The Return of the Black Coffee

I was really happy after reintroducing dairy, as it seemed my body was quite happy with it. I had no stomachache, no gut issues... But after a while my lower face exploded with zits. Painful ones. :( It could still be it was the chocolate which I also have been eating now after a month of none... but I am afraid it's the dairy. And I like my coffee with cream so much! I haven't even eaten that much dairy - only heavy cream and butter, no cheese whatsoever.

I think I will completely cut on chocolate first (especially that I can't help myself and eat the whole bar at once), and see if anything clears. I really hope I can have dairy, cheese is such an easy snack for work (I can't bring meat to work), and yummy addition to eggs.

me and veggies

I have a very strange relationship with veggies. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I forget they exist. Sometimes I reach for them out of guilt or sudden caprice. Sometimes I buy them and then forget, throwing them away with pinch of remorse. I know they are important, but the same time I know they don't have to be the main part of my diet.

Yesterday I roasted some beets, sweet potato and broccoli (saved before they would completely expire). Yesterday I ate them with some left over beef, today with eggs for breakfast. Some hours later I started to have pinching pain in guts, typical of gas. I am guessing it was the broccoli, but am not sure. I feel totally free to not eat veggies for a while now ;-)

I also caved in and got dark godiva chocolate with my coffee at barnes&nobles. The ingredients weren't that bad, but still - too much sugar. It wasn't even that good... but at least wan't bad. It was around 20g for the whole thing (a small narrow bar). I did a good workout at home later, so I hope no lasting damage was done ;-) I finished with delicious chicken leg.

I tried to find some new workouts on netflix, but they have very limited collection for instant streaming. I like simple, boot camp-style routines, I can't fallow anything too complicated. I found one I liked so I tried and it kicked my butt (or rather abs!), it's called "Trainer's Edge". I can recommend for good mixture of cardio (boxing) and a lot of abs. arms and legs are working as support.
Earlier on I took "Billy's Boot camp" by Billy Blanks from my local library and I really like it. I find workouts based on martial arts perfect for me, my low coordination and difficulties with following movements. They kick butt, are simple and focus on strength and stamina. Just what I need!
