So yesterday started out well, but ended with me feeling ill. But first ,the basics.
FOOD - Day 6
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, banana
Lunch: Cran-Almond Chicken salad (from D'Brians, dressing was olive oil)
Dinner: NADA - couldn't bring myself to eat anything.
Water: Plenty...
EVERYTHING ELSE
So I was feeling really good yesterday. I had a great night's sleep. Productive day at work, even with the person who I wanted to kill on Monday. So on the drive home, I started feeling punk. My shoulder aching didn't help any - seems to not like driving. Once home, made a plan for G to get to bed early (he has been burning candle at both ends and it shows) and went to kitchen to make something for dinner.
I looked in the fridge, freezer, pantry (which we cleaned out and tossed everything not Whole30 except G's shelf - gotta leave the skinny kid something fun to eat) and nothing seemed even slightly palatable. I decided to just wait for me to feel hungry. Never happened. Iced shoulder and by 8pm, went to bed, still not feeling that well. Slept mostly well.
FOOD - Day 7
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, apple, macadamia nuts
SO FAR TODAY
I feel much better. Shoulder is not aching. I was hungry. The Day 7 Whole 30 email says I need to check into a few common errors. I need to evaluate these two:
#3 EAT MORE Energy dragging, but still afraid of fat or carbs? Eating enough of both sustains energy
levels, health, and athletic performance.
#4 BY-THE-NUMBERS You're so focused on your "numbers' - blocks, grams, calories, or body
weight - that you override all of the messages your body is trying to send you.
I think that I am not really worrying about the numbers. I had Pat hide the scale. However, when entering my food into MyFitnessPal.com, at the end of the day, a few times the message has said I need to consume more calories. It has made me wonder. I know from yesterday that I needed to eat more, but I am considering that more of an illness skip. I know my body wasn't happy because my morning urine was almost orange! (sorry for the TMI)
As for the 'eat more', this I have been contemplating. I know the areas where I need to add food. Breakfast is one, but I am struggling with vegetables that I can tolerate in the morning. Still really experimenting, but anything I have tried was not good, practically had to choke them down and they felt like they just sat in my stomach for the next couple of hours. I will keep trying. I also think that I need to add more to my pre-workout and post-workout. That isn't as hard as the recommendations are protein for the former and most of the time I just need to increase portion sized for my dinner to cover the later.
Well, back to work.
