All is well. Still eating healthy, with very little meat and dairy (seafood once a week and goat cheese once or twice). For dinner over the last week I’ve had pad thai made with store bought sauce, rice noodles, zucchini, carrots, tofu and bean sprouts; forbidden rice with artichokes, sundried tomatoes, shrimp and a little goat cheese; vegetarian chili, and went out for sushi. Lunches are leftovers and I also roasted vegetables and had that with a Sunshine burger; breakfast has been fruit or a smoothie with sprouted grain toast and avocado or peanut butter. Snacks include almonds, dried fruit, soup, hummus and fruit.
Exercise has been good. Snow shoeing, cycling, staining floors, pilates and yoga. Tomorrow I’m going to a yoga workshop at All That Matters and a then fundraiser for Clean Ocean Access with some friends.
Overall I’m feeling good. Haven’t lost any weight, but that’s to be expected. I do feel a little slimmer, and fit into a few pairs of jeans a little better than a few weeks ago. Progress is good!
Ok, now to the girl talk. I wrote a lot more the first time, but here’s the summary. Bascially started my period yesterday which is usually 24-48 hours of bad cramps at least one very sleepless night, and more bad cramps. Although I tossed and turned a bit last night, the pain was minimal and today I felt good and had much more energy than I normally would. It’s pretty cool to see how many ways food can effect you. I’ve read alot about how eliminating dairy and animal foods can reduce PMS symptoms, but now I’m a believer. Very cool!
Happy Friday, have a great weekend and a healthy, happy week.
40 Days of Yoga starts next week, woohoo!
Be well,
Jess
