Why Am I Eating Toast?

I feel absolutely lost lately. Since the storm, I’ve been nothing but AWFUL when it comes to diet and exercise. A big part of my problem is that I’m still sick and cannot seem to get over this awful sinus infection. I’m on cipro now to try and knock it out but as much as I seem to get better, I’m still not well.

Take today for example – I got up, went to supervision, then went bra shopping (ugh, I don’t even want to talk about it), then came home and took a 3 hour nap. When I woke up, my husband had to go to work so I gave him a ride (parking costs in NOLA are ridiculous), then stopped to eat pizza on the way home, and promptly took a 4 hour nap. Not to mention I could go back to sleep right this second and be perfectly happy about it.

Yeah, sleeping that much is not a sign of a happy body. ::sigh::

Then I got up and was hungry so I made breakfast for dinner which was fine…. Until I ended up with a piece of toast covered in red plum jam. It’s so mindless and aggravating! How did I go from such success and compliance with Whole30 to the complete opposite? It’s shameful!

As a result of all this bad behavior, I’ve decided that I have to go back on Whole30 protocol at least until we go on the trip. And even then I plan to stay 90/10 because it’s just not worth it to be sick all the time. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that I will start feeling better soon because this sinus infection is definitely not helping. Oh to be well again!

That’s all for now… Hopefully my next post will be a bit more upbeat and helpful. Time to get back on track!

Whole30 Day 30

I know my Day 29 post was brief. I didn’t journal that day, just kept track of what I ate and I didn’t even log it in My Fitness Pal. It was a long, tough day and I just wanted to get it over with more than anything. The storm was still going when I went to bed at 1am but fortunately, by the time I got up on the 30th, it was most over.

I hung around and played on my phone for a while, then my husband got the call that he had to go to work. As he was getting ready, I found out that some of the local grocery stores were open so right after he left, I went down to the closest store to pick up a few things. I got eggs, ground beef, and 2 hamburger patties and a few other things as well (coconut milk!!!)

When I got home, our neighbors were outside smoking so I went over to say hi. After some discussion, they decided they wanted to go to the store too but both of their cars were unavailable so I offered to take them. We got some stuff and then went over to the levee to take a peek at what was going on over there. Then we came back home.

I took a shower and called my mom to talk for a while. After that, I went over to my neighbors house for a BBQ which was really nice. They had grilled chicken, fish, steak, etc. Very tasty! I hung out at their house until about 11:30 and then came home because I was tired. I played video games until my husband got home and then went to bed not long after that.

Whole30 Day 28

Oh boy, here we go… I am writing this at 5:38 pm (central) and the storm is currently picking up. We had a little power hiccup about 20 minutes ago but it’s back on and seems to be holding for now. We’ve been told that we should expect the storm to make landfall around 1 am. Other than that, it’s mostly been “sit around and wait.”

I woke up around 10:30 this morning and it was drizzling a little. I checked my E-mail, posted an update on facebook, and then started reading my book. I had the carrot cake Larabar for breakfast this morning and it was pretty good. I also had my usual coffee with coconut milk. Then I just hung around waiting…

At about 12:30, I checked facebook again and responded to some comments. In the process, I noticed that Reginelli’s, a local pizzeria, was open for lunch. This was good because I was very hungry and not for anything we have laying around the house. I called in a to-go order and then headed out. It took a long time to get our food but that was only because they were the only place open and were PACKED. I got a pepperoni pizza for my husband and a green salad with tomatoes and grilled chicken for myself. I was pretty excited – I love their salad. They have an awesome balsamic dressing that is to DIE for!

We ate, then my husband started playing video games (got to get it in before the power goes out!), and I started messing around on facebook, mostly playing with timeline and uploading pictures. Then I started reading which is pretty much what I’ve been doing the rest of the day. I had some salad for leftovers and that’s about it…

Now we are waiting to see what is going to happen with the storm. For right now we still have power and things are alright but we expect conditions to get worse overnight. I’ll post again when I can.
