Day 12 - 1/22/2017

While my meals have been gluten free today, I definitely snacked on non-gluten free things. Seriously, Girl Scout cookies are so yummy.  The serving size is only 2 cookies!  Really?  I had 10 today!  Not a great day for me with that.  Tag-a-longs are my favorite.

I got the produce baskets full again for the week.  

I managed to stab my finger on the spiralizer tonight when I was making zoodles (noodles out of zucchini).  It was quite painful.

Dinner was FANTASTIC!  Chicken Zoodle Soup.  However, like all gluten free meals, I find myself hungry just a couple hours after eating.  

Day 11 - 1/21/2017

Well, today I woke up with my swelling induce trigger finger acting up badly.  My hands were really swollen.  The increase is swelling is likely because of the belt test last night.  So, I guess it's not all gluten related.  So far, I managed to be gluten free all week and this morning.  I don't know how long I can keep it up.

Well, I broke gluten free at lunch time.  I had Subway.  However, at dinner I had Whataburger.  eek!  I know, that's definitely not on the path to weight loss.  I was just so tired, and I couldn't bring myself to cook.

Day 10 - 1/20/2017

We had our Taekwondo belt test tonight.  We earned our first stripe on our brown belt.  It is always a rough 2 hour test, but I made it through.  

This morning, my hands were less swollen and no trigger finger.  We'll see how they do after the test.

Day 9 - 1/19/2017

Well, I have "lost" 8 pounds since my first post.  However, not eating gluten is a slow, painful death for me.  I'm really hungry, and I don't have enough variety of fruits to snack on.  I finally had enough spaghetti squash, and now I gag just thinking about it.  I really do love the stuff, but I guess I had too much.

We went out to Chili's tonight.  I had the gluten free Grilled Chicken Salad with a side of corn-on-the-cob.  It's now 8:48pm, and I'm hungry.

We did skip Taekwondo today.  I feel a bit bad about it, but my younger son fainted in the car after a blood draw today.  He slept for 3 and a half hours after we got home.

Day 8 - 1/18/2017

Today was pretty good.  My son and I were supposed to do our mile running trainer this morning, but his stomach hurt.  So, I spent a little extra time on the treadmill this morning.

Dinner tonight was pretty good.  I'm not a fan of crunchy onions or bell peppers in general, but these were not too bad.  The cauli-rice was really good.

Day 7 - 1/17/2017

Today was a decent day.  I got in 40 minutes on the treadmill and went to Taekwondo.  Work is starting to get a little stressful, so I hope that doesn't impact my results.

Day 6 - 1/16/2017

Today is MLK Day which means - holiday!  I slept in until about 9am which is a nice change. I went walking/running with my son this morning.  However, the app decided that after our second run that it was going to back up a run or two. We finished up what we think the app would have had us do and then we walked around the block once.

I spent some time looking for a new app after we got back.  I have one that I want to try out. It cost $2.99, so hopefully, it will be better.

Breakfast this morning was 2 boiled eggs with a little sea salt and an orange.

I then walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes.

I was excited that my produce baskets arrived today.  I love them!  They are really sturdy.

Lunch was left over spaghetti squash with meat sauce and fresh tomato.  It was delicious, but not as filling as I was hoping.

I went on an evening walk.  It was a bit chilly, but it was nice.  Walking outside is so much easier than on the treadmill.  It was already mostly dark when I started.  I can't wait until spring when time changes.
