Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. - Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog
What's up everyone? Thanks for continuing to follow along. Still amazes me how people let me know they're following the blog, keeps me motivated. Anyways, it's starting to really pay dividends for me. It's only been a little over a week now, but I sleep better through night, and my energy levels are through the roof. I play in a weekly basketball league, and sometimes a flag football league, and I used to only be good for a few minutes at a time before I had to take a break. The past 2 nights I had a game for each and I was able to play the entire game without taking a break. It's only been about 2 weeks of Crossfit and 1 week of the diet, so I'm excited to see the progress after the full 30 days.
Before I go on to my lineup, I wanted to clarify something. My buddy Chris mentioned yesterday that the Protein Shakes were dairy, to which I had no idea. I did some research, and talked to my trainers they informed me that Whey Protein is indeed dairy, which technically isn't Paleo. My trainers told me to ignore that small aspect of the diet, because of the heavy workouts I am doing, they said to keep the whey protein, but only take it with coconut milk.
Here's my lineup:
Breakfast
Fruit Salad with Apples, Carrots, and Raisins with a dash of Cinnamon
2 Hard Boiled Egg Whites
2 Turkey Sausage Patties
Snack
Unfortunately skipped because I got busy at work
Lunch
Spinach Mexican Salad with Spinach, Chicken, Guacamole, and Salsa
Snack
Banana
Handful of Walnuts
Dinner
Paleo Chicken Cacciatore
Mashed Cauliflower
Leftover Spaghetti Squash
Broccoli
Megan was back over for the night, so she was able to cook a good dinner. She was actually already here and cooking by the time I got back from work. She spent the day on google trying to find Paleo approved recipes, and it was greatly appreciated because I ate like a king again tonight. To please my mom, I am going to cook my own dinner tomorrow night, so we'll see how that goes. I'll keep you posted.
Have a great day people.
if you get sun warrior protein, it's soy-free and dair-free. it's all plant based protein. i ADORE mashed cauliflower! switch up your bfasts next!!
ReplyDeleteSon: Proud of you! Now make sure what you make is a true recipe that you have to follow directions in order to make it ~~ :)
ReplyDeleteglad you got some good advice on the protein! I'm sensitive to dairy in the form of milk (even raw milk gives me a little upset stomach, but definitely less than regular milk), but whey protein is fine. I wouldn't suggest other kinds of protein (soy, hemp, wheat) for the same reasons you are replacing grains right now, plus the fact that the best kind of protein you can get is from animals (whey being a derivative from an animal). Jarrow makes whey protein from grass-fed cows if you really wanted to tighten up the protein supplement.
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work. This is about finding a lifestyle that works for you, so if you find a meal/food that you like, take note!
