It's been freezing cold in my house and I've been trapped in my room with my tiny space heater and my electric blanket, just trying to stay warm. For some crazy reason, my roommates seem to think that 62 degrees is an adequate temperature for the house during the winter.
Instead of sipping teas or hot cocoa, I've been enjoying hot apple cider for the last day. It's working well; I need some hot liquid to keep me warm, and apple cider is working well. I suppose those that like the calorie free options of coffee or tea would cringe at the calories I'm taking in from 3-4 cups of apple cider a day, but frankly, I don't care. Bring it on!
Side note: I am still drinking plenty of water.
I'm tired. And yes, I know that it is partly from the completion of a long, drawn out, exhausting semester of school. I spent way too much time in the hospital and at doctor's offices, and in return, spent way too much time at the close of the semester beating my head against the library desks at school. But I also know that this exhaustion is coming from a change in my nutrition - lack of carbs, lower glycemic intake, etc.
So the normal response would be to grab a cup of coffee. Not an option for me - so I am pushing through it as well as I can.
For breakfast this morning, I ate another small bowl of my complex carb oatmeal, and an entire bowl of canned peaches. For a quick lunch, I finished a bit of my Kashi fiber cereal and ate a hard boiled egg. I'm planning on a glass of my funky all-natural pomegranate acai berry fiber something or rather juice before I take off for work, and then whatever the chefs serve for staff meal, I'll have to make do with it. Usually they give us a salad and some sort of meat option, so I should be able to have a decently paleo-friendly dinner at work tonight.
Unfortunately, this is all dependent on me having enough energy to make it to work in an hour!
