Real Food Challenge Day 23

I just wanted to take a few minutes to congratulate everyone participating in our real food challenge.  I am so proud of all of you for making this change.  I haven’t had time to gather some concrete statistical data to support this, but the coaches have certainly noticed some huge performance gains around the gym.  We’ve run out of space on the “Chicks who do chins” board and we have more athletes rx’ing wods than ever before.  Of course, we have coach B to thank for his programming, but don’t underestimate the power of good nutrition.

Please post lunch to comments…

    Breakfast: spicy chili & zukini strips
    Lunch: Apple, carrot, celery, grapefruit, avocado salad with chicken and pollock, mmmmmm. Toasted pumpkin seeds on top. (This is more of a treat lunch, i was so proud for going to a social gathering on the weekend and again last night and sticking to my guns, I decided to splurge.)

    @Smokey Jo what is the recipe for coconut curry shrimp?

    Chicken with mixed greens salad again with balsamic dressing. Had a handful of cherries as i am trying to stop chewing gum(sugar-free) after lunches. Worked well.

    I was watching a TV show the other day and they had a health segment on talking about ALMOND MILK. It is apparently ground almonds and filtered water. Suppose to be low in calories and great substitute for dairy and soy. Has anybody had this?

    She posted the recipe either yesterday or the day before.

    Lunch today – went out with a friend and had a greek salad with chicken. There was feta on the salad so I guess that is a cheat.

    @natalie g

    I think Mandy had posted this…

    1 lb. Shrimp
    1 C unsweetened shredded coconut
    3 T coconut milk
    2 eggs
    Curry

    Beat eggs and coconut milk, set aside

    In a bag (or a bowl works too), mix shredded coconut with a little salt and pepper (and/or Curry powder). One by one dredge shrimp in coconut milk/egg mixture and drop into bag of coconut to coat. Put shrimp on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with paprika and bake for 20 minutes at 350 until browned.

    @Daryl C
    Almond milk can be good but most store brands will contain some sweetener and/or preservatives. Your best bet is to make your own. It’s basically blanched almonds blended with water. You can find recipes on line.

    Lunch consisted of yummy leftovers from last night’s dinner:
    Beef w/boy chok, spinach, onions, red pepper in coconut milk w/ red curry & red pepper flakes – HOT!

    Just to add…I have to agree with Tania…losing 10lbs certainly has made pullups possible and easier for me! Nutrition makes a huge difference. All these years, I thought I was eating “healthy”. Not so much…but now I’m on the right path – thank you!

    Jo,
    I had limited veggies on hand when making your spaghetti squash. I used ground beef, onions with spag. squash. I used tumeric, curry, paprika, garlic and ginger in 1 full can of coconut milk…very delicious!

    Thanks for sharing :-)
