I had big plans to go to yoga this morning - packed my bags last night, set out clothes for my workout, put meals in containers. I even got out of bed this morning, got out the door and was well on my way up 295 when I realized I'd left all of my food at home. During a Whole 30, this is a crisis since it's really challenging to find compliant food, especially for an egg-free breakfast. I turned around and headed home, and here's where I found my new energy: instead of calling it a good effort and getting dressed at home, I went back out the door and worked out at Cheverus instead. I needed to get in a bike workout this week anyway in order to get in some semblance of tri training!
Now that I'm back to school, I'm trying to reincorporate my supplements into my diet and to increase my water intake. The doctor who ordered my comprehensive food panel has me taking a probiotic, uva ursi (soothes irritated intestines), and glutamine (strengthens & repairs intestinal walls) since I suffer from "leaky gut" (if you read It Starts With Food, I'm practically the poster child for systemic inflammation). So I started back with the supplements this morning. As for water, I have a fantastic iPhone app that determines how much water I should be drinking daily based on my weight and activity level - 160 oz per day. It also helps me keep track of whether or not I reach that goal, so I'll be posting water consumption along with my food log from here on out.
Breakfast - Paleo Shrimp & Grits, Garden Salad w Lemon Vinaigrette
Lunch - Leftover Chorizo Meatloaf, Spinach
Dinner - Flu Fighting Fish Stew, Spinach Salad w Blackberries
106 oz of water
I subbed hake for the salmon the recipe called for, and the stew was delicious!! I adore fish chowder, and this was an excellent replacement with a spicy kick.
