Week 4 - Learning New Things

Well, I am almost at the end of week four.

New things that I have discovered:

1. I am actually sleeping better at night
2. I have not had to take any NSAIDS for my muscle pain…since this blocks lymphatic drainage, I'm trying not to use it.
3. I have not had any headaches, even at work
4. Some days I do not need to eat more than twice with a snack.
5. I'm learning the difference between hunger and thirst and cravings.
6. I still have cravings for sugar, but able to get through them.
7. I am drinking more water, just because…NOT because I have too
8. Not putting numbers on things, like calories or ounces of water, frees me to eat what I want of the good stuff and not worry about the minutia….Its working.
9. The BEST news yet: NO MORE NIGHT SWEATS!!!


Today's (or yesterday's) adventure in cooking included:

Nom Nom Paleo Pulled Pork in the Slow Cooker

Bacon cooked in the oven

(guess it was a piggy kind of day!)

Home made Tomato Sauce with Vine tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, garlic, Thyme, and artichokes.

(haha, my own recipe!)

Nom Nom Paleo Magic Mushroom Powder

YUM - I put this on just about everything!

My new Spice Rack!

All made easier by new cooking tools and spices in my cupboard!!!  I need to branch out a bit and I'm happy that I'm more a savory type eater than a sugary type eater, as I think this would be much harder.  I do know that not eating any sugar or processed foods has changed my taste buds and now when I eat fruit that I normally wouldn't eat, it tastes so sweet.  So I use it as my treat and definitely look forward to breakfast where I get to eat my strawberries and blueberries!

So…Onward and hoping that this "honeymoon" of good eating, turns into a happy marriage of good eating. 

Until next time….
