Yay Monday! And Hooray for a school day where the weather was decent enough to run with the BOB on the way to school! We had also gone on a family run on Sunday to the park, so it has been nice to be back in the routine again. Some interesting thoughts about my run though, I am not sure if it is the Whole 30, the cold, or if my children have gained 20 lbs, but my runs have been noticeably difficult. Maybe I haven't yet hit the "sweet spot" of W30 where my athletic performance should improve, but it was a bit of a bummer. I found myself struggling much more than before, especially on hills. I will definitely keep tracking this and see if/how it improves in the coming weeks.
Breakfast: Egg Muffins
Lunch: Leftover chicken from Friday night, baby carrots and snap peas dipped in homemade "veggie dip"
Dinner: Nom Nom Paleo's Slow Cooker Cheater Pork Stew. I used the pork shoulder whole and cut it up after it cooked. After cutting it I added it back to the crockpot for about 30 minutes. I did not use any fish sauce. The Red Boat Fish Sauce she recommends is a little outrageously priced ($24 on Amazon for a 17oz bottle). I had read some comments on the recipe site and others seemed to be happy with the recipe without the fish sauce so I went with that. I used some of my Giada homemade marinara sauce. It was excellent. Parker and Ben both enjoyed it as well. I made some couscous for Ben and the kids. Served it all with a salad. I would make this recipe even if I wasn't doing W30.
