An addendum to the last post. I woke up in the middle of the night so nauseated I had to go sit in the bathroom and drink water. I was able to go back to bed later, but my stomach has been chattering since last night, I have a residual headache, and I feel pretty off my game today. Mental focus is low. Time to eat a healthy meal. Not sure what I'm ( Read more... )

Today was awful. I made three half recipes of paleo chocolate chip cookies, a half recipe of paleo brownies, and paleo fudge. I ate a quarter of that (probably 8 cookies and 3 pieces of fudge) and I had such an awful headache! Just from too much natural sugar! (honey and maple syrup) I felt so awful, so I decided that if I was going to feel awful ( Read more... )

I'm not extending to a whole45. I don't need to. I went grocery shopping yesterday, and I bought all compliant foods. I'm excited about learning how to make squash spaghetti, finding uses for almond and cashew butter (which are both delicious! I tried them for the first time yesterday. I'd rather bake with them though; I haven't eaten peanut butter ( Read more... )

I went to the gym today, and I love exercise. I was fairly nonplussed until about 2.5 miles in and then the right song came on, endorphins kicked in, and I felt JOYOUS. Which is usually how I feel after visiting the gym. I've been sore every day this week, but not sore enough that I can't function, and it feels great. Once you adjust one thing in ( Read more... )

It's day 29, it's day 29, it's officially day 29 29.

I had a dream last night that I put the cookies in my kitchen and all sorts of people started eating them, and I became disgruntled that there would be no cookies left for me when w30 ends ( Read more... )

Ugh, go faster ( Read more... )

And I thought today was day 27. How unfortunate. I made more cookies today because I was invited to superbowl parties tomorrow, and one of them is making me whole30 approved food. Of course, I had to reciprocate. They're m&m sugar cookies kind of. Not enough brown sugar, a little too much flour, add a little ghee. They look pretty tasty though. ( Read more... )

Cue another habit of mine: the assumption that since I am going to the gym, the gym is immediately benefitting and I look hotter already. Not true, trese, not true.

WOOHOO! Twenty days to go. Truthfully, when I'm not looking at pictures of sweets all day, I don't miss sweets. Sure, I like baking, and having sweets every once in awhile. But as long as I'm busy living life, I feel great without them. Made a giant soup today. Should have stopped before the beets ( Read more... )
