- I stopped the Whole 30 diet. My kidneys and liver were literally in pain so instead of ruining some perfectly useful vital organs, I decided to hop off the diet plan (but I am still eating healthier than I was before).
- The SIL will leave late tonight so I need to clean the house from top to bottom tomorrow (it's an odd habit, but as soon as a guest leaves I scrub the house...not sure why).
- I like to do at least one activity with the hubby each day so today it will be a cutting horse show (free) and a trip to the Ethel M candy factory (also free). Tomorrow we will watch the international ten-pin bowling championships (free as well).
- I signed up for tickets to the Ellen Show yesterday. Her new season starts in September and we had tickets to be in the audience last season but I got sick the day we were supposed to go; I'm waiting to hear if we got the tickets.
- In September we start our weekly hiking trips again. I need to go through my daypack and make sure I have everything that I need (flashlight batteries work, sunscreen is there, etc).
- I also need to get hubby signed up for a fall bowling league.
- I haven't done anything at all with my genealogy project since the beginning of summer--I need to get back to it.
- Today is library day. Once a week we hit up the library, return last week's movies and get new movies (about 20-30 of them which hubby watches throughout the week in the evenings). I also pick up a few books at the library, however recently I have been downloading so many free library books to my Kindle app that I don't check out nearly as many books as I used to.
- I need to make money! It was wonderful having a steady income during the summer but most of my earnings went into our emergency fund and the rest is, well, gone. I paid my few monthly bills each month throughout the summer, bought hubby a smartphone, and bought a bunch of books and school supplies to send to a school in the Philippines and that was about as far as my money went. Now I have bills for September that I need to pay (I pay for the grandson's school, our cell phones, webhosting fees, and tithe each month) and no money in sight to pay for them so I need to get busy making some money! I also want to fund trips to San Francisco and the east coast this fall. And if I were to get a windfall we also want to go to the Philippines in the winter. Again, there is zero dollars to pay for any of these things at this time so I need to come up with some ways to earn money ASAP!
- I also need to finish the book I have been working on and get it published (another project that has seen very little activity this summer).
- And I want to submit a manuscript for a RITA contest in December (its a romance novel contest and the winners usually get picked up for book contracts and it's very prestigious and I probably don't have a prayer of winning but...). I have a book nearly completed but not even edited (and re-edited and re-edited as the process goes) so I need to get busy with that project as well.
Overall it should be a very busy, very organizing kind of weekend!
Why was the Whole 30 diet hurting?
ReplyDeleteIt made me really dehydrated even though I was drinking lots more water than usual. I think it has something to do with the amount of water that starchy carbs hold in your body as opposed to the water kept in your body with a low carb/high fat diet which is kind of what the Whole 30 is. My kidneys had never been so unhappy!
