Whole30 Day 12

Missed breakfast at home because we had an unexpected mess in the kitchen! I ate breakfast at Miss Sue's: herb mix salad with boiled egg, walnuts, evoo, salt and pepper. Lunch was pretty much the same, since her shrimp had gone bad: herb mix salad with avocado, walnuts, lemon juice, evoo, salt and pepper.
My tummy was upset by the cilantro, but it went away.
Dinner, fried fish (coconut flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, turmeric) with sauteed turnip greens and spinach with garlic, coconut oil, salt, pepper, moar turmeric and a small sweet potato with evoo and cinnamon.
Ihad strage dreams last night, creepy in retrospect. But awesome when me and Brandy ran along the rooftops and jumped to lower roofs to get away.
The Ikea catalog came and I am in heaven. I forgot to take my epsom.salt bath and do this post. Ooopsie! Still eating a high fiber diet because I rock like that.
Oh, and I created my weekly menu.

Whole30 day 11

Awesome day. Last night I read up on nerd fitness and made changes. Skipped breakfast, worked out hard. Motivated myself by saying, wait until I'm lifting 25 pounds (dumbell rows)! Wait until I'm dead lifting 100 pounds! Etc etc. Worked wonders. I worked harder, faster and everything seemed lighter and easier. I killed the voice that says "this is so hard, so heavy, Ughhh, etc" and replaced it with confidence! I did stair jump things and body lifts using the pool table! These are from the advanced workout. I revisited the videos.lazt night. I'd been doing some wrong and today I corrected my form.
When I was done, I turned back to the Wii Fit Plus and did 20+ minutes advanced yoga. I finished at 10:30. I didn't eat until noon. Big lunch! Salad with salmon, boiled eggs, avo, cuc, onions, bell peppers, evoo. Nuts and seeds for snacks. Spaghetti with meatsauce on zoodles, sauteed greens, and a quick cucumber salad. Next time.use more zucchini. Recipe posted earlier so I can make it again and find it.
Waaaay more energetic today. Epsom.salt and.cider vinegar bath, coconut oil on skin.  Beeed. Tired. Go.away.

Spaghetti with Zoodles

Organic tomato paste
2 cups water
1T italian seasoning blend
1T parsley

1/2 T oregano

2-4 Zucchini, peeled, core saved for later.
Oil, salt, pepper, garlic
Sauté garlic in oil, add zoodles seasoned with salt and pepper, over medium heat until limp and translucent. (One zucchini per person.) Serve with sauce.

Habit Change

I'm reading about changing habits at Nerd Fitness. I've picked the one I've been battling with and don't understand: getting tired btween 2-4 pm every day and wanting to go lay down. I don't lay down as often as I used to. I used to spend most of my time in bed, just a few months ago! However, this silly brain of mine sees differently. Silly brain says "I'm tired. Go lay down. I'm going on strike until I get what I want. No energy for you!!!" Well sorry bud-dy... Not gonna happen again! Next time I have that feeling, I'm going for a walk outside! I can rake, or clean the patio, check the mail, or walk up the road. If it's bad weather I can do dishes. I will just keep movng and if my brain keeps.throwing out that cue, I can think opposite thoughts like "I'm so full of energy! I love being outside! I love cleaning!!"
I also think part of it.is from boredom. I work out, eat and clean up in the am. Eat some more. Then I don't wanna clean or I can't think of anything to do, so my brain says NAP!! Funny thing is, I do have plans! Get on the computer and find a new JOB! Instead, my brain is shutting down. Uh oh. I am starting to see a pattern!
Plan: schedule what I want to do into my phone. This works with meals and working out. And then, if my brain cues "I'm tired! I have no energy. I don't feel good.", I will get up and move around! Walk! Go outside and rake! Clean up the patio! Strip Tessa's vanity, etc. Motivate myself with my.thoughts by saying how much I like doing new said thing.
So Ima change this one habit. Yes I am! One bad habit at a time.

Whole30 part 2, hiking and a picnic

I really hate this app. I lost everything again. I'm not fixin' to retype everything. Humph!!
We went hiking. We had almonds, strawberries and sunflower seeds for a picnic. We hiked some more. Brandy helped some kids catch tiny frogs.
We came home, they had burgers, I had left over shrimp. We were exhausted and David and me slept for two hours! I woke up energetic.
For supper I threw leftover steak in a pan and tossed that on a salad and had a really small sweet potato. For dinner we had a fried avocado. Tip? Don't use coconut oil. It foams up and you get mush. EVOO works fine.
Avocado, sliced, pitted, and peeled. I cut the halves in half so it's quartered. I mix coconut milk into 1 beaten egg (Don't eat the cream! Bahahaha) and double dip: avo into seasoned coconut flour, egg, flour. I fry them in a small cast iron skillet, about 3-4 T oil, couple minutes per side until browned. I mixed the leftover flour and egg and fried it up like a savory pancake. Delicious! I'm losing my anger at myself for losing my post, my throat still hurts, and I need a bath... Epsom salt here I come! Oh and we played snakes and ladders, then I realized I lost my post, snapped at Brandy, David slid down a snake, and I said phooey on this. Wasn't fun anymore. Watching Madagascar cartoons on netflix. Oh and one more thing, I hated the fried avo the first time I made it, but I'd cut it into smaller pieces and used cocnut oil and it was a nasty mess. Now I use big chunks and it's nommers. Sorry this is a mess.  It is what it is.

Whole30 Day 9 part 2 and Day 10

I didn't much care for.last night's dinner. It was chicken bok choy stirfry with tahini, termuric and ginger... And the bok choy? Not so much. We'll stick.with baby bok choy in the future. The meat was good, left over from rosemary chicken the other evening. I gave my plate to david and had a small salad. Later that evenening I nom nommed on.some leftover shrimp. Had broth withbmy vitamin and got heart burn. Tookbmy calcium ane was bterr. Read the label and it's not whole30... Poop!
Speaking of poop, I'm constipated, and then moar heartburn, indigestion, etc. I put nuts, fruits and seed back on the menu. So.worried about carbs and allergies, that I made myself sick.
Breakfast, day 10:
Fried avacado (coconut flour, egg, evoo)
Half golden delicious apple
23 almonds (1 serving)
28 g carbs, 13 g fiber

Booya! Half way there. Also going to watch the fat intake the rest of the day and avoid hamburger for a few days.

Whole30 Day 9 part 1

Blogging is helping me stay on track and keeps me accountable! I am having gassy stomach but I think that has to do with constipation. Need moar fiber!
Made breakfast. Threw leftover grilled yellow squash in a pan with last night's supper, a tiny bit of steak and salad and added spinach.  Put two fried eggs on top. And it was yuck. The spinach was slimy and I didn't finish my greens.
I'm.going to pay attention to how much fat I'm eating and make sure it isn't too much and no salad today! Give my tummy a break from lettuce. I have a tendency to finish my playe even if Ibdon't want to. Out of paper plates and our regular plates are too damn big. Don't fill your plate! So, smaller portions, watch the fat, no lettuce. Going to eat fish and chicken today. Also start looking for another job and put up the towels and do dishes. It's my "play day" so I can zumba for however long I want or yoga, or whatever I choose!

Whole30 Day 8 part 2

Tired. Got tired around 2 and am still tired. Idk what is wrong. Maybe working out makes me sleepy?? Going to soak in an epsom salt bath.
Since I was grilling over charcoal, I made two large sirloins each seasoned.differently and cut the second one up for beef broccoli stirfry. Made some summer squash for morning and forgot about it! Then I had to "taste" it. Hahaha!
Dinner: sirloin steak and salad.
