Elimination Diet Day 6 and Running--Constipated and Cold

The Last night, I got up around midnight and ate the rest of the roasted turkey (another 8 oz or so). It wasn't my finest hour. I really just wanted something sweet. I had more unsweetened coconut too. So, if calories mattered, I would have been off the deep end in a big way. However, I am just trying to stay compliant. This morning, while I didn't have a reaction I was constipated. I think it is from the excessive coconut, with all that fiber. My arms and upper back were also really sore; it got better as the day went on--normal detox symptoms.

Since it was in the 30s this morning, I opted for a half-dreadmill, half-outside run. Who is that guy on the ice?

For dinner, I had shrimp, celery, lettuce, avocado. Then I cracked open the fresh coconut and roasted it with coconut oil and cinnamon. It was so good; hopefully, I didn't over do it.

Not Fun Running Weather

Georgetown Harbor Ice Rink

The weather has not been kind to the runner. Between the snow, rain, and extreme cold temperatures… it has been easy to just use RunKeeper to walk and get coffee and then workout indoors. Tomorrow, however, it will be back to work and back to the reality of commuting in via my own two feet. It is supposed to rain in the morning and then get progressively colder with a low of 16 degrees on Tuesday. These will be point A to point B runs--the shortest distance possible.
