentioned before, I’m still coming out of my sick/holiday hibernation and this WOD was not the business for my booty. In total, I hit a full eight rounds – full snail pace and after yesterdays WOD (DB snatches and running) my back was lit up!
Ok enough complaining – I’ll get my mojo back in no time…
Now I won’t overload you guys with food pictures, but over the next couple of days I’ll post what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the Whole30. Most likely, I’ll showcase what we eat for dinner (hopefully I don’t inhale my meal before I remember to take a picture) because breakfast and lunch are usually some form of leftovers. Embrace the leftovers people!
This is usually my breakfast staple: Two eggs, half an avocado and a handful of blackberries. Kind of Zone-ish, but I love it and I’m so grateful for having a chef at work who hooks it up.
Lunch: Sweet potatoes, leftover chili and the rest of the avocado
Dinner: Chicken stir-fry
Exciting, isn’t it? Not. But in all seriousness, successful eating means you need to plan ahead. Plain and simple.
And my West Coast readers, can we take a moment for how frigid the mornings have been? 35 degrees? Brrr…I need figure out when it would be appropriate to wear my Uggs during a WOD…
Ending on a random note: I think Dave and I are becoming obsessed with our Nanos – all I’ve been thinking about is new color combinations for future kicks.
Are you eating clean in the New Year? What are your meals like?

Have you checked out Holly Would If She Could yet? She has all kinds of Whole30 meal ideas (even some slow cooker ones). Oh and currently 19 degrees here at 1:00 pm. I would kill for 35 in the morning.
I am starting the Whole 30 this coming Monday. I am a little nervous but totally excited at the same time lol. Thanks for sharing and I will be following your meals for ideas
I haven’t checked that out yet – but I will! Thanks for the tip. And 19 degrees? Yikes! Stay warm
That’s great! Is this your first Whole30? Check out Nom Nom Paleo site too for some great recipes and tips.
