I hope the holiday season has treated you all well. Santa was very good to me. After all, I was an angel this year. Stop laughing. No really! The horns may hold up the halo but it is still there!
I made it through Christmas with a loss. So that is still a check mark in the win column. However, I made cookies and ate some of these cookies. I had my first migraine in months thanks to the sugar. I have felt awful all week and realized while I stood in my kitchen eating said delicious cookie that it was my cause. I don't regret eating them but I will be glad when the holidays are over and back to my strict diet!
It is amazing that when given the proper nutrition our bodies are magnificent machines. I didn't realize how much foods like sugar and bread where bothering my system until I kicked them to the curb. I was listening to a podcast about the keto diet and the effect it has on hormone balance. It made me really think that what I was eating caused me to feel awful. I just assumed my headaches were always stress related but now having gone 11 weeks without one it seems pretty clear they were an intolerance to food. I am trying to be more attune to my body and what it needs to thrive.
I received an Instant Pot for Christmas! I am so excited to use it! I use my crock pot all the time and it is my favorite gadget. I usually put a bunch of chicken in there and use it for recipes all week long. Now I can make recipes without having to wait hours. I made Buffalo Chicken Soup last night and it was delicious. I have a chicken to roast in it tomorrow. I am amazed that in mins I will have a chicken cooked instead of hours in the oven.
Thank you all for reading and cheering me on! I can't wait to see what 2019 brings as I continue on this journey! Wishing you all an incredible New Year!
