Days 11, 12 and 13

Well, I haven't yet had the renewed energy I had last time I did this. Maybe it was a little further in. I don't have a yeast infection yet, but I feel like one might be coming on. Me joints are sore, maybe I'm a little dehydrated.
I did my workout Thursday night and Friday night. It went really well, both times it took me a little under 30 minutes, the second time was faster. Friday it was harder, I didn't have as much energy. I've been pretty much on my own this weekend, Manu has been working so I'm a little more tired. I think I'm over the cranky stage though, but that might have just been the time change. Lucas has been a real bear and on Wednesday, he suggested we get up earlier so he could go play in the gym before school. That seemed to put him right back on track, I don't know if it was the extra exercise or going back to our time before we changed the clocks. All I know is I'm less cranky, whether it's because Lucas has calmed down or the time thing, who knows.
I made brownies on Saturday night and I made a special batch for myself. They're sweetened with xylitol and I definitely noticed I was gassy after and felt a tiny bit sick, but it was worth it :). I froze the rest in individual portions for a treat every once in awhile. Manu and Lucas tasted them and said they tasted just like their brownie, I could definitely tell the difference, but it was still pretty awesome.

Brownies
1/4 cup butter, melted
half of 1/3 cup of cocao
1/3 cup xylitol
1 egg
vanilla
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
pinch of baking powder
pinch of salt

Combine butter and cocao, stir in egg, add vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cook in a loaf pan at  350 for 15-20 minutes.
