Whole30: Day 19

From June 1 through June 30, I'm participating in the Whole30 clean-up/change your life/heal thyself plan. (Here's why.)


Training
I did it! I planned a workout for today, then I woke up, took Synthroid, waited the required 30 minutes, ate a protein snack as recommended by Dallas and Moxy-Boss, put on my watch, and hit the backyard. I did it!
Warmup
2:00 jump rope - practice fancy footwork
2X 10 squats + 10 pushups + 10 rotations
high knees, butt kicks, lunge w/ rotation

Buy-in
2X 5 deadhang pullups w/band

WOD
4 rounds:
1:00 dumbbell push press, 15# dbs
1:00 burpees
1:00 rest
This was just what I needed. It was all challenging enough to keep me on my toes, but not so hard that I felt overwhelmed. Also, it was sweaty. My reps on the rounds looked like this:
push press: 32 - 33 - 30 - 30
burpess: 12 - 12 - 12 - 11 (damn it!)

Food
I'm still not eating enough, but at least it was clean. Chicken sausage and summer squash for breakfast... Scotch egg with homemade mayo and summer squash for lunch; green peppers, black olives, cucumbers, and hard-boiled egg for a snack.

Sleep
8.5 beautiful hours, interrupted by an annoying but not too terribly long wake-up around 1:00 a.m.

Thinkin' you want to take better care of yourself? (And still trust my judgment after this blog post?!) Here are some guidelines you might find helpful.
