Day 4 - Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow

Not a whole lot of symptoms have been going on, and in a way that is encouraging as I did start to clean up my diet the week prior. I cut back a lot on the processed sugar and had only one hot chocolate the week before I started the ED. But today, I have been back and forth to the toilet constantly. It's on the go now hahaha. Peeing a lot (even though I didn't think I had that much water to drink) and some looser stools as well. I did notice that I seemed more bloated, so hopefully by tomorrow it will go down. Could also be the increase in starchy foods too due to a lack of available green foods in our home at the moment.

Hubby still hasn't read the ED e-book, but has taken to buying a few staples for himself...bananas and melons. He also got plain rice cakes, but I put them down in the food storage. I will mention to him to read the section on allowed and restricted foods, as I think he is just focused on cutting out sugar, dairy, and wheat....and not the processed foods part. I have not been able to keep up with making him freshly prepared meals as I have no idea what his schedule is and have been tired as well. I precooked a turkey, brown basmati rice, quinoa, and deer chili for the week, so I think it's up to him to use the pre chopped veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli)and those things available to put a meal together if we are not available or around. He was asking for canned tuna last night (it''s ALL gone....for now), but he used turkey instead...YAY!

Workout:
My energy has returned, I got the house cleaned and then paced myself towards getting the workout done. I was expecting to get ready to go out and get groceries, but the person I was going with didn't get back to me. But as I waited I got in a good workout.

Full 4x4 Meltdown. Definitely not conditioned, but I was energized and felt good afterward.

I ate more bananas than I needed to. Again, I snacked on turkey and had the deer chili for breakfast. Fell asleep before cooking dinner (salmon) so I will cook it for tonight. Had a long and full sleep and I am SO grateful for being rested.
