Elimination Day 12: 02/07/14

Today was grocery shopping day and I bought ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies! I had ordered almond flour from Amazon and I just needed the chocolate chips and grape seed oil. I used Elana's recipe and they came out so good! I baked just six and I put the rest into the freezer on a cookie sheet overnight and then put them into an air-tight container. I always do this when I make cookies because then I won't be seduced by the cookies into eating more than I want to and every time I want cookies they are freshly baked!

I have been wondering about my sleep habits. It has been taking me a lot longer to fall asleep this week than it did last week. I have been trying to think of the things that I am doing differently. At first I thought it was drinking lady grey tea in the morning, but even when I switched to decaf I still had trouble sleeping. Maybe the Emergen-C I drink after I run? But that hasn't been every day this week. Maybe it's just that I have been getting in bed too late and so I have my second wind? I did buy a dark chocolate bar this week and I have been eating a little bit after dinner every night but it is about 1/4 of what the label says is a serving. What could it be? When I track my sugar it seems about right, I am not going over 30g per day and most of that is from the smoothie I drink for breakfast. Hmm its a mystery!
