Day5

Was up at 12, 2, and 5 to pee. Maisie heard me a five and wouldn't leave me alone until I came down, so I went downstairs and slept on the couch until 6:30 when Mike came down for his walk. Went upstairs and fell asleep right way until 7:30 until the kids came in, fully ready to start the day! Had a splitting headache and was soooo tired...went back to sleep in Collin's bed (best mattress and darkest room in the house) until 9:30. Took my meds with 8oz. water. Needless to say, my morning was a little "off," and I'm just now getting around to eating my first meal of the day at 10:30. Still have a headache. :(

Brunch - sauteed zucchini, squash, onions, and mushrooms in coconut oil with chicken breast. Handful of red grapes on the side. 16 oz. water.

We took Olivia on her first bike ride to Dinosaur Park, which is a good 1.5 mile ride/walk one way. She made it to the park but didn't want to ride home. It was hot, and she was tired. She walked most of the way back while we carried her bike (tried to convince her that riding was faster, but her stubborn almost-3-year-old brain wasn't listening). Got home at 1:30 and made the kids some English muffin pizzas with mushrooms and ham...man, it was hard not to eat those! They are one of my faves. I settled for a couple of small pieces of ham with mustard, and now I need to figure out what to make for me...

Lunch at 2:15 - large bowl of bone broth and a break from eating to take supps with 8oz. water and put Olivia down.

Lunch cont. at 3:00 - can of tuna with dill relish and homemade mayo on a bed of bibb lettuce and sliced vine tomato with sunflower seeds sprinkled on top. Apple for "dessert."

Mint tea with fresh mint from the garden at 5:30.

Dinner at 7:00 - grilled plain salmon, one sliced tomato, and one sliced cucumber with 16oz. water.

9:00 - Pretty boring day as far as food is concerned. Didn't make any recipes...too tired and sick of cooking. Mike tried to make mixed veggies that I could eat for dinner, bless him, but peas and corn are out for the Whole30, and carrots and green beans are out because they're high oxalate. That's how I ended up with the tomato and cucumber. Would love something sweet right now! Will four red grapes satisfy my sweet tooth? We'll see...

10:00 - Ugh, headache before bed. Great. Taking some Tylenol and heading up. Wish I could just sleep, but the peeing is out of control (25-minute bladder, that's what I have right now). And I haven't had anything to drink since 7:00!
