DAILY RECAP
Today was an interesting day. I am pleased that I passed the goat cheese test! I was nervous that I wouldn't. Cheese is a great pleasure in my life, I hope I have good result with cow cheese as well. Cow Cheese? That sounds ridiculous!
I had steady energy all day, not the manic ADHD energy I usually have. At 'nap time' I just put on the Brainwave Tuner app on my phone and meditated on my goals.
I spent a lot of time going back and tweaking my old entries, fixing mistakes and updating images. Around snack time I realized that I didn't have the apricot jam or zucchini I needed to prepare chicken. I made a list and got Ollie ready to head out the door (this always takes so much more time than anticipated).
Shopping took forever! I had to get my list and the big boys list. I was having a very hard focusing because Ollie was bored and demanding entertainment. I was goofing off with my chunk-a-monk, not paying attention to where I was in the store. I had to back-track so many times! I'm not sure why, but my body does not like grocery shopping. Perhaps the stress produces cortisol? I am always swollen and bloatey after household shopping.
When we got home, I spent an hour putting groceries away. By the time I had dinner on my plate I was two hours away from bed time! *Adam asked to have a bite of my dinner today. That means that it looked and smelled awesome. :)
If my weight has stabilized or gone up tomorrow, I'll have a difficult time deciding the cause. Am I reactive to Rye or did the combination of Grocery Bloat and eating & drinking too late in the evening cause my gain? I guess we'll see tomorrow!
