Now what?

 Apparently I set my alarm for doing a home cardio workout this morning.  I still woke up at my "usual" time and just got up and headed for the gym.  Today is cardio only according to my plan.

Workout of the Day:  20 minutes elliptical - always variety in intensity.  That was followed by 30 minutes of treadmill jogging.  Nice and steady at 5.6.  Felt really great

I got home and took care of a few things, showered and ate some coconut butter.  I somehow forgot about this in my cupboard that I open daily.

I again as every morning battling for my breakfast with Kaat!  

She is just so cute.  

She lays on the table and annoyingly reaches her leg across the table and tries to put her paw in the bowl.  Who can blame her?!  All the bacon and pork!  YUM is all I have to say.  An herbal tea latte was on the side.  She has no problem steering clear of that.

I got the dishes cleaned up and got ready for work.  I even had time to vacuum the floors before I left.  They needed it.  Work wasn't bad today, I kept busy with all the calls I made but around noon my stomach began to grumble and I wanted to head home for a few reasons:  We had horrible wind gusts all day so I wanted to make sure the Big Dawg was ok.  He HATES noise.  I had to put him on his leash to get him out the door.  Wanted to make sure we had power.  Yes we do.  Then I wanted lunch!  As I prepared it I tried some jicama sticks I got at Trader Joe's.  I forgot how much I liked these.  Kind of sweet and crunchy.  I've been missing crunchy!  

Todays bowl was avocado, ground turkey, swiss chard, cauliflower and shredded brussel sprouts cooked in avocado oil.  I haven't had swiss chard in a long time and it wasn't too bad.

I got back to work and emailed my doctor to clarify that during this elimination phase I could have herbal teas, which happily I can and I have a few favorites.  I also wanted to see if I could eat Legit bread, it is seriously the best bread out there.  I sent him the link and even though it's paleo and clean it's still considered a "cheat".  So no go as a replacement for Thursday night pancake night.  I don't get any of it, no pancakes, no bread like product.  I considered eating eggs bacon, and maybe some parsnip fries, but since I had eggs yesterday I noticed today I have a couple breakouts! 

Could it be the eggs are offensive?!  I had broccoli too yesterday?  Is that possible?  A combination of two foods that are offensive?  I scored a 1 for both of these, so no more than 3 times per week.  It's questionable.  Another word on questionable I had the shake again, 4 scoops and by the end it just sit right.  I know I will get use to it, just like carob.  Once you are use to the odd taste you love it.

I did't eat a typical dinner since I wasn't really hungry when I got home.  I made D's dinner which was a quick orange chicken, sweet potato with peas and carrots.  I made a plain chicken breast cooked in some avocado oil for me and ate 3 small pieces, a few bites of roasted sweet potato.  Later I went back for the remainder of my roasted cauliflower and cabbage.  I topped it off with a few bites of coconut butter.

I'm not sure I'm getting at least 6 cups of vegetables?  Do you think it looks that way?

Thoughts on eggs - since I have a tendency for them to be offensive - acne causing?

What should I talk about in the upcoming days?

Meditation practice?  Workouts?  Meals on a protocol?  Something else?
