Day 10 Log

First of all, I'd like to thank the student who brought 5 dozen cookies to homeroom this morning, then left them in my room so I could share them with my other classes.  For the rest of the day, kids walking into my room asked, "Why does it smell like sugar in here?"  Nice.  Apparently this is a special Day 10 test for me :)

My intestines still aren't happy, even after 9 hours of sleep last night.  The only big change I see is that I've been snacking on macadamia nuts after school, so I'm cutting them out.  During my second W30, I stopped snacking unless I was getting in a second workout.  Seems like I should go back to that and I should have a second hit of pecan butter if I need it.

So, as I've mentioned a few times, I've been on a quest for sugar-free bacon.  I trolled the Portland Farmers Market this fall during my first W30 and found a local farm that had sugar-free bacon.  JOY!  I bought packages from them regularly during both W30s and was bummed out when they weren't at the winter market the morning I went.  After searching high and low for an alternative source, I contacted them today through Facebook and got a message that they would in fact have bacon at the winter market tomorrow.  ELATION!!  Then a few hours later, I got another message from them clarifying that they use sugar in their curing process, but don't add any to the bacon.  NOOOOOO!!!  I'm seriously bummed out 1) that they gave me bad info this fall, 2) that I'm not getting bacon tomorrow morning, and 3) that the only option I have left is to order bacon online.  If anyone else is interested, here's the W30-approved source:

Lunch - Leftover Spinach Meatballs & Pasta Sauce w Zucchini Pasta, Broiled Eggplant
Dinner - Pan-Seared Rib Eye, Mashed Sweet Potato, Sauteed Mushrooms, Wilted Spinach

108 oz of water

Note on dinner:
I don't normally eat a starchy veg like sweet potato at night, but I have a long run tomorrow and could use the extra energy.  Depending on how I feel, this might be a Friday night treat during training for my half marathon.  Unlike my usual Friday night treat, which would involve gin & olives or Ben & Jerry's.  But not both - bad combo.
