30 Day Health Challenge 2.0 – Day 1
Deja vu? Nah. Doing it again! I joined a friend in her group challenge last November called the Eat Clean and Get Lean Challenge. She issues the challenge every six months as a sort of reset to get back or keep on track with healthy living. The requirements are to follow a 30 day food elimination […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 26-30, Sick, My Issues with an Allopathic Doctor, and What’s Next!
Well, I’m not finishing out the challenge very well. I’ve been down and out with an unfriendly virus or bacteria. When I get sick, my endocrine system tends to crash and my main symptoms become tiredness and weakness. It feels a bit like a cross between mono and the side effects of a lengthy fast. Not fun. […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 25
Update 11/29/11: I’ve been sick so didn’t finish the log for day 25. The egg nogg did not go voer well at all. My stomach was not happy with it in any way so that will not be a repeated treat. I don’t remember the rest of the day so there’s not much of a […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 24, A Clean Eats Thanksgiving!
That is one of the most enjoyable Thanksgiving days that I can remember. Though we were missing some key family members, it was filled with laughter, happiness, good company, and wonderful food. I cannot stress how comfortable I was with my food decisions. I.had.no.urge.to.cheat. My mother-in-law also makes pretty healthy dishes. She’s from northern Italy and definitely didn’t […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 23
After a good night’s sleep, I feel great. I’m very much looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow and getting some of the cooking done today. Have not had any trouble with the nuts in the Larabars. I guess that’s a good sign even though I would like to keep them out of my diet for now due […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 22
Today was a day off from blogging. Since I only had a couple of hours of sleep and was dealing with the after-effects of the muffin fiasco, ahem, I took a break. I did have my elderberry and tart cherry juice, oil pulled, drank green and nettle teas, has pizza from Whole Foods and Morning […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 21
Today was so much better. My thyroid either kicked back into gear or got a break (if it is my thyroid for sure), because I was able to go all day long with minimal breaks and was happy to spend much of my time playing with Katie in between cleaning tasts. I can’t wait until just about every […]
30 day Health Challenge – Days 18-20
Besides general cleaning and minor cooking, I spent the weekend in bed. I felt weak and shaky which would make me very tired as soon as I started a task. I made sure to eat enough so it wasn’t calorie depletion. I also have not been anywhere close to starving myself or restricting calories. I […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 17
The day wasn’t awful, but I was dragging through it again. That’s starting to get old. Being home with a three year old and having a traditional foods, grain-free kitchen does not leave much time for rest. These are the days I wistfully thing of slugging away at my desk, crunching numbers while I chug coffee and tea and […]
