Ah, the headaches finally subsided. I dealt with some fatigue during the middle of the week and indulged in a fabulous nap. By the end of the week, the lovely mental focus had returned.
I commented to my husband Saturday night, that I really just need to stick with Whole 30 forever, because my mental clarity is apparent. I feel the change as such an obvious difference that I can't believe how often I operate in a fog. It's crazy. I can organize my thoughts. I can set goals and achieve them. Only two weeks in and I already feel so much better.
We moved into our new house back in May. I have been promising myself since mid-June that I would square everything away and get it all unpacked before the end of the summer, when I go back to work. Well I go back on Monday. Right. Here is my living room today.
I have attempted over and over again to tackle this disaster. I would dig into a box and get distracted or discouraged. Never mind, I'll read instead. Or play on my tablet. Or check Facebook. BAH.
Last week I finally dug out our office, forced my husband to make some decisions, sorted through every box in that room and made decisions about where things should go, finally made a million doctors and dentist appointments I've been putting off, and posted a ton of stuff for sale on Facebook. Oh, and plowed through about 500 pages of the 5th Outlander book. BOOM.
I'm only sorry I waited all summer to start the healing. Maybe this little record will help me in the future.
One other side note, I am realizing that many of my other symptoms are fading - the itchy arm, the achy toe. I did tweak my back, though, so joint pain is still hanging in there. Looking forward to more improvements, maybe a little weight loss, and more improvement to my mental state.
