Donna’s Fatloss blog Day 15

The first day of week 3 turned out to be pretty interesting as I learned that I apparently have an intolerance for eggs. I've noticed some congestion after eating them in the past, but today's reaction to them was very uncomfortable (not to mention potentially embarrassing since it happened while at work). Two hours after eating my omelette breakfast and while still enjoying my PB smoothie, my stomach felt like it was turning itself inside out sending me running back and forth to the ladies’ bathroom (thank goodness I sit a close distance to it!).

Coach Rylan was very helpful in explaining to me what most likely happened. Having spent the past two weeks purging my body of toxic foods and chemicals, seems my body will now strongly reject certain foods that it doesn't need or are bad for it. I guess our bodies are a lot smarter than we are—my upset stomach was nature’s way of ridding my body of something it didn’t need.

Anyway, drank lots of water and took some Immodium AD to settle my stomach. Then ate pretty light the rest of the day to give my stomach a break.

On another note, enjoyed today’s workout, except the Get Ups. I miss the squats and bench dips though. I need to figure out how to create more resistance using the resistance bands; I was able to do a quite a few more than the required reps before reaching failure (I probably could have pushed out two more each on the band rotations and pull-downs).
