This past Sunday, I ran the Saratoga Palio 5K in 23:37, my fastest race of the year, but not technically a PR because I ran a 5K last year in 23:23. I was determined to get a PR for that race, but I came up short at the end because I had a little too much pumpkin pie the night before. Instead of pushing hard at the end like I usually do, I was busy trying to hold vomit down. This experience opened my eyes to the fact that I need to eat better if I want to perform better so I was on a mission the next day. I cleaned out the entire kitchen and got rid of all the processed junk in my house. Then I went shopping and bought whole foods. Not everything in the cart is clean eating approved, but I still think I did pretty good so I thought I'd share my list with you:
- lots of fruits!
- veggies (fresh & frozen)
- chicken
- turkey
- tilapia
- tuna
- quick oats
- raw nuts & seeds
- natural pb
- almond butter
- plain greek yogurt
- eggs
- chick peas
- kidney beans
- brown rice
- 1% milk & chocolate milk
- unsweetened applesauce
- pure maple syrup
- honey
- ezekiel bread
- kashi cereals
- whole wheat flour
- green tea
- orange juice
