Lindsey Stuff

First off-The paleo coconut shrimp recipe from last night was a great success.

Second-Can I say how stinkin proud I am of Amber? She is motivated and asking questions. Keep it up girl! You are going to succeed!!!

Yesterday I cheated, I must say. Alayna's babysitter had bought her a Happy Meal that she ended up not finishing. Don't worry--I finished it for her. I had 2 chicken nuggests and some fries. Consequently, my tummy was a little churney. Oh well, because I am established in the diet, this will not ruin me. Today is a new day.

The last few days (maybe 5?) I have had headaches. Mild, compared to what I used to have, but headaches nonetheless. I have also been unusually tired. I have been eating clean and not getting more or less sleep than usual (for a year now, waking up every 3 to 4 hours with Fart Knocker AJ). I have two theories:


James thinks it is stress. Kids, house, volunteering, school, social engagements, appointments, budget, and less than ideal sleep. I am busier now than I was teaching.

I recently gave up having coffee every single day due to the coffee stains on my teeth that the dentist had to scrap off...so I switched to tea. I have only had 2 coffees in the past week. So, maybe my body is coming off the caffeine?

So those are my health concerns. Since going Paleo I have had lots of energy and no headaches. All of the sudden I am tired and having little headaches. Wondering also if it is something in my diet I am not recognizing? Hmmmm

GOAL FOR TODAY:
1. Work out-5 Deadlifts, 15 push ups, 100x sprints (5 rounds)
2. Intermittent Fast-Lunch
3. Portions, keep an eye on the amount being eaten.
4. Post fat pictures

  1. Hey, it may be coffee withdrawals. Tea has way less caffiene that tea so it may not be getting the job done. Another option is drinking your coffee through a straw. Lots of people do that even with hot coffee. If you are drinking black tea the way you used to drink coffee that can stain too, not quite as bad but still staining. Anyway, I think coffee saves lives so I'm always for keeping people drinking it. Andrew had his iced latte this morning to help with his breathing. Seemed to help! Thank you for getting all these gals so motivated. I love how supportive you are being! You're the coolest.

  2. Hey Annette, so drinking coffee through a straw helps?? If that is the case, I am so freaking on board. Also, I was thinking, if I go to the dentist every 6 months, the every 6 months they can scrape off the stains...lol
