Last night I think I panicked though. Mentally I knew it was the end of Whole30 which meant no more support daily emails and no more telling people I am on Whole30. Really, I could have opened my freezer and microwaved dinner and had bee done with it, or picked up a delicious dollar slice of pizza on my way home. But instead I decided to meal prep. In 1 hour, I baked 3 things! Dinner...pre-workout snack and post-workout snack. If I can keep some semblance of a routine, especially early in the morning than I think I can have control without the support of Whole30 everyday!
Pre-workout snack was Monkey Muffins again since I was running low. they are such a great treat early in the morning and help me feel full and energized through my commute and Bar workout! They are sugar free and have a lot of nuts (so I have to be careful not to eat too many of them as snacks during the day! The ingredients are 2 cups of cashews, 1/2 cup of walnuts, 2 bananas, 10 dates, cinnamon, salt, 1/2 cup coconut oil. This made 12 perfectly portioned muffins and they're sitting in my freezer waiting for my morning workouts!!
Post-workout I went with my turkey blueberry muffins again (turkey, blueberries, coconut flour, onions, eggs, spice). Really easy, really simple, easy to commute with, easy to eat in the locker room and filled with great lean protein and carbs for post workout recovery. And they taste a lot sweeter now than they did my first week of Whole30. Everything tastes sweeter now that I have gone a month without sugar!
Because I was meal prepping when I got home last night I had a quick pre-dinner snack. I had a few figs with some cashew cheese. And I was able to control myself and only have 4 figs...32 days ago I would have been pigging out on the sweet treats!!
Dinner was delicious. I made spaghetti squash quiche! Using the spaghetti squash as the crust is such a unique way to use it and it is so different than just having "pasta." This is why it is allowed on Whole30...it is not a replacement for pasta because psychologically in our minds it is not pasta since we use it so many different ways. A brownie is still a brownie and that's why it is not approved! It's all mental! I used PaleOMG's recipe and added spinach and tomatoes for added color and vegetables so I didn't even need a salad on the side! Even Ryan tried some and loved it! This to me is a huge success!!!
I brought some for Meal 1 today with an avocado which was such a great meal after a really intense and wonderful Bar Method workout this morning. Meal 2 was a mixed green salad with tons of vegetables and almonds and leftover salmon from passover. You would think with all of my meal prep yesterday I would know what I am having for Meal 3 tonight, but I don't and I'm a little stressed about it but I'm trying not to worry and to stay in control!
I hope everyone is having a great day!
