Day...

Update on the retox:  yesterday I tried to drink a margarita... I ended up giving it to Scott. It tasted great, but felt like poison. I also put some pasture raised butter in my mashed cauliflower (which is superior to mashed fennel/celery AAG recipe any day).

Today I felt all the bloat from the ice cream. Seriously. Though I forgot to take my magnesium last night so maybe... And today I forgot my enzymes for lunch and dinner... Let's hope I can maintain some sense of regular...

Definitely more mucous from the dairy. 

I maintained until after work this afternoon when we all met for a beer for joe's birthday. I had maybe eight sips of Max's beer. It didn't feel as bad, but even eight sips hit me hard for two hours. Then we (me, max, em) went to dinner and I had coconut lettuce wraps (rice noodles and peanuts were the non plan ingredients, though I suspect a little soy too), a steak with steamed spinach and mashed potatoes (my cauliflower was better).  I think the potatoes were dairy free, and the spinach and steak were ok too. I had a glass of white wine... It was yummy and didn't feel like poison!  Though it did hit me harder than past normal and now I have a slight headache. 

SO!!  Today was a little too off road (rice, peanuts, maybe soy, probably not dairy, alcohol) to gauge from, but I'm planning on staying pretty tight for the weekend. :) let's see how my body reacts...

eff.

Since you guys aren't still posting...

I'm going to start using this as my experiental updates.
So...

I ate a pint of ice cream last night (sorry twin.  I tried to not.  Emotional eating, but also just a sort of, hey fuck you to limitations).  And one hard apple cider.

That's all I've gone off the rails, and so far...

The cider (less than 5% alc content) did not hit me for two hours.  Two hours.  Then I felt it in my limbs and I did not like it.  Two hours.  That was weird.  I had it with dinner, but usually alcohol hits more quickly.  Interesting.

The ice cream (and I was full after half, but whatev.) made my mucous thicker, though doesn't seem to have increased my stuffiness or anything.  It also has not yet had a digestive impact of any kind.  I had to start taking my digestive enzymes full on again as of Sunday, so I do have that on board helping out.  Maybe that's why the ice cream isn't bothering me.  I'm not bloated from it.  Interesting.

Oh, and I started feeling really run down on Monday afternoon, so I got some Quick Defense herbs on Tuesday and started taking them... so no idea how that might impact digestion and mucous, but I'd guess not really?

Anyway.  A little off road journey.  Woo!  But one thing at a time to see how it affects me...  I know dairy increases the mucous, so I'm going to kick it out for pretty much good....

UPDATE 2:15PM

okay, the bloat has started.  Stupid ice cream.

Forgetting

I didn't eat or drink anything non whole30 yesterday.  Oops.  Or today so far.  Sigh. 
I will, though.  Just you wait...
