Day 5 of 30

Well - I got a fever that popped up out of nowhere. I've been bouncing around between 100.8 and 102. I feel perfectly fine with the exception of being exhausted. I forced myself to go on a 3 and a half mile walk (to and from the market) to get some fresh air, vitamin D, a tin of tomatoes, and a bottle of coconut water. I can't help but wonder if I'm experiencing Candida die-off (if it is..this would make for the third time in my life I get to experience that joy..).

Back to that tin of tomatoes. Whilst at the market (mind you this is a tiny "Natural Foods Market") I couldn't find a single jar of tomato sauce that fit into my guidelines. If it didn't contain dairy, sugar (or in rare occurrence wine) it wasn't gluten free and vice versa. I was perfectly happy making my own sauce - but I couldn't help but feel somewhat taken aback. This is a health food store for crying out loud! I was also shocked to find that 365 Organic Tomato sauce contains not olive oil but SOYBEAN OIL! That's not very Italian of them. However, Trader Joes does have a basic tomato sauce that is completely Whole30 compliant.

That's all for now.
