Too many cookie cakes.

My best girl right now is living the Paleo WHOLE30... and I capitalize it because it really is 30 days of whole eating. There is no free meal or free day. She is being such a champ and sticking with it too! I am contemplating it. I need to rid myself of lots of toxins. I have been eating fewer carbs and when I do eat them, I have fruit, and I can really tell a difference in how I feel.

I had chicken, brussel sprouts and an orange for lunch and I am much more satisfied then I was yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday and I had so much cookie cake, like a ridiculous amount of cookie cake... and yes, this was 29, the last year of my twenties, but I went to bed last night feeling awful. I had not had carbs like that in a long time, and they didn't sit very well. I have been trying to do Paleo 80/20... I make a few exceptions each day, but for the most part I try to do paleo. I am slowly working my way to the Whole 30.

Stephanie is so brave, she is making so many changes all at once, I feel super overwhelmed by change and the minute you tell me I can't have something I fixate on it, and then end up eating a cookie cake... see my meals from yesterday... but I woke up feeling sick today too, and as I got up early to make myself get on the treadmill for a bit, i decided in a way that cookie cake was not worth the hassel. I had trouble falling asleep, and woke up several times. My stomach felt icky and bloated.

Just having my normal 80/20 paleo meals today has made such a difference in how I feel. Not only am I losing weight ( 153 this morning - down from a high of 166, 13 pounds Heck yes!)

I just feel better, healthier. I want to feel this way all the time. I wish my headcold that I have been sporting since Boone would go away, then I would really be able to pick back up with my 5K training, which has fallen to the wayside since I can't breathe out of my nose.

I am getting ready to change into my gym clothes, and work out for a bit. I have been doing slighly less intense workouts, but still having beneficial results, so I am going to push when I need to to bust some plateaus, but that has not really happened yet.

I want to be at 145 by June 14th, that is 22 days from now... almost three weeks. 8 pounds in about a month... hopefully I can do it.

Proof that work loves me, this was two of the three cookie cakes they gave me, and don't forget the banana nutella cupcakes jody made too.. Ohhh goodness no wonder I felt bad. I also had bread with my steak at outback with my parents.  A lovely birthday was had, but no more carbs for a while, unless I can get a beer or maybe a nice glass of wine... I like to drink my carbs... I am going to have to work on that too! Here is to a healthy memorial day weekend. Burger, no bun... yes please.
