Woke up today with allergies. :( I'm not sure why I get allergies off and on like I do. I haven't been taking Zyrtec in at least 3 weeks now. I need to get more soon. I know that eating paleo is supposed to help with reducing allergies...and it may have, but I still have "bad days" and today has been one. :( Running, itchy nose and sneezing. So annoying!
Lunch was beef stew and a couple dehydrated apple slices (those went fast!). I had something else, but as of this moment I cannot remember what! I ate a couple blueberries at my aunt's house while nannying, and a cup of berry green tea. When my aunt and uncle got home we were discussing how my uncle and I are both irritable and grumpy. haha I am so ready to be finished with this challenge! I will continue to eat this way, but restricting things like dairy and alcohol are not good for my mental health. LOL I am dying to let loose and have a few drinks, have some pizza (I can eat gluten free pizza!), and have some cake or cookies. Being completely strict for 30 days has definitely wore me down. Doing it in January has been even a greater challenge, because it's already a gloomy month, with not much to do on the weekends due to the cold and wet conditions. My uncle was a bad boy again and drank some red wine last night. I saw the two wine glasses sitting next to the sink today! haha He hasn't stuck to this as well as I have, but that's ok. He says he has noticed a big improvement in how he feels overall, which goes to show how eating so clean does so much good to your body.
I came home and had dinner waiting- my sister brought me home a salad from Dewey's pizza- romaine lettuce, bacon pieces, tomatoes with their house balsamic dressing...and mom made a "soup" with kale, spicy tomatoes, pepperoni slices and kielbasa slices. It was good, but too spicy. Kielbasa is actually not Whole30 approved because it does have some nasty ingredients in it!
I'm really craving something sweet, but I'll stay strong and am now going to head to bed with the book I just got from the library: Robb Wolf's "The Paleo Solution". Yay!!
Tomorrow I have to run 7 miles, and I'll pick out some new recipes to try.
Only 4 days left in the challenge. I know I can make it!!!!!!!!
