Day 3 Update: Just noticed my allergic symptoms are improving - nasal congestion and itchy eyes are all but gone! That is despite the fact that the weed pollen report for my area is still high, and grass is moderate! Wow!

DAY 4

I woke feeling well rested but not too hungry. I cooked breakfast anyway but struggled to get through it. Stopped about half way through and thought I'd eat the rest for pre-workout meal. STILL couldn't eat! Eventually, got hungry to eat it for Meal 2 and added some avocado. Appetite is good now. BM's are regular, every day, but loose. Hopefully this will even out.

Meal 1:

Last night's vege stirfry leftovers in an omelette with 3 eggs cooked in olive oil and ghee (1tbsp total) and 2c spinach with a serving of blackberries. Black coffee.

I could only eat half of my meal....it was a real effort to get it down.

Pre-WO

Couldn't eat.

Workout: Strength Training (Moderate weight)

Post-WO

Chicken breast/butternut squash

Meal 2:

The other half of meal 1 with 1/2 avocado added. Feeling better!

Meal 3:

Zucchini zoodles with grass fed organic beef and tomato sauce made with ample EVOO, green pepper and yellow onion.

After breakfast, took a business call, grocery shopped, prepped lunch, another business call, strength workout, cleaned house, cooked chili lime chicken wings and roasted some butternut squash, prepared dinner and finally sat down at 8pm.

Still hungry....hmm....SWYPO?
