4/1/13

Okay, so: I am checking in, even though I didn't do great today.

I ate pretty well today, all healthy things. I intended to work through the day and have Derek take me to the gym at night, but now I have severe cramps. I was totally gluten free today and yesterday, and now my cramps are not only in my stomach but also in my left foot. Aunt Roberta: how did you get through the foot cramp? Did it just go away on its own?

I am experiencing a lot of sugar cravings... but, since I didn't have sugary snacks in the house, I was able to not succumb. I am still feeling lethargic. I think I will go to bed early today and then go to the gym EARLY tomorrow, before my aches and pains have time to add up.

Last night, I was experiencing the worst abdominal pain I have had in weeks. I had to take my narcotic meds because it was unbearable. I do tend to feel more lethargic on days after I take Vicodin... that's probably another factor.

Mea culpa...

LATER SAME NIGHT UPDADE:

Once again, I am in acute pain. Feels like screwdriver twisting under left ribcage. Ow. I thought this might happen as I transition into 100% wheat free life because my body is so sensitive to changes. Hope these symptoms go away soon, and don't crop up while I am on the elliptical or something.
