August Recap

I started August by trying to do a Whole30 and the structure reignited all my old crazy food issues.  I don't understand how I can eat Whole30 compliant most of the time without triggering the crazy, but put a timeline on it and I go nuts.  I guess this is fine, though, considering I would be happy eating this way the rest of my life.  Except for when I'm not.

I also passed my one year anniversary at CSC this month.  I celebrated by buying Oly shoes and moving up to OPT's SHE programming.  I can already tell after 3 days of training that I'm working harder than I have in months.  Can't wait to see what the next year brings!

days with:
wine: 11
alcohol: 2
treats: 2
cheats: 6
gluten: 1

grocery budget: $317.03 (would have been a lot less without all the wine!)

July Recap

Oh, vacation.  Look what you've done:

days with:
wine/alcohol: 17
cheats: 17
gluten: 1 :(
no exercise: 11

But only $188.16 spent on groceries!  Small victories.

With about a week left on my vacation, I couldn't wait to get back to regular exercise and clean eating.  I really felt like crap, which was a direct result of the crap I was eating and drinking.  Hence, the Whole30.  It would be nice if I remembered how good I feel when I eat clean.
