Fitness

I’ve had up and downs this week with fitness as usual.  I just keep going, keep doing what I can do, keep slowly trying things.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but as long as I can run I’m mostly happy.

Many of you are asking what exercises I’m doing for my SI joint.  First, keep in mind there are a million reasons why your SI joint could hurt and that my issue is related to tailbone/pelvic floor (so awesome, NOT) so it’s the bottom of my SI joint, SUPER LOW.  Second, my exercises are really unique because I see a DNS provider, I could not explain them well if I tried.  If you have unresolved chronic pain, I highly recommend finding a DNS provider.

Food

Still working on bringing down my caffeine consumption, I’m down to 2 ounces of caffeinated coffee and 8 ounces decaf in the morning.  Yes, I’m hanging onto that 2 ounces like my life depended on it ha ha

Caffeine detox = not for the faint of heart.  It’s been BAD, I fall asleep typing at my computer.  Checked my iron levels last week, they are fine, it’s straight up the caffeine detox kicking my ass every day.  It makes me never want to drink coffee again.  But then I get the evil voice in the back of my head that says “oh but you will my precious, you will.” 

In the afternoon I’ve been drinking a cup of green tea, it helps a little.

I recorded on Monday – kind of  ha ha

for breakfast I had 2 eggs and a brown rice tortilla for like three days this week before deciding I hate this messy breakfast.  breakfast FAIL

After my workout I Nala and I went on a long walk with a friend and her 3 month old baby!

For lunch, I had a taco salad – recipe coming soon!

Afternoon snacks included the last of my batch of morning glory muffins  for seed cycling  

I also had a yogurt and granola

For dinner, I made my sheet pan brats recipe and snapped a few photos to share on FB and with the WTE? Meal Plan subscribers FB group!
