My 3 day "Stay-Cation" is over so back to work for me today :(  Got a lot of cleaning/organizing done, so I feel like I accomplished something - and I got to exercise everyday.  Didn't go to the gym yesterday, but still managed to get almost 10,000 steps in just running errands.

 

M1 - breakfast hash w extra power greens topped w 2 over easy eggs and black coffee

 

M2 - BBQ pork chop, 1/2 c sweet potato w ghee, cabbage sautéed in bacon fat

 

M3 - HUGE salad of baby greens, spinach, kale, chard, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, radish, red pepper, beets and avocado topped w 1 hb egg and BBQ chicken breast.  Dressed w lemon juice and avocado oil.

M3 yesterday was at 4:45 pm and I took a body pump class at 5:45 pm yesterday.  My meal times were all earlier than normal because I got up a 4:30 am to make it to an appt on time.  I did not eat a post work out snack because 1)I didn't have anything with me and was an hour from home and 2)I was still full from M3.  I'm thinking that was a mistake because I couldn't get to sleep later in the evening - largely because I was hungry.  Finally got out of bed at 11 pm and made 2 over easy eggs, 2 pc bacon and a couple bites of sweet potato and I was finally able to get to sleep.  I should have had a post work out meal....

 

Still waiting for the results of the thyroid panel my doctor ran last week.  Wonder how long this takes?

M2 - not template, but it's what I really wanted.  Vanilla avocado smoothie made w a whole small avocado, 1/3 cup coconut milk, splash of vanilla, sprinkle of vanilla bean powder and a scoop of Jay Robb vanilla whey powder.  Added water and ice to get the right consistency. Delish!

M1 - 2 over easy eggs, 3 pc bacon, black coffee w co.  Not a veggie in sight this morning :(

M2 HUGE salad (leftover from last night) dressed w avocado oil and champagne vinegar w a slice of paleo meatloaf

M3 will be more meatloaf, green beans w ghee and roasted brussels sprouts

 

Did a massive cook up today. made Johnny's meatloaf again and this time I put all the ketchup in the meat mixture and added a second egg.  I've decided a really do like the thyme flavor,but I still only use half a teaspoon in the recipe.  Sliced it, wrapped it and put most of it in the freezer.  Made a huge batch of breakfast hash using ground pork, turnips, orange and red pepper and baby bella mushrooms.  Portioned it and put it in the freezer - at least 2 week's worth.  Made regular meatloaf and potatoes au gratin for the kids.  Prepped the green beans, fresh corn for the kids and brussels sprouts.  I should be good for food for a while.  I have carnitas, kalua pig and chicken breast in the freezer too.

Thyroid test results all came back and they look normal to me.  So, it's probably menopause that's causing my issues :(  Or worse yet, it could be something I'm eating.  I hope not.  I like my food a lot.

Think I am going to stop the Elestrin (estrogen) gel I've been using for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms.  I use the lowest dosage and only every other day, but that could be contributing to the bloating I'm experiencing.  I'll give this change a week or two before I start the next test - Low FODMAP.  I printed out the Low FODMAP list and can I just say I how sad I am to see several of my favorite foods on the list?  I have a bunch of avocados, broccoli, beets and brussels sprouts in the fridge, so I am going to phase out the FODMAPS over the next two weeks.  

 

Things I eat on a regular basis that I will give up for a month or so:

 

Asparagus, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, garlic, mushrooms, okra, onions and avocados.  Seriously - I would cry except that I see sweet potatoes (with coconut oil - my new favorite) ARE okay to eat.

Went out at lunch and bought Garden of Life Raw Enzymes.  Doesn't appear to contain any noncompliant ingredients.  The first four brands I looked at had malodextrin in them.  Hope this helps with the bloating.

So I've been doing a lot of reading on leaky gut and it occurred to me that I had two 10 day courses of powerful antibiotics and a course of steroids in February. Now I've had two back to back yeast infections. So, I'm pretty sure my gut is all messed up.

 

I bought some Garden of Life Raw Enzymes w probiotics and started taking them with each meal on Wednesday. My stomach has felt like it had a big rock in it every time I ate, but that's starting to get better and I'm finally getting hungry for meals again. I hate that overstuffed miserable feeling. My portions have not changed nor have the foods I eat. Pretty much the same thing every day, so it's a relief that things seem to be getting back to normal. Who knew that I'd WANT to feel hungry grinning.png

I also added a cup of kamboucha each day and I'm pulling some bone broth out of the freezer to start drinking again. I've lost three pounds so far (a pound a day) and the bloat is going away slowly but surely. I haven't even changed my diet yet, so hopefully I can keep eating all the FODMAPs that I love. I have 3 or 4 lbs to go to get back to "normal".

Heading into work in a few. Food today:

M1 - breakfast hash (ground pork, turnips, red pepper and mushrooms) topped w 3 over easy eggs all cooked in coconut oil

M2 - big salad w baby greens, spinach, kale, carrots, cucumber, radish, broccoli, beets and avocado topped w a hb egg, roasted chicken thigh and dressed w lemon juice and avocado oil

M3 - TBD, but I'm thinking steak

Breakfast out yesterday was not good.  I knew before I left the restaurant that the food had been cooked in soybean oil.  Stomach bloated up and started to hurt almost immediately.  I asked the restaurant manager about it before I left and yep, they use soybean oil.  Why is it that so many people think soy is healthy??

 

M3 was my M2 yesterday and I also ate M3 out.  I ordered an antipasto salad without any cheese.  Didn't notice any ill effects from the pepperoni, salami and ham fortunately.  Back to MY food today.

M2 - chuck roast topped w bone broth thickened w xanthan gum, couple of cups of roasted veggies - green beans, broccoli, carrots, red pepper and zucchini w a drizzle of avocado oil, half a cosmic cranberry kombucha
