We had a horrible scare yesterday. My mother got stung by a bee, she's highly allergic so her getting stung is a big deal. She is also allergic to benadryl so it was a trip to the hospital for us and I stress ate but I'm not beating myself up over it I just need to not comfort eat as much. I got about nine hours of sleep and about 3L of water total.

My thoughts on Honey and it's Ethical Practices
For years I have suffered from horrible allergies and no allergy medicine helped. I was even taking allergy shots and I would still deal with horrible allergy symptoms. My pediatrician asked me if I ate honey, I told her yeah but only the conventional stuff and she just kinda looked at me dumbfounded. She told me because of my allergies that I should find someone local with bees who was selling honey and use it instead of the conventional honey.
Because I was a curious child I asked her why I should do that and she told me it was because one honey bee will travel about a ten mile radius from it's hive to collect pollen and nectar to make honey thus by eating the honey from these bees I would lessen the severity of my allergies. The next week or so my mom and I spent looking for local beekeepers and we found one. Just by switching my conventional honey for local honey and I didn't have to take my allergy shots about three weeks after making the switch because I built up the antibodies for local flora and my allergy doctor was amazed. He asked how I did it and I told him local honey. He began prescribing local honey to his patients and he saw a decrease in people with severe flora allergies across the board.
Honey works for allergy sufferers but is it ethical?
Most vegans will tell you no matter what no honey is ethical because it is an animal by product but I don't feel the same way about honey because I have seen the process local beekeepers do to extract the honey from the combs.
Local beekeepers and all small bee farms use smoke to calm the bees before removing surplus combs which are stripped and then placed back for the bees to continue to produce honey. Bees by nature will create a surplus of honey as long as they have places to build combs. This is how they live, how their are programmed to function. Clearing the supers to be refilled also keeps the bees healthy because they continue to work.
Now i am not sure how conventional honey is harvested but I figure, just like almost every other conventional animal by-product, is harvested in an unethical fashion. I do not use conventional honey for anything because it has no benefits for my body.
Bee pollen?
Bee pollen is actually very ethical, on the outside of the conventional hives (the wooden boxes not the naturally made hives) are screens and collector bags. The pollen collects on the legs of the bees in little balls of pollen and the screens brush the pollen off kinda like a hair brush and it falls into the collection bags doing no harm to the bees. I don't even think they notice it to be honest.
The bee pollen can also help allergy suffers and is a source of B12 if eaten in it's whole food source.
So as a synopsis I do feel that local honey and bee pollen is very ethical and isn't a problem to eat because it helps allergy suffers and it isn't harming the bees but please make sure it is local if you are going to eat it.
As always thanks for reading and you all are awesome! Have a great day till I talk to you next!

Day 19
So today was actually really good aside from hurting and my crappy breakfast. My nerves were on edge all day but that's because of the rain, the food didn't effect me like I thought it would.
So I got about 10 hours of sleep last night and I drank about 4L of water and tea today.

Total Calories: 1861
Carbs: 304.8 (62% of Total Calories)
Fat: 36 grams (17% of Total Calories)
Protein: 98 grams ( 20% of Total Calories)
Breakfast:
So this was my worst choice for food but I ate two doughnuts and drank two bottles of water.
Lunch:
My mom found Chicken Jerky and I ate about half of the bag, it was good but it wasn't as good as I wanted.
Then I found these Steamfresh Protein Blends and they are steamer bags of frozen veggies and whole grains. I ate the Southwestern Blend which was red pepper, black beans, lentils, corn, couscous, and rice. I ate that with two 8 inch tortillas and lettuce and a little bit of mustard for extra flavor.
Dinner:
I made a smoothie with strawberries, a pulot(which is basically a white plum), two bananas, some local honey(because my doctor says to eat it due to the anti-microbial properties it has) and apple juice. It was so good. I will do a post on honey and bee pollen and the ethical ways it is collected from local hives.
As always you all are awesome! Have a great night and a great day tomorrow!

Day 18 (a little late)
Well yesterday I got in over 3000 calories burnt just playing around but literally idk how much I ate yesterday because I was eating at family's house but that said I think whatever I ate calorie wise was burnt off through my activities yesterday.
I played volleyball, corn hole, went swimming, running with the dogs and even a scavenger hunt.
I slept well the night before getting about 9 hours of sleep and I drank about 5L of water while doing all of the activities.
I hope your 4th of July was amazing if you celebrated. As always you all are awesome. Look for another blog post from me very shortly tonight.
