In order to combat the lethargic feelings I have had the last two days, I am upping my carb intake. I am hoping it will help with some of my exhaustion. Really looking forward to a rest day from the gym tomorrow. Didn't do mobility wod last night so I am going to do episodes 5 & 6 tonight.

Tuesday July 31, 2012 - Day 11 of Whole30
Food
Breakfast: Less than 1/2 noatmeal + 5 strawberries + Grande Decaf Americano
Lunch: Some less than desirable cabbage/sausage/onion mixture with dijon mustard + carrots
Snacks: Pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, 1 small tangerine, 1 kombucha
Dinner: Sage Chicken Sausage and an Eggs...raw green pepers + cucumber slices.... grilled chicken salad with homemade buffalo dressing
Snack: HB Egg
Workout
A. Split jerk (from rack), build to a max in 12:00 I did 60# - kept it light because my wrist has been bothering me. Rob coached me a bit today and told me I am dipping WAY too much on the dip portion of the jerk. It's causing the bar to go forward and I am losing a lot of power. I will be working on this skill over the next few weeks.
+
8 rounds (Tabata) for total reps of :
:20 push-ups
:10 rest
I did 40 (womp womp)
exactly 2:00 rest
AMRAP in 4:00 of:
Kettlebell swings, overhead, 1.5/1
I did 77
Mood/Feelings/Notes:
I have been battling severe bloating when I am really hungry. It's the strangest thing. So I am adding some afternoon snacks into the mix so I don't feel terrible when I leave work and head to the gym. We'll see how it goes. I could probably stand to eat a few more calories anyway, so hopefully this will help! Update: I ate snacks this afternoon and had no bloating!! I need to do some fitday or myfitnesspal to figure out how many calories I am consuming though.. and I need to ditch the nuts and get better snacks like raw veggies and HB eggs.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 piece salmon, 1 strawberry, 6 blueberries, 2 blackberries
Lunch: Firecracker tuna salad in lettuce leaves, carrots, 10 blueberries + 4 blackberries
Snack: GT's Kombucha in Trilogy + some macadamia nuts
Dinner: Italian chicken nuggets (homemade) dipped in marinara, zucchini, 1/2 sweet potato
Snack: 1/2 banana, 3 strawberries, coconut milk, cinnamon & nutmeg
Workout
A. High-bar back squat, deep 10-8-6-4, 30X1*; 3:00 rest I did 63#, 70#, 80#, 90#
B. Pull-ups, COVP, 3 x max (-2) 2:00 rest I did 13, 10, 10 (all kipping)
C. Run, 3 x 400m (out @ 85%, back @ 95%); 2:00-3:00 active rest I did 1:39, 1:38, 1:37
*tempo will allow heavier loads than last week’s sets @ 3011
+ Mobility WOD Episode 04 and 20 min self guided stretching
Mood/Feelings/Notes:
Woke up after a nightmare and was REALLY dragging this morning. After my salmon and eggs, I felt very shaky and in a fog. Joe suggested I eat some berries, as my blood sugar may have been low. It seemed to help. In the afternoon, I was absolutely exhausted. Felt so weird. When I got to the gym I just laid on the floor for a while, contemplating if I should just go home. Glad I stayed to workout, but it was really a struggle at the beginning with the squats. I am thinking I need to have more carbs and snacks in the afternoon to help with my energy. I also get incredibly bloated when I get hungry, and have been experiencing this very badly in the afternoons (around 4-5).

Sunday July 29, 2012 - Day 9 of Whole30
Food
Breakfast: Carrots & almond butter, 1/2 grapefruit, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of organic bacon, 10 macadamia nuts
Lunch: Leftover salmon & negligible amount of sweet potato "fries"
Dinner: Crab Cakes & Broccoli (delicious meal)
Workout
Rest day: Mobility WOD Episode 3. 20 min self guided stretching.
Moods/Feelings/Notes
Super pissed I can't have snacks. I am being bratty and am sick of this diet today. I have been feeling this way for the past few days. I know I can make it through the week once Monday comes, but MAN do the weekends suck. Joe is really getting close to calling it off, but I hope he stays with it because I really want to see if the inflammation in his chest gets better because of it!

Food
Breakfast: 6 slices of bell pepper, 2 over-medium eggs, 5 carrots
Lunch: Salad of romaine, red onion, carrots, tomatoes, hamburger, a little mayo and mustard, and 1/4 avocado
Snack: Kombucha (GT's brand and the Trilogy type is my favorite. Only has 4g sugar in the entire bottle), 10 macadamia nuts, 1/2 grapefruit
Dinner: Salmon 4 ways + sweet potato wedges.
Snack: 1/2 cup of berries (strawberries/blueberries) + drizzle of coconut milk (full-fat) and 5 chopped almonds sprinkled on top
Workout
Morning:
AMRAP in 20:00 of:
400m run
10 burpee box jumps, 24/20″
30 sit-ups
I did 4 rounds + 400m run + 10 burpee box jumps. Then I did some lower ab work, pull ups, push ups, and dips. I will get a muscle up next year.
Evening: Mobility WOD #2 plus 20 min self-guided stretching
Mood/Feelings/Notes
Felt pretty good today. Struggled a little during the WOD because I got kind of crampy, but it wasn't that bad. My energy is pretty good today, but I still feel a little of the "wah wah" I can't have a snack. ESPECIALLY because my sister posted that she made THESE for breakfast this morning and it made me really mad because I have a huge 5 lb bag of honeyville amond flour sitting in my cupboard untouched for another 22 days! Oh well... will be something to look forward to after the Whole 30! Off to find something to do with the huge salmon fillet I have in the fridge! (Update: I wasn't sure what kind of salmon I was in the mood for so I cut the 2 lb piece into 4 separate pieces and experimented a little. I made Sesame Ginger, Lemon Ginger, Lemon Dill, and a spicy/savory one (Cumin, Paprika, Garlic, and S&P). Since I used fresh ginger, the two ginger salmon pieces were a bit overwhelming for my taste, but they were still good. I think the Lemon Dill was my favorite!)
