- Noticeable Reduction in rosacea
- Fitting into my previously, "yeah, I can get them on and barely zip them, but man, am I uncomfortable" jeans
- Occasional heartburn is now non-existent
- Cravings have diminished dramatically; grains and sugar especially...wine, still a yearning, but that is more behavioral than physiological
- Increased energy, especially in the evening
- Sleep, while still challenging trying to fall asleep in a timely manner, once I do, is sound and deep
- Consistent improvement in blood sugar readings; 30-40 points below what they were before TW30 (this is HUGE for me!)
BS: 126
Lunch: leftover flank steak over "loaded" green salad with MPV
Dinner: Nom Nom Paleo Pork Stew - This was a new recipe for us and even my loveable however pretty "selective" eater husband liked it! I used Herbs d'Provence and, while I thought I might have been a bit heavy handed with the seasoning, he loved it. So, maybe I won't pull back next time as I thought I might. I omitted the fish sauce; I've looked for it here locally and the only fish sauce I can find at F4L or TJ's has sugar in it. I also threw in some sliced fennel bulb because I had it on hand from a mahi mahi dish I made last week. I've really surprised myself with how much I like fennel; when it is prepared properly, it really adds a nice flavor. However, I don't think I'll ever find myself loving raw fennel in salads. The one addition I will make next time is to add quartered mushrooms. This is definitely a one-dish dinner and super, duper easy; especially when you have some "Mandy's Marinara" on hand in the freezer. It literally took me less than ten minutes to throw this whole dinner in the crock pot. For the pork, I used what I had on hand, which happened to be some really thick pork loin chops. I used two for the two of us and I cubed them. We have enough leftovers for two lunch meals.
