Whole30 Day 6: Feeling Great

I woke up this morning to see Jared off to work, like usual. My stomach was still feeling a little sus.  I did go back to bed but I didn’t fall asleep. I got back out of bed around 7:30 and put on some leggings and a sports bra. I made my way into the spare bedroom and did a little at home workout. After finishing that I immediately took the world’s goodest boi for a walk.

The cooler weather makes walking so enjoyable. We just stroll along until Buddy starts to roll too much. Continuous rolling means he is getting tired…or he needs to poop but he is having performance anxiety. Either way, we head for home when the rolling gets too frequent.

I have no idea how it started….one minute I was sitting down enjoying breakfast, the next I was off and cleaning the house. The house smelled like dog (can’t imagine why) and I just hate it when the scent is stifling. So I stripped the couch and threw the couch cover and dog blankets into the wash. Next I did 2 loads of work laundry. Then I stripped the dog beds and washed those sheets. I realized that I had washed the top sheet that protects my comforter from all the oil from the dog (My bed set up is flat sheet, fitted sheet, comforter, flat sheet to keep dog hair and oils off my sheets). Now that I had washed the top sheet, I figure might as well wash the bedding. I organized under the kitchen sink. I swept and mopped the whole downstairs. Bathroom cleaned top to bottom. Kitchen was cleaner than I’ve seen it in a long time. Nothing on the counters. Shelves straightened. Dog bowl area scrubbed.

If I didn’t know any better, I would swear this is the tigers blood people talk about.

I continued on getting vegetables chopped for dinner. I already had a roast in the slow cooker and it was smelling delicious. In true housewife fashion (which I’m definitely not) I managed to get myself into the shower and make myself look presentable. I’m kidding. I threw on sweat pants and a t-shirt, but at least I didn’t smell.

Dinner was ready when Jared got home. We sat and ate, and I definitely felt like I had put my body through its paces. Six days in and I feel slightly better, healthier I guess. I’m not quite sure how to explain it. Maybe clearer is a better word.

My bed is calling me. I think I will sleep so nice.
