jennor Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hello Sailor! Thank you for your kind comment. I certainly have more work to do with my snacking habits at night. Do you have trouble sleeping because you are hungry when you don't snack? I definitely do. Congratulations on Day 23 and keep on trucking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennor Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thank you, Ashley! I can't believe it is 29 already! Day 29 2014 01 24 Sleep: 7,5 or 7-ish. Worn down and tired from the week, I realized that I set my alarm too late. I woke up just in time to get my streak run in and head into work early. Last day at work before vacation, thank goodness! Food: Breakfast: frittata w/ veggies, black coffee, clementine Lunch: chicken wings, smoked chicken breast w/ mayo, salad (catered event with work) Snack: freeze dried fruits (catered, this was delicious but probably a food w/o breaks) Snack: Apple. Desperate for dinner! Dinner: three course dinner at the event. Good food, but I had to discard part of my entree because they put some lactose free milk goop on my plate. For dessert I got fruit, which was nice. Snack: handful walnuts and cranberries, clementine. 2 oranges, coconut. Slightly hungry but mostly tired and too wired too go to bed immediately after getting home. This time in my day needs a Whole30 of habit changing on its own! So, so tired. Today has been a 15 hour work day. Must sleeeeeep now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennor Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Day 30 2014 01 25 Sleep: 8+ hours! The kids woke up but I told my husband I thought he should take them downstairs, and that I needed some sleep. That almost never happens, usually I take them. It took me a while to go back to sleep but then I slept for an extra hour or so. Amazing! I am serious about doing a SleepWhole30 though, where I sleep at least 8 hours a night for 30 days. I think that was the first of them, in fact! Food: Breakfast: Cubed sweet potato, onion and apple hash, 2 eggs sunny side up, Moroccan dipping sauce. Double espresso w/ almond milk. De-caf w/ almond milk. Lunch: Same hash as for breakfast, lemon roasted chicken over big salad of spinach, tomato, avocado and apple. Spicy chipotle mayo. Followed by a de-caf almond milk latte, toasted coconut, almonds and cranberries. Yum, yum. Dinner: Exercise: 7.8 km (just under 5 mi) with kids in the stroller and my husband. It was freezing cold. We stopped at a playground and the kids played for a bit before we headed home to defrost them in a warm bath. Poor things. They will love to get some sun and warmth soon! I am thinking about tomorrow. I have a pretty clear idea about re-intro. With my immune system attacking my poor intestine any chance it gets (ulcerative colitis is an auto immune illness) I will definitely try not to provoke things. It will probably take years to heal, and maybe never be normal. Plus, I have been without gluten, milk, soy and legumes since the summer, so I am used to the life style. I will occasionally off-road, but it is becoming less tempting. However, I will celebrate with a few chocolate pralines carefully selected from a chocolatier tomorrow night, or some dark quality chocolate. That is my treat. Other than that I will continue eating this way. I still have some things I want to work on, habits I want to tweak further. Sleep is one such thing, and the evening snack galore another. Or, actually they are probably related. As I mentioned I have decided to sleep at least 8 hours the next 30 days. The first 16 should be easy as I will be off work and not have to get up at 5:20. Then I will probably do another w30 starting February 11. Off to feed the kids. Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
