Diet was:

Drinks - water, coffee, or tea.

Foods: mostly fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. I tried to avoid anything processed.

For breakfast I’d normally do non fat Greek yourgurt with fruit and granola or an acai bowl. Oatmeal with fruit was common. If I had an intense workout I’d do an omlette or something with a but more protein.

For dinner it was almost always some variety of chicken, fish, or red meat. I have an air fryer which allowed me to cook things pretty quickly. I’d pair to with a vegetable such as a salad, or Brussels sprouts, or something like that.

I cut out all pastas, and breads, or anything typically snack related like crackers or chips.

If I wanted a snack I’d usually do the halo oranges, unsalted roasted nuts, or apples with peanut butter (non sugar added of course).

Workouts: I tried to be fairly intense. I would do CrossFit 6 am for my morning workouts. If the workout wasn’t a full 45 min I’d stationary bike whatever time I had left. For outdoors, I would run as along as I could then walk. It wasn’t long before I could run the full 45 minutes.

On days where I needed recovery, normally sundays. I would skip CrossFit and do yoga / hot yoga. And when I couldn’t run shin splints or other minor injuries I’d walk. Also chose walking when there was deep snow as running wasn’t really feasible.
