kweber05 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is my sixth challenge with NerdFitenss and the first one I have attempted since July 2014. I kinda crapped out in the middle of last year. This challenge I'm keeping it simple with no .gifs just straight things I need to accomplish. Main Quest Ø With this challenge I am focusing on eating right and getting back to exercising. I have two major things coming up in the month of January. First, I have my GMAT test January 24 to get into my Masters program. Second, I have a huge physical with my doctor on January 27. This will be my first adult physical and I have to fast the night before for blood work. Also, for the first 30 days I'm eating Whole30. Whew!!!! Specific Goals Ø Follow Whole30 for the first part of the challenge. After that continue to eat healthy for the rest of the challenge. To accomplish that I'm going to track my food in MyFitnessPal. As always I will log my food on NerdFitness on a regular basis. Ø Exercise!!! Workout at least three times a week. To complete this I'm going to do my CT-50 and ZombiesRun programs. Life Side Quest Ø Complete my photo blog for the next six weeks without missing a day. Ø Log my Whole30 meals everyday on my blog. Ø Study for my GMAT every week and take at least two practice tests before my test date.

kweber05 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 @Fonzico sure....it is as follows. As always you can add or remove items to taste! 4 medium roma tomatoes1 large green bell pepper3-4 cloves of garlic (I used pre-chopped garlic in water so I did not have to cut it all up)2 cups fresh cilantro1 lime (juice only) Place all the cilantro and half of the other ingredients in a blender. I used my Ninja and it worked great. Plus until smooth. Put in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients (chopped) to make it chunky. I squeezed half the lime in before blending and stirred in the other half once I added the chunky ingredients. I put mine in glass jars in the fridge, but it will not last the week. I have been eating it with eggs and hubby has been eating it with eggs and sausage. 1 Quote Level 2: Malcontent STR: 3 || DEX: 3 || STA: 6 || CON: 3 || WIS: 3 || CHA: 2 Current Challenge Challenge 5 Challenge 4 Challenge 3 Challenge 2 Challenge 1 Link to comment

I thought eating Whole30 was going to be the challenging part. Nope and Nope. On the plus side I got my pilates link fixed (the old one expired and they did not send me the new one until I prompted them). The plan for tomorrow (1/8) is to do the beginner core video. I did get some knitting done the past two days. I'm following @darkfoxx's lead and knitting while watching TV. Life Side Quest Ø Complete my photo blog for the next six weeks without missing a day. Done Ø Log my Whole30 meals everyday on my blog. Done Ø Study for my GMAT every week & take at least two practice tests before my test date. Have not heard back from the professor, so I took the night off. Thursday and Friday will be big study days, because I plan to take my first practice test on Saturday. That way I know where to focus my studying on next week.

Fonzico Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks for the salsa recipe! I am definitely going to try it out I find the funny thing about Whole30 IS that it isn't that hard. What is effing hard is trying to eat healthy when you don't have insanely black and white rules to go by.
