Day 3: 100% and GIANT Papayas

Exercise: Surfed with my friend Raye in the evening at Turtle Bay and for a small moment we had it all to ourselves. Wish I had a photo to capture the memory of surfing together but we were busy having fun! I probably caught over 10 waves….the surf was tiny but we brought huge boards so we had no problem. Surfing as the sun sets was so incredibly relaxing and recharging all at the same time.

GIANT papaya for breaky!

Food: Went to a baby shower in town and didn’t cave for any of the cinnamon rolls or chocolate muffins woo hoo!! I was incredibly proud of myself because social settings are where I tend to make the biggest mistakes with food choices. Eating was a little sporadic with driving into town but I was able to avoid the added sugars/junk, IF’ed from 10 till 6 pm, and I didn’t pick and graze all day!! It was pretty easy to do though since I was gone from the house most of the time.

  • Breakfast (10am): super huge papaya
  • Snack (12ish): mixed fruit bowl and egg/veggie things (what I ate at the shower)
  • Snack 2(3:00): Apple and coconut water (no sugar added–the real deal)
  • Dinner(4:00): Buddha Bowl (Quinoa, chickpeas, purple sweet potatoes, broccoli, green beans, etc. with hot sauce
  • Dessert(5:30): homemade granola with almond milk

Sleep: 11-7:30…Stayed up late but slept in 🙂 You have to stay up a little late on weekends right and party hard (aka clean out your kitchen cabinets with your husband).

Water: Drank 10 cups (80 ounces) of water and 2 cups real coconut water…does that count? I like to think it does 🙂 I got a little behind in the evening with drinking my water so at 9:00 pm I started chugging my last 6 cups. I payed for it by making a bunch of extra trips during the night.

Day 2: 100% and SUP’ing

Exercise: Today was so fun! We went stand up paddle-boarding at Sunset. I have only tried to catch waves once or twice on a SUP but today I had the opportunity to practice more. Was in the water for 45 minutes. Good core workout! Also went on a short 1 mile walk with Ezra on the bike path.

These images are from the same wave 🙂

 Food: No refined sugars or junk! IF’ed from 11:30-7:30 and ate a 1 pound veggie salad for some good volume. I have an insanely huge appetite so the veggies really help fill me up with nutrient-dense food. I do think I slightly overate at night because although I didn’t have a big dinner I had my salad so late in the day I feel soooo full—should have skipped my snack but was looking forward to something a little sweet. I’m going to use this weekend to prepare to start tracking my macros starting Monday. I struggle with tracking big time–which is where I think I could gain a lot more awareness about my intake. I’m also realizing I pick A LOT when making food for myself and my family and i’ts easy to think that food doesn’t really count if it’s healthy (which—new flash—it DOES). For the rest of my month I am going to eat with intention and avoid mindlessly picking at everything.
