So of course after I watched my sis and her whole family suffer throw a stomach bug. I of course got it on sunday. So all I had to eat that day was 2 small gluten free blueberry pancakes with raspberries and blueberries warmed in a pan with a little bit of raw honey for topping. I also had 3 over easy eggs with turmeric, sea salt, and black pep. Sadly the rest of the day the only thing I could take in was water. In the evening I had a little kombucha.
I must say I really enjoy the races like Ironman and other distance racing events but it is a fact that you will put your body under a significant amount of stress during those competitions. Thus when I do get "sick" its always after one of those longer races. Its very rare but I know it lowers my bodies defenses after a race like that. Endurance sports do increase cortisol release which does suppress the immune system at higher levels.
Oh and to help me recover sunday night I took garlic and Vit. D/probiotics
Day- 20
I had a coconut milk/choc. protein shake in the morning with my omegas.
Water between then. Stomach still not fully recovered.
Then for dinner I sampled to many dishes to try and list. All from the Maximized Living Nutritions plan book. We had a Recipe night at the office where staff and patients all bring a dish they choose to make out of the book and we all enjoy eating healthy/tasty food together. I highly recommend the raw pumpkin pie! I think Nicole's recipe I will be trying myself very soon as well!
At home I ate a little free range chicken and some broccoli and cauliflower salad.
Mid shift I also took my daily detox, vit. C, and Vit. D.
Now off to bed to be up for the WOD tomorrow at 5:30!
