Hi,
After reading Wheat Belly and completing a few weeks of tapering down, I am now going to go wheat free for a month long experiment. If I do feel better this month, I will make it a permanent change. Derek and I went grocery shopping and I have everything I need. I remember that in Wheat Belly certain "gluten free" foods were also bad for us - with starches and tapioca - but, I found tortillas and pasta made from real brown rice. I think this will help me... I read all the ingredients to make sure there was nothing nefarious.
I also got back to the gym, finally, today and yesterday. I took about two weeks off exercise (with the Supreme Court rally and another long walk mixed in, so those were good days). It was mostly because I was feeling very sick, but there was some laziness there too. And then, the cycle of feeling guilty and down from not exercising and feeling less inspired to go. Well, I have good and snapped out of that!
Should be a good few weeks.

I am glad you are snapping out of your down-n-out streak. You might try blogging every single day, whether or not you are having a good day. There is something about blogging about not doing the things you know you oughta be doing that gets you up and doing them sooner...just a thought. Knowing I had to update my trusted readers everyday really kept me on track! Good luck with Wheat Free. I think you will love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great suggestion! Setbacks only become "failures" if one doesn't turn them around, so I will keep up the blogging until I am back in good habits.
