I’m going to keep this post very short today since it is 8:30 pm and I want to go snuggle with my hubbie! I slept much better last night and woke up with no stomach pain today!! I didn’t even need to take any medication before breakfast. Yippee!
I ate my breakfast special while catching up on Grey’s Anatomy from Thursday night. I was still hungry after eating breakfast, so I made some Paleo ‘oatmeal’ to fill in the holes.
After my son’s basketball game, I was extremely tired and irritable. While I baked a pizza for the family’s lunch, I sauteed a sweet potato and grilled some hamburger patties for myself. I added a few slices of avocado and threw it on top of some fresh spinach. (Sorry for the blurry picture. I must have moved the camera in my haste to begin shoveling this in my mouth!)
I felt less irritable after I ate but I was still tired, so my sweet hubbie sent me to bed for a couple hours while he watched the kids. I slept for an hour or so and then got up to begin dinner while Leo went to watch the NC State basketball game with my dad. Dinner was a roasted chicken with carrots, onions and mushrooms and a side dish of cauliflower faux potatoes. It was delicious! The chicken was very tender and everything had the best flavor. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare a whole chicken and it’s fairly fast and easy to do. The recipe is from Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. I HIGHLY recommend this cookbook!
This marks Day 2 without nuts and raisins! I can’t say I didn’t have bloating today but I didn’t have any stomach pains or need any medicine, so that is a huge step forward! I’ll be interested to see what the next 7 days bring by way of healing my gut.
23 days done…7 days to go!!
