My blogging fell by the wayside, but the Whole30 didn't! Still on track!
Yesterday, I did Crossfit for the first time since starting this diet. I haven't felt any bad effects, so I was surprised when my workout SUCKED!!!!! I got dizzy and light-headed. I couldn't even finish the modified workout. I had to lie down on the floor before I could drive home.
When I told the trainer that I was on Day 3 of the Whole30, he nodded sagely and quit worrying about me. He said after day 10, I'll be totally okay again and feeling great.
The worst thing about this whole plan is the amount of cooking! That should tell you how much we were eating out. So, to solve this problem in a totally rational and calm way, I yelled at Aaron until he agreed to help me more. Never fear, this is not because of the lack of carbs. This is kind of normal. (Poor Aaron). But I apologized afterwards, and good man that he is, he still did the dishes.
Lest you think the man is a saint, I am cooking him 3 meals a day, freezing food for him to take to work, and doing all the grocery shopping.
But anyway, the cooking sucks. But I guess I'll just have to follow my own advice and suck it up.

Okay, good. So when walking for an hour this morning almost killed me, that was why. I may give up a lot of exercising until then. One thing at a time...
Well, good for you, and Aaron. I feel for you with the cooking, and even though I didn't do the bulk of it myself, I do have some cooking advice: do it together, in big batches. It's way more fun even if you want to kill each other for a little bit of the time - you're in it together. I think that you'll realize that you're both just cranky and be able to laugh it off pretty easily.
Does that make any sense to you?
If it makes you feel better, today at CrossFit I plunged into a back squat and got stuck down there. It was the weirdest sensation ever. Spotters are good.
Ansley, I find that thinking about Colin Firth can be too distracting during a walk.
