Blog Post: Day 3

Day 3 blew by.  Sleep wasn’t too great.  Between the baby waking up (several times) and being a squirmy little thing in bed and just plain insomnia, I didn’t get much.  However, since I didn’t have to work too early, we were able to sleep in until almost 9, so all in all I still got a little over 7 hours.  It was just broken up. And all I can say is thank goodness for my Audible account, listening to books instead of my mind spinning really helps.

I woke up starving, probably do to my lighter dinner, and so I immediately made a nice rich smoothie.  I quickly made some homemade almond milk from almonds I soaked the night before.  We had almond milk, mixed berries, mango, coco oil, and chia seeds.  It was so thick and yummy.  The perfect start!

Breakfast was a quicker kale, mushroom and onion frittata.  I buy bags of frozen kale and then defrost one and leave it in a bowl in my fridge.  That way I can just scoop out kale on the go and add it to the pan like no big deal.  This I ended up eating in the car on my way to work.  Way to time manage Shannon.

After work, lunch was leftover tabouli with a half an avocado. 3 brazil nuts on the side for my selenium. Yum.  We also had another smoothie. This time it was almond milk, strawberries, coco oil, tsp of cacao,  chia seeds, and a touch of maca (I was feeling my adrenals needed a little support).

We were both so sore from our workouts the days before so I opted for a rest day.  I took a long walk to the park instead with the babies and we let the boys run around.

Dinner was so good! Roasted Kale & butternut squash with chopped walnuts and pecans.  (all recipes coming soon!)

Late night movie snack was 2 stalks celery with almond butter.
