Craig Day 17
What's up fellas? Got a heinous stomach flu Wednesday evening through Thursday, but the good news was that it went away really fast. Everyone else around here (our hood) that has had this it lasted 3-5 days. My cousin is an integrative medicine doctor and I do recall him saying that if you do a Whole30 and then maintain an 85% compliant lifestyle after, your immune system will be a lot stronger... either you won't get sick at all or you'll get less sick and heal up faster. That certainly seems to be the case. I think that's because the sugar is gone, and sugar messes up everything. I recently got a special edition magazine by Nat Geo called "Science" because of the cover story "Sugar's Powerful Pull" and it chronicles the history of sugar in our food supply and the havoc it causes in our brains and bodies. I'll add some of the key stats to my PPTX I sent out to my team at work.
I wanted to have a drink last night, I guess because it's Friday? Because last Friday was the same... and yesterday I worked like 15 hours between the job and house chores, maybe that's why. The urge wasn't very strong, pretty easy to say no to.
I find that I sleep exactly 7 hours, and I feel well rested. 10-5 pretty much. They say that can be a healthy amount for some people, and I really believe it's all I need... which is surprising a bit because I'm a high energy person, I'd think my mind and body would need to rest a bit more but it doesn't.
Food I was totally compliant last couple of days. For 36 hours or so I didn't hardly eat anything.
I've lost 5 lbs. I weighed 196 this AM... I haven't weighed that much since high school. For my frame and height that's light for me. That's good though, because I signed up for a 7 hour mtn bike ride in June so I'll be training a LOT for that, and the lighter the better.
Last year I lost 20 lbs in Jan/Feb (225 down to 200) and have kept it off, so I didn't expect to lose too much this time around! In fact, I didn't expect to lose any weight at all... I don't really need to. That could be from the stomach thing too and fasting for a day and a half...
