I (Melissa) am bored with the gym. Bored with deadlifts and pull-ups, back squats and presses, rowing and running. I re-discovered the bench press and the Prowler this summer, which peaked my interest for a few weeks, but all in all, I’m bored.

We traveled for 70 days, drove 12,300 miles and passed through 24 states (not including two provinces in British Columbia).

Whole9 US Tour: The Mid-Atlantic, plus Atlanta

On that note, Dallas and I mentioned on Robb’s podcast that we’ll be doing our own Road Trip Whole30 in May. First, we really need to spend some time 100% Eating Good Food ourselves – we’ve been having a little TOO much fun in the last month or two.

We’re on the road a lot, and while we still “make” about half our meals while traveling (either packing a cooler or picking up food at the local Whole-Foods style market), we do dine out quite a bit. Unfortunately, most restaurants offer a serious set of challenges in our quest to Eat Good Food. [...]
