Yesterday, I think I encountered what I have heard referred to as the "carb flu". I started experiencing a queasy, not quite nauseous, feeling that intensified through the evening. I didn't really feel sick, just out of sorts. This feeling continued a little this morning. I did swim for 30 minutes at lunch yesterday and that was out of the ordinary. I felt pretty drained afterward and that has been my experience with swimming over the last several years. I get quite a different cardio workout when I swim. The feeling may have been due to the workout or my body adjusting to the lack of grains and legumes in my diet. I can't know for sure but will see how things go from here. I am feeling great right now.
This morning was the first time that I went to work in the office this year instead of out of my home office. This required me to rise at 5:15 AM and get into the gym for my cardio workout. I managed to pack a paleo lunch and snacks of a 1/2 grilled chicken breast, grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, carrots, and some leftover crockpot chicken. Tonights dinner will be some leftover paleo chili from last night. The paleo chili started out as paleo sloppy joes but I had to substitute for the tomato paste. The result was delicious but was too soupy for sandwiches. That was OK for me since I wouldn't have eaten it over bread anyway. The recipe suggested serving it over baked sweet potato but I just ate it in a bowl. The recipe can be found at Paleo Newbie http://www.paleonewbie.com/paleo-sweet-potato-sloppy-joes-recipe/. Thanks Trina!
