W30 D16 Tiger Blood

No headache/nausea today! Thank goodness! I made a point to eat alot of pork before eating potatoes for breakfast. It worked! I must remember to eat alot of protein before carbs to feel good! I continue to drink 9-12 cups of water a day! That fills my smoothie cup 3 times.

Last night I made Sloppy Joes. The BBQ recipe was from the Cookbook. It was okay. Meh. I think of BBQ sauce needing sugar and this one, of course, didn't have any. It was my first meal that I wasn't totally crazy about.

Tonight I'm making Zuppa Toscana. It's a recipe from the Olive Garden. We also make it at PFC. I only have dehydrated kale chips (recipe calls for kale) so I'll be putting those in the soup. We'll see how it turns out.  I may throw in some frozen spinach too!

Another day off work. I organized my PFC binder today. Now everything is completely organized. My head feels so clear. I took the dog for a run. Felt good to get out there! Marathon training begins in May for my October Chicago Marathon. I'm thinking about running the Lake Run Club Half on May 6 at Lake Bloomington! That will help me build my confidence that I can run long distances again! Plus eating this way will help!

I weighed myself and have lost 6 pounds (169 to 163) in 2 weeks. I'm not going to weigh myself again til the W30 is over. I broke the rules by weighing myself half way through. Oh well. I no longer worry about what the scale says every day. I have 12 pounds to lose to be the weight I was during my last marathon training (152). I know I can do it!!

TIGER BLOOD:
According to What To Expect On The Whole30, today starts Tiger Blood! It is when you get crazy amounts of energy and want to clean/organize everything! This came early for me in the challenge. I now feel like I have steady energy every day. Depending upon if I have headaches/nausea depends upon how much I get done. I'm hoping that by eating protein before carbs in the morning will help keep my headaches away. Time will tell...
