I didn't get to bed until 1am this morning. Carlos wanted to talk so I waited up for him. He got home at 11pm and we lost track of time. Didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I finally rolled out of bed at 6:30am. My eyes were burning because I didn't get enough sleep. I had a migraine by 10am. At 1pm I couldn't stand it anymore so I took 2 Advil (I don't like taking medicine). A few minutes later I felt nauseous and I had to go pick up my son from school. It's a good thing I have an assistant because she watched the kids while they were napping while I laid down for about 45 minutes. I think I fell asleep for about 10 minutes. After I got up I felt better, just a little tired. I plan to get to sleep as early as possible, but one of my daycare kids' mom doesn't get off work until 10pm tonight... Ugh.
Good news is I lost another pound :-)

Going Well This Week
I ran 5 miles yesterday morning, but took this morning off. I was pleased to step on the scale and discover that I've lost 3 pounds in 6 days :-). Of course some of that weight I just gained during Valentine's day. I guess I ate too much milk chocolate, candy hearts, and cookies.
My meals now consist of Eggs sprinkled w/manchego cheese and cooked in extra virgin coconut oil for breakfast, homemade Lentil chicken vegetable soup for lunch (I'll post my recipe later), and Salad with steak, chicken or fish for dinner. I snack mostly on berries with goat cheese or goat yogurt, celery with almond butter, picante inka corn, sunflower seeds, raw almonds, turkey bacon, kale chips, seaweed snacks, etc.
I avoid the following like the plague: white flour (bread, cookies, crackers, cake, etc.), white sugar (candy, sweets, etc), white rice, dairy from cow milk, and pork. If I crave a sandwich, I make it with my favorite sprouted grain bread which is called Ezekiel 4:9 bread.
If I want something sweet, I eat a few squares of extra dark chocolate or berries with honey or agave. If I want something crunchy and salty, I make kale chips, or eat sunflower seeds or picante inka corn.
I drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. I sometimes have a cup of coffee in the morning with raw honey and organic half and half. I also make my own Kombucha which I love, but it takes a while to get used to it. I also make homemade Goat Milk Kefir (which I make into a smoothie with berries, flax seeds, chia seeds, avocado, agave, protein powder, spinach carrot juice, almond butter, and ice for my morning snack).
This plan is mostly from "The Maker's Diet" by Jordan Rubin. I'm doing this diet mostly because I stuck with it over a year ago and lost 15 pounds in 2 months. My goal is to stay on the plan as long as possible to see how much weight I can lose. I plan to add weight training next to get some tone and strength back.

Starting To Run Again
So, I woke up at 5:30 this morning and ran 3 miles... man I'm out of shape. I ran it in about 33 minutes and it was 31 degrees outside. My ideal running temperature is about 60 degrees.

Back On Track
The day after my last post I was doing one of my P90X workouts and my 6 year old son got in my way... I sprained my ankle VERY BAD. It hurt so bad I fell on the ground screaming. My ankle swelled up like a golf ball. I was on crutches for a while and it took a few months to completely heal. Now that the holidays are over and my ankle is 100% I plan to get back on some type of workout/nutrition schedule. I've gained about 5 lbs since I last blogged so I'm pretty bummed about that :-(. Oh... but it will come off, trust me. I want to take a before picture this week and then take another in a few months and see if there's any difference.
