Sofia's Healthy Adventure - Part III

I was forced to stay late at work (not volunteer, not payed, not noticed before I was there and couldn’t leave), which seriously pisses me off. It made me so angry I was starting to have to fight back tears.

But then Ruca:

- Got out of the house at 10h30 pm to go get me from the car pooling meeting place so that I wouldn’t have to spend another second with my boss;
- Had prepared my a bubble bath, candles included;

- Didn’t get in, just nailed by the tub and spoiled me with words and cuddles;
- Got me dressed in comfy pjs and put me in bed;

-Lit some other candles in te room;

- And then brought me warm chocolate milk and scones to bed.

It was such a happy ending to a horrible day. Thank you.

I completly forgot about it, so here it is:
- I lost 2 kg in 30 days;
- 3 cm on the waist;
- 3 cm on the chest;
- 0,5 cm on each legg
- 2 cm on the butt area;

Adding lactose to my diet was inconclusive, so, although I’ll avoid regular milk for now on, I’ll have to go to the doctor’s to confirm if I have a problem with lactose or not.

We added gluten products yesterday, still no effect, but I’ll give it a couple of days and then do a report on it.

So whole30 was okay, it changed a bit how I see food and homemaking it. I just hope I can keep up with the good eating habbits.

I used to have horrible heart burn daily. But then it was gone once I started whole30.

We’re introducing food groups one at a time and trying to really eat those foods with every meal to see their effect on our boddies.

First we added dairy.
First day was great (yogurt+icecream+froyo), but today for lunch I had stroggonof chicken (I’m not sure how known that dish is, so lets just say it’s chicken with a cream/milk mixture and mushrooms).
And, not two hours later, horrible heart burn.

Damn.

I’ll try to drink just one glass of milk tomorrow to see how that goes. And I’ll up it to two glasses on saturday.
If the heartburn keeps happening, then I’n saying byebye to milk, cream, probably most yogurts and soft cheeses.

• It didn’t last as long as I though. Well, no, it did last exactly 30 days, it just doesn’t seem as long. It feels like just yesterday I was talking Ruca into doing this with me, and now it’s almost over.
• I still don’t like eggs for breakfast every day. And I can’t even consider eating lunch for breakfast at 6h30 am.
• I don’t think lactose is what’s causing my skin problem, as I’ve been having them for the last two weeks and I only had two very small pills that had lactose in them and that was two weeks ago. If it was due to the milk, then it would have gotten better two weeks later.
• I might stop drinking cow milk, but I’m not giving cheese and yogurts up.
• I LOVE baking and I can’t live without it. Well, I can, but I still go and look through delicious recipes every day and daydream about baking.
• Mashed cauliflower might be here to stay, as that’s the only way I eat cauliflower.
• Roasted broccoli are still the best.
• It killed me not to be able to have chocolate. Two and a half weeks later I finally found 100% cocoa powder. And used it two times only.
• It didn’t get any easier to wake up and post-lunch tiredness only got better, didn’t really disappear.
• I can bake, cook and prepare almost all the foods we buy with less calories, sugar, fat and preservatives. I might start doing that.
• I don’t feel like I’ve lost any weight or volume. But I’ll confirm in the morning.
