One glass of white wine I didn't even finish.<br />Pumpkin pie- with pecan meal crust (thanks for the recipe jamie) and modified pie filling. tried to make coconut whipped cream, it was ok.<br /><br />Brad's family tried the pie and said they missed the sugar for the most part, some of them said they would eat it again.<br /><br />I've been getting these weird pains under my right ribs the last 2 days. They come and go. Does anyone have any idea what my liver is doing?<br />Pretty sure everyone thinks my dietary restrictions are a nuisance. I'm finding that people are responding differently to me.<br />Being in Espanola is really challenging and I'm starting to hate food!! It feels like such an ordeal to make meals here.<br />I'd like to thank everyone for their posts, they really are helpful and encouraging.Amy Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558787869507424077.post-49456526784779762982010-10-11T09:40:42.934-04:002010-10-11T09:40:42.934-04:00Meal 1: spaghetti squash, ground beef with mushroo...Meal 1: spaghetti squash, ground beef with mushrooms, onions & tomato sauce.<br />Meal 2: 2 poached eggs, turkey bacon, mixed fruit, small espresso.<br />Meal 3: pecan chicken, red & green pepper, apple butter.<br />Meal 4: turkey, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cashews; 1 glass red wine.<br /><br />No really cravings at all except for alcohol (the 1 glass of wine thing is such a teaser!) & my caramel latte from starbucks. <br />I've been eating pretty close to paleo since the first challenge back in january (with cheats of course in moderation) so for me it hasn't been bad.

I am in the gradual option and every week feels like a huge change. I don't know what I am going to do when I have to cut out dairy next Friday.<br /><br />After cutting out sugar I found my energy level was more level. I cannot think of a better way to describe it. My energy does not go high and low like it used it.<br /><br />I found I go through a lot of water in a day. I couldn't get enough water for the rest of the day Saturday after the WOD.<br /><br />When I decided to try this, I did not expect to get so much flack from people. It is one of the biggest annoyances with the challenge.Dan McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744640422096169917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558787869507424077.post-20719930076806879272010-10-10T22:07:01.761-04:002010-10-10T22:07:01.761-04:00Hahaha, I did the same as you Jen, some desserts a...Hahaha, I did the same as you Jen, some desserts are in the freezer.<br />I'm also peeing all the time, crash hard and I'm finding I'm way more irritable than before - maybe jeffs right, my detox is starting later.<br />people look at you like you're strange & yes, peeps (my dad- hahaha) were trying to get me to eat the forbidden foods.<br /><br />I feel like my stomach is getting messed up again.

Especially at the end of the day, which now means 9.00. Napped today from noon till 1.<br /><br />I have leveled out a little in weight but it still seems a little low and I am working hard to keep it up. I've also lost at least 1/2 inch from waist and almost 1 inch from hips. Pants I got 2 weeks ago no longer fit...DAWSON!!!! <br /><br />Not so hungry either, but no workouts since Friday so we will see next week. Tues is WOD/hot power yoga double whammy so I expect changes in this area.<br /><br />Not sure if anyone is interested in discussing more details about how they are 10 days in but my mood is different, I smell different, and I am peeing all the time--even numerous times thru the nite--which is unusual. Wondering about this last one...not a good sign from a Chinese medicine point of view but hopefully it's a transient detox sign that will pass and not an impending Kidney disaster.<br /><br />Cravings are pretty much gone...didn't even mind not eating certain dinner items with everyone else tonite--funny how peeps will try to force you to eat with them...either overtly or passive aggressively...they can't stand it. I'm finding this even worse than back in my vegetarian days.Jen F.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558787869507424077.post-16688575706854562322010-10-10T21:39:25.734-04:002010-10-10T21:39:25.734-04:00I hear ya Mike!
