Day 14, 15, 16, 17

I've been having a mild form of Tiger Blood. I ate coconut milk yogurt with rice starch or the taco seasoning had gluten in it but I felt REALLY itchy on Day 15. It was miserable and made the food I ate not worth it. Only lasted a day, thank God.

I've been on Renew Life CandiSmart for 8 of 15 days. My Candida Wellness products came so I'm switching over to that program early. I just want to heal as fast as possible and stop being so itchy.

Day 17 and I'm more exhausted than usual. Hoping I have my energy back tomorrow. Also I've been anxious today. Not sure why. I just think healing is going to take time because I'm so sick with Candida.

I've also lost my appetite. Just not eating as much. This happened before and it's nice not to be craving sweets anymore. The Sugar Dragon is asleep. The first 2 weeks I was always hungry.

I made Dump Ranch for the first time. It was really easy and I like it better than Tessemae's!

Almost Half Way

I'm almost half way through another round, my 2nd full round. Day 13. I'm also struggling with a yeast infection and began Renew Life CandiSmart 15 day Yeast Cleanse Program. I'm on Day 5 of that! The first day, 1.9.13. I was nauseous and exhausted from die-off but it only lasted one day from starting the supplements.

I've had 2 dreams of eating soy sauce, ice cream, and cheezits! Only a bite of each because I really didn't want them. I made 900 meals in 2 days at work and by the end of the second day I would normally be exhausted but I was full of energy for a Friday night! It felt like the beginnings of Tiger Blood but I don't have that energy today, Saturday, 1.13.18. I went to yoga at Green Top this morning! It felt good to stretch. Yoga feels as challenging as running does. 

I weighed myself for the first time since December. 157.5. Waist 35". That's 2 pounds more than at Christmas and 2 inches bigger also. I'm thankful I'm not focusing on those numbers anymore and doing this so I don't itch anymore and will have more energy and less brain fog. 

Another NSV is that all the meals I've made lately taste amazing! Better and more satisfying than usual! I'm putting all leftovers in portioned glass containers for lunches. It makes eating leftovers easier. I'm saving all my favorite recipes on a Pinterest board so I don't lose them!

I've just read through my blogs from my first round a year ago. One thing I've noticed is I've never had chronic headaches since last year! And I kept 10 pounds off last year! I'm still itchy as ever, even more so. My goal is to focus on becoming less itchy and more energetic!

Another Round of W30

Jan 1, 2018 began another round of Whole30. November 2016 was my first attempt at W30. I lasted a few weeks. January 2017 was my first successful round. Then I did mini resets in March, May and November. Now I'm doing my second full W30. Chale and I plan on doing it W90 or longer! We'll see...

I'm proud of

Days 1-4 I had Tiger Blood. I thought maybe I would skip the nausea exhausted cravings but that came on Day 5.

Day 5 was rough. Days 6-8 weren't much easier. I went to the doctor for a yeast infection and he said there wasn't anything he could do for me since I take a medication that isn't compatible with Diflucan. So I'm treating it naturally with Renew Life 15 Day Yeast Cleanse.

Day 9- I started the cleanse and felt exhausted, nauseous, and brain foggy. I reminded myself that this is temporary and Tiger Blood is waiting for me!

Chale and I text every day and support each other. This is so helpful!
