CrazyCow Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 So this is pretty much what I've become. As you can see, our friend the sloth is not wearing any clothes. That's because none of mine fit! lol Anyway, Day 6 here. The family has been sick, and I evaded it all...until today. That said, I've eaten well despite this, but I'll deal with logging food from tomorrow. As for activity, went to yoga on Sunday with a daughter, and half-way through pretty much figured I'd accidentally joined the seventh circle of hell. Suffice to say it. was. not. easy. But! after lounging with a duvet on the sofa all day, I'm hoping I'll turn the corner for tomorrow. G'night all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCow Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Blue is food Pinky-purple is activity Happy Wednesday and Day 7! Still fighting whatever bug there is, which doesn't make me want to eat at all, but I will persevere. I can pretty much guarantee no activity today, as my head is killing me when I stand up and move. Rather nasty bug! M1: Roasted veggies with emergency meat and an egg thrown in for good measure. Banana, too. Coffee with coconut cream. M2: nothing, I slept through that. Had some homemade jerky though, when I woke up. M3: (cue heavenly music) Butter Chicken. LOVE. THIS. SO. MUCH. Had it with green beans, also tasty. (click it, it's a link!) Had water through the day and generally feel much better. Back to work tomorrow--have some nice food planned so I'm excited. Woot woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Have you gained weight since your first W30? That's because none of mine fit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCow Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 @kirkor I have! But it would be more fair to say, I've gained weight since my 4th W30. Here's what I can say about that: Amidst endurance event #5 in May, a completely new job in April, a house move in August (but only partial, as the house we moved out of is being worked on, so being between two houses), a school move for kids in September, and I'm sure there's more change I'm forgetting--I simply stopped making good food choices. And by that I mean, rather than spend the 20 minutes the night before to prepare for the next day, I just zoned out, and started the next day not wanting to prepare food because I hate doing that in the morning--and the cycle continued. So here we are. I love eating W30, or at the very least I know I'm at my best as a strict paleo--but if I'm not disciplined with simply taking those 20 minutes each evening, I sabotage myself and out come the cream donuts. Also coming off the event, I stopped my activity level, too. That I need to address this W30 cycle, and that's a time management issue for me. But no one else is going to make the time--that's all down to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCow Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Day 8 Folks: M1: absolutely fantastic wonderful pumpkin porridge. Recipe here--though this iteration rather than apples, I added a handful of shredded coconut, a chopped date and a few chopped almonds to the mix. Wow was that good. M2: Spinach with Butter chicken Water and coffee with coconut cream through the day, wahay! M3: a very small pork chop, some grilled onions, peppers and tomatoes. Nothing particularly earth shattering, but I guess it can't all be. No much in the way of activity: still recovering from whatever this bug was/is--but I did walk more than normal on a workday. I must do better on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...ordered a salad across the way with chicken, olives, banana peppers, sundried tomatoes, field greens and balsamic vinegar. Nice save.
