As if that was exciting enough (note a hint of sarcasm) we also whipped up our first batch of homemade mayo. I will say, it is pretty cool to see oil and eggs turn into a thick & tasty substance. We used this recipe from "Well Fed." Now that we've got the basics down, we can use this recipe as a starter for Ranch dressing, dips for the upcoming Super Bowl, etc. etc.
Breakfast - black coffee. I know, not a very good breakfast, but we were out the door early to do our grocery shopping and by the time we finished that we wanted to get to the YMCA and then it was lunch time. I was definitely hungry by then.
Lunch - arugula and spinach salad with garlic shrimp, cucumbers, slivered almonds, half an avocado and a hard boiled egg. No more dates or pomegranate seeds for this girl (tear).
Dinner - Chicken Pad Thai - soooooooo good, I can't believe this meal was Whole30 compliant. Again we looked to "Well Fed" for the recipe and while it was a bit hands on (as Pad Thai recipes always are) the outcome is well worth it. I see us varying this up a bit maybe doing shrimp instead of chicken. The photo doesn't really do it justice, but here it is anyhow.
Workout - treadmill for a mile, walking uphill - just a good excuse to get moving then I did two 21-15-9's. Round one I did 21 medicine ball passes w/ my husband (not sure what else to call those - we stood back to back and passed the ball side to side - it was a 15 pound ball and we were dying), 21 push-ups, and 21 pliet squats with overhead tricep presses (then 15, then 9) and Round 2 was 21 leg presses - increasing weight each round, 21 shoulder presses and 21 rowing - increasing weight each time (then 15 then 9). I'm feeling all that lifting/sculpting today - and it feels good!
