W30 R2 D8-15

I lost track of what day I was on. FIFTEEN ALREADY!! Time flies the second time around! A few days ago I had a sinus infection and took some generic Emergen-C vitamins in the middle of the night in water. For the next day I was severely nauseous and burpy. It was HORRIBLE! It happened after eating a banana/egg pancake but I think it was the Emergen-C not the pancake. But I'm forever grossed out by those pancakes. My body reacted the same way it did to that Ghirardelli chocolate bar I ate during reintroduction and regretted. I couldn't take the kids to school and spent the day on the couch in misery. I threw the package away so I need to go to Walgreens and see what was in it. It had to be sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Other than that and taking ricola for my cough I've been compliant. I took my last antibiotic today so I'm happy to be feeling better.

I still don't have Tiger Blood but I do have more energy because I ran for 1.5 hours yesterday and don't feel exhausted today. Improvement! I'm still really burpy though. It comes and goes after eating. I'm still trying to find the culprit. I think it is from sugar, even natural sugar, like fruit. It's annoying. When I'm REALLY burpy is when I also get nauseous.

Last night after showering I really wanted to step on the scale. I typically fight this urge. But yesterday I gave in. After running, eating and drinking water all day, I normally weigh 3-5 pounds heavier than I do first thing in the morning. So I was expecting last night to see a high number on the scale. It said 159. 159!!! I couldn't believe it!! I got on the scale 3 times to make sure it was accurate. This means I'm out of the 160s!! I've been working so hard to do this. That means I probably weight about 155 in the mornings. But I'll wait til D30 to find out!

I started at 183 at my heaviest. When I started Whole30 I was at 169. So I've lost 10 pounds on W30 in 1.5 rounds plus a month of reintroduction. NOT BAD!! This includes NEVER logging what I eat or counting calories. When I was doing My Fitness Pal I lost weight too. But would always gain it back when I stopped counting calories. So this is a BIG NSV!

I'm still trying to figure out my nutrition with exercise. I ate 2 hard boiled eggs and 1/2 a left over chicken apple sausage with zucchini for breakfast. I ate a larabar before the St. Patrick's Day 5k. I ran doing 1:00/:30 intervals keeping my heart rate at 140.  I felt fine afterwards so I ran another 40 minutes with MJ. I ate Thai Chicken Curry and felt burpy and nauseous. I thought maybe it was from the larabar and chia banana/strawberry packet I ate earlier. Fortunately the symptoms didn't last long and I bounced back. But I wish I could figure out exactly what makes me nauseous after exercise. I know when I go too hard I feel sick but I've been going really gently lately.

I started 30 Days of Yoga today. It felt good to do some stretching. My friend, Tara, from Tucson posted on Facebook about it which is why I'm doing it. It started 3 days ago but I procrastinated. Better late than never...

I've given myself permission to eat SWYPO foods this round but haven't. Mainly because I haven't felt like baking. But making Paleo bagels sound amazing...
