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 […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 16
Today was another tired day. I did some housework, cooking and mommy stuff, but mainly I rested. I was moderately irritable and felt fed up with everything which tells me I definitely needed a break and a time out. I just wanted to order pizza for dinner and curl up on the sofa so I didn’t […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 15, Half Way Through!
Overall I definitely feel better than when I started the challenge just over two weeks ago. It’s been almost a week since I had the last illegals, and it’s been easier than I thought to stay away from them. A health challenge was definitely what I needed to refocus. I checked my weight and took my measurements. The […]
30 day Health Challenge – Day 14
I was fairly tired today and spent much of the day resting. I didn’t feel too bad overall but I felt the need to give myself a break (though I did the same yesterday). It may have been the rough night of sleep Katie – and therefore I – got last night or detox or healing or hormones or who […]
