I've made it through 2 more days successfully. Yesterday I struggled with my stomach really aching after every meal, Kombucha settled it down, so I'm thinking it was gut bacteria's die-off (common when people get away from the standard American diet). Stomach's feeling better today, but sticking with Kombucha and some plain yogurt with a dash of cinnamon, all things to help heal a leaky gut. On top of the stomach pain, I was pretty dang tired all day and went to bed early, but slept great. And I've been freezing cold….
Today all of that is getting better. No stomach pain today, still really tired, but my brain feels more clear. And I managed to stay warm with a little effort. Although today I was craving some junk food bad! It hit me hard about 1:00, I was dragging ass and just kept thinking about how peppy a candy bar or soda would make me feel…. I had some black tea and yogurt instead. Oh, and a fabulous trip to the chiropractor made me feel so fresh and new. Also I even got a workout tonight (workouts having been suffering the last few weeks). PJ and I got a bike trainer for Christmas, so I finally got around to my first ride on the trainer, just a short 35 minutes, but it's a start. Feeling good now and looking forward to curling up in bed soon.
So in case you're still wondering what the heck this Kombucha is that I keep talking about.. It's fermented tea. Fermented foods of all types have lots of great bacteria in it. Kombucha has a bit of a rough smell to it, but is actually really yummy and comes in a wide variety of flavors. Fermented foods help heal our guts, which is good for our energy, our immune system, and our overall wellbeing, (Here's a list of good things it can do) so I can have my tea and feel good too. So the next time you can't shake that icky tummy feeling I would highly recommend you grab a bottle to sip.
17 Days to Go! Bring it on!
