Cookie Effects

C is for afternoon work-related stress and sleepiness cure.

Yesterday I was very tired. Really sleepy. Falling asleep at my desk sleepy.

I'd had my Arbonne shake for breakfast, and then Chipotle for lunch. I was tired, and work was kind of annoying - I'm helping on a project where I'm getting wildly inconsistent information from various groups of people and trying to sort it out - and long story short, I went to the deli in the office and got some oatmeal raisin cookies.

The cookies didn't magically solve my problems, and in fact I noticed pretty soon after eating them that I felt kind of bloated, and my stomach started to hurt a bit. Normally my stomach only hurts when I eat too much. So this was definitely an a-ha for me! I honestly hadn't expected this when I started on the Arbonne 30 Day Fit Kit. I'm now noticing the effect food has on how I feel.

I went home and slept for four hours. I think I very much needed to. Then I got up and did some stuff, and then went back to bed. Ah, sleep.

Today is a teaching yoga at work day, and then teaching at the studio tonight! Between work and studio I'm going to be cooking a Blue Apron meal: lamb sausage with french lentils and sauteed veggies. Should be deleeshuuus....
