Day 9 - Mmmm, Carbs!

Well, here we are at the end of Day 9 on Dax Moy's 30lbs in 30 Days Challenge. Finally, we are allowed to eat carbs again. What a happy girly I was today. Oh, how much I enjoyed my breakfast of uncooked oats soaked in homemade almond milk, with strawberries and a side of scrambled eggs!

Lunch was chicken, broccoli rabe and a 1/3 of a russet potato, sauteed. So good!

Can you believe that, 9 days in, I am still sore. There has not been a day without soreness! The workouts went well and I was finished with everything by 4:30PM - the benefits of being on vacation.

After that, everything went pear shaped. Annoying personal issues resulted in me being very pissed off and stressed; a complete appetite killer. I hate eating when I feel like that. What I really wanted to do was chill out with an icy cold beer, but I exercised extreme willpower and continued to drink my water.

Dinner ended up being yogurt, strawberries and sunflower seeds. Not your typical dinner, but I'd been looking forward to this for days, so it had to be done, while I was still allowed. Tomorrow, it's back to low carb.

Well, it's about my bed time. I'm still stressed, so hopefully, I can sleep okay. Goodnight!

  1. Oh what a bummer to have outside influences impact what sounded like a great day...Good for you for overcoming the urge to have a beer.

    I think this weekend with the 4th looming is going to be a challenge. Last year on the 4th it was the end of my 90 day challenge, we were down at the beach and I had my first Kosher Hot dog in over 3 months...Yes it was fabulous...this year it will be strictly ED friendly...
    Soreness for me comes and goes...depends on what I do the last workout...Pyramid is still hard for me.. Havea great rest of the week and vacation.
