210.8 - still doing Whole 30

I'm feeling a bit better than when we started this diet, but not as good as I've felt doing some other diets (probably because I'm eating too much fruit on Whole 30).

I've started working on strength a few times a week (a dumbbell routine in the garage, pushups and rope climbs).  I've definitely noticed an immediate improvement in strength, muscle endurance and recovery time doing the Whole 30, similar to how I felt when I did strict Paleo for a month.

I plan to finish out the Whole 30, then add back in dairy, reduce fruit and other fast carbs and see how that goes.

211.8

Feeling a little sluggish, but I've felt stronger at the same time. Hopefully I'll feel more energetic soon as I adjust to the Whole 30 eating

212.6 - ran Alien 1 mile race yesterday

Starting the "whole 30" diet tomorrow, so the weight should start coming down.  

Ran the Alien Festival inaugural 1 mile "obstacle" run.  That was fun and very McMinnville.

Spartan Beast

Did the Beast yesterday.  The course was pretty crazy.  My time was about 5:55.  I'm hobbling around today, but happy I was able to finish it.  Made the rope climb, missed the spear throw by an inch.

 

Edit:  Here are some photos I got a couple weeks after the race.
