It was another early morning for Day 21 and what I ate for the day! I was up at 5:30 with D since he needed to be at work at 7am. I had some work errands to do and getting them done early would be good since parking at work is a nightmare!
I had time to have my cup of collagen coffee and met oil. I will be changing that up since I chatted with my functional MD today and a reason I may not be eating first meal until later in the day could be due to the coffee consumption. So I will eat my first meal and have coffee later in the morning.
I got dressed for the gym and headed out to get my errands done. I did grab a bar (Julian's Bakery Pegan Protein) on my way out cause I had that feeling I would be hungry shortly, which I was and glad I brought it. I probably wouldn't be able to get through my workout without it. I don't think it's Whole30 complaint, but I'm not completely Whole30 either.
I did feel a little nauseous after eating it though. I think it's the inca seeds!?
I got to the gym and did the following routine
20 minute incline treadmill walk (4.2) @ 10% to 14%
3 to 4 rounds - 6 to 8 reps
Leg Press - single leg 90 to 130#
Leg Press 210 to 250#
Leg extensions - single leg 40#
Leg extensions 70#
Body weight squats in between extensions
db chest press 35#
chest fly 20#
goblet squats 35#
db shoulder press 25#
I did abs in between each exercise starting with the chest press. I finished off with some straight arm pull downs and a quick set of fixed lat pull downs.
I headed to Starbucks for a decaf coffee with cinnamon and then to Whole Foods. I was double charged the other day when I bought ghee. They were so helpful and nice and even gave me a gift card for the trouble. So I picked up a bag of Siete Lime Tortilla chips and some RxBars for D. If the hot bar would have been open I would have grabbed more Nom Nom Paleo food but it was so I needed to go home and cook some food.
Bilinski chicken mushroom sausage (made 2) and sautéed brussels, onions, broccoli and spaghetti squash in Kettle and Fire bone broth. It came out so amazing. After lunch I had my Skype appointment with my functional. I love being able to see a doctor via Skype. Anyway there I things I need to work on like stress management and improving my immune system. My gut is inflamed and I think with getting that straight and calming myself, which includes 30 minutes of meditation EVERYDAY will be beneficial. I am determined to get myself straight in the next 3 to 6 months. He also mention doing a detox in 3 months. I'm also not going to stress about the things that I can't control. I need to learn to let go.
I had a dentist appointment shortly after that (and a couple stops in between). My teeth are cleaned and going to fix a broken filling next week. The hygienist said that my gums were great! That's the first time I've ever heard that!
I got home and began my meditation. Well first I had to feed Jack, Stryker and Nostrand or I would never get my peaceful 30 minutes. I went into youtube and found a 30 minute music meditation, not guided and began to focus on breathing. I also started a mantra of "my body is healthy and strong". Thinking this mantra brings about a positive change and I am committed to it.
I decided to do some food prep and get dinner going. I roasted some veggies - the usual suspects - cauliflower, broccoli, brussels, asparagus, green beans, sweet potatoes and spaghetti squash. I made an AIP meatloaf topped with bacon. I pan seared the remaining bacon too.
For dinner I cooked up kale in ghee with onions and garlic and pan seared the salmon in more ghee. The skin was crispy and ate that too with a little salt.
I ended up topping the salmon with green goddess dressing. I'm super addicted to that stuff and it's just so clean!
So I'm finishing up with today's post with a cup of Pukka cinnamon tea and going to relax. Good night and till day 22.
