I noted in the last post that I have been experiencing some significant drops in energy in the afternoons this week. I attributed this to my minimal carb intake however, there may be another explanation. I've been so busy/overwhelmed this month that I completely lost track of time and didn't even realize I was due for my period. Sorry if you think that's TMI but hey, you're the one reading this, so get over it. This is a pretty significant development, because hormonal fluctuations that go along with a woman's menstrual cycle have a notable influence on energy levels. Since I've got this going, I'm super curious to continue BP into next week, and see if my energy level improves.
Not that this was really the goal, but this week I'm down just under 2 lbs, which is highly unusual considering I'm on my period (I'm usually a good 2-3lbs heavier). I would say this has to be the results of how I've been eating. I will say, I am really missing carbs. I finally broke down today and had some strawberries with breakfast.
Here's what all I ate:
breakfast: protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds, coconut milk, shredded coconut, strawberries. BPC
snack: almond butter
Lunch: bison patty, lettuce, spinach, jalepeno, fried egg, tomato, asapargus
Dinner: chicken, bell peppers, zucchini, onion stir fry
snack: protein powder, cashew butter
Not gonna lie.... I miss bananas big time!
