Day 1 was a breeze and I felt motivated and not the least bit hungry all day.  Here are my eats:

Breakfast

• 2 hard boiled eggs
• 1/2 small avocado (soft outside hard inside…WTF?!! yuck.)
• Leftover grilled veggies

Lunch

• Organic Salad greens topped with (leftover) grilled shrimp
• Olive oil and balsamic vinegar as dressing

Snack

• Handful of Kalamata Olives
• Blueberries
• a few more shrimp

Dinner

• Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon sauteed in coconut oil topped with cherry tomatoes, capers, artichoke hearts and a little lemon juice
• Mixture of red peppers, green peppers and spinach sauteed in coconut oil

It’s been a while…Updates:

• I’ve been keeping a steady running schedule, but have dropped the ball on Body Pump. :(
• My daily eats (and drinks) have been less than stellar, but not horrible.  
• My less than stellar eating and drinking has left me feeling a little “mushy” these days…which is why…
• I’m starting the Whole9’s Whole30 Challenge today.  I first read about it on One Twenty Five, but have been thinking about the whole Paleo/Primal eating thing since reading My Quirky Life.
• I’ve done my research, reading and prepping before jumping in to make sure I was fairly educated and really wanted to commit.
• It’s going to be hard to give up wine for 30 days, but I need a challenge.
• My plan is to give regular update my progress, recipes and challenges.
• The workout plan I’m going to follow is continuing to run, but add Body Pump back in 2 to 3 days a week.  I really miss strength training.

I’m on a 100 calorie bag popcorn and red wine kick…it could be worse.

It went better than expected but did not feel better than expected.  It was hard. But I managed to try to zone out to my awesome playlist and push through.  Finished 5 miles in 42:41.  I can’t be upset with that. But my body pretty much shut down later, I was exhausted and could barely keep my eyes open.  I even went home, got in bed and took a nap after work.  I never do that.  I really hope I’m not getting sick. Especially with the half-marathon only 2 and a half weeks away! I’m drinking airborne as I type!
