Day1: Monday September 29

Here we go!! Day 1. 
This is where you come to post your meals and snacks and everything in between! You can post at the end of each day a recap of everything you ate or post after each meal. Bottom line is you must post! It will for one keep you accountable, it will also help me out if I need to give you feedback, help you in staying connected with the group and get the most out of this challenge.
Post your food intake to comments. Go team!

  1. Good morning gang!

    I am Annie! My goals for doing this are to feel better and perform better.

    More specifically by the end of this 30 Days I hope to have recovered my missing Muscle Ups and shed 4lbs.

    I've been enjoying a little too much dairy this summer and a few too many treats. And as a result I have been left feeling bloated often and carrying a few unwanted pounds.

    It starts today! I am out of town for a couple days, but I did the workout of the month to test it out last week for you guys and I will weigh and measure myself Wednesday. (Remember those measurements and numbers are due to be emailed to me tonight)

    Now everyone please introduce yourself and share your goals.
    Annie ��

  2. Hello everyone! My name is Brett and I am taking part in this 30 day challenge to feel better and hit some PRs. I would like to lose some unnecessary body fat and increase my snatch and clean by 15 pounds.

    My breakfast this morning consisted of 4 eggs scrambled, a banana, a Tbs of almond butter and a glass of water.

    Here we go now now!

    1. 15lbs PR! I like those goals Brett. Our new Olympic coach combine with this there should be no excuses.

  3. Breakfast:

    3 eggs scrambled with some yellow peppers and spinach. Some blueberries in a little coconut milk. Bulletproof coffee made with organic ghee.

    Lunch:

    Spinach salad with yellow peppers, blueberries and left over pork tenderloins. Balsamic and Evoo dressing. Apple and almond butter on the side.

    I realize as I type this that aside from the eggs lunch and breakfast were roughly the same food! Ha ha. I am not at home and doing my best,;)

    Snack:
    RX bar*

    *RXbar are Whole30 approved. I ordered a bunch online in preparation. One bar has 1 fig, 2 dates, 8 almonds and 4 egg whites. Real food is always a better option but since I am visiting a friend in Calgary who is in the hospital I knew my options would be limited.

    Dinner post to come later.:)

  5. Ok. I started a week early but allowed myself to blow up last Saturday night. So I started again on Sunday. Here is my Monday breakdown.

    B: 4 eggs with fresh salsa
    S: handful of almonds, maybe 6 in total
    L: Yams with onions and garlic and chicken thighs and drums
    S: banana with almond butter
    D: pork ribs, little bit of yams and salad with balsamic dressing
    I'll probably have another piece of fruit and protein at 8ish tonight.

    Make tons of yams and chicken today and slow cooked the ribs. Preparing food is the absolute key to making this easy.

  6. Dinner:
    A couple of grilled sausages with grilled peppers and 1/2 yam.
    Post dinner treat :
    Bowl of blueberries with chia seeds and coconut milk. Herbal tea.

    Looking forward from hearing from everyone!

  7. Hi friends, Steph here!

    I am doing this paleo thing because I want some abs! And some new PR's would be nice too of course. I got a 135 clean today (10lbs over my old PR), so I think if i get 140 by the end of the month, I'd be more than happy. I would also like to get better at pull ups and muscle ups.

    I had a little rough start because of the move this weekend. No time to prepare food whatsoever.
    B: Banana and my first ever black coffee (yuck!)
    S: Apple
    L: Tuna Avocado salad
    D: Roast Chicken, green beans and roast yams

    Tomorrow should be better. Fridge got stocked today :)

  8. Hi all, Brad here,

    A little late to the party as I didn't join until after yesterday's workout so here it goes. Goal for doing this is to try and get my energy levels up during the afternoons, for workouts and for hockey games.

    Yesterday I had a banana and apple fore breaky with black coffee. Lunch consisted of some deli meats and a salad. Banana for snack in the afternoon and Roast chicken, yams and broccoli for dinner.

    Annie, how much does portion control have to do with this?

    Brad

    1. Welcome Brad!
      I would say for the first few days don't worry about how much food you eat. It is a big change already, you don't want to have too many changes at once. In my experience, if you up your protein it is quite helpful for satiety and should take care of you not overeating. By removing all the extra sugar and carbs from your diet your energy should be more even and you should see less cravings and energy drop as it goes along, the first few days are often the hardest.
