You're right... I haven't been posting for a few days. Things are basically fine, although I am having flares from my interstitial cystitis problem. Very nasty burning feelings. I called my dr and he said it's probably just a week-before-my-period thing. I wish I didn't have a high chance of an uncomfortable week the week before my period AND the week OF my period... that's half the month! I have an appointment with him on Monday, so that's good.
In case you were wondering weather or not I ate the Cheezits or any other gluten since the cookies this Saturday, the answer is.... NO! No gluten at all. I have, however, eaten some sweets. I will be knocking this off soon... I just miss gluten sooooooo much! I have stopped eating sweets before full stop and been fine with that, I didn't really even have withdrawal. The wheat withdrawal is definitely with me these past week. I feel very tired and drained and moody and grouchy. Better this morning though! I have to snap out of those feelings for my interview.
I think my body is feeling deprived. I hope it ends after I go off the gluten for another week and ween myself off the sweets I compulsively, inexorably bought at the store on Tuesday (and have now thrown away). They were toffees. F***** delicious. But, none of those ingredients were a good idea.
Doing my exercise at home last few days because of the IC pain. When it's flaring, moving around a whole lot makes it worse. This morning it is more mellow so I am hoping to do some more intese exercise today or tomorrow. I do like exercise. I also have to do the laundry this weekend... isn't it funny how much easier it is to get out the door when you have all you options cleanly lined up in a row? This weekend I might also get some new workout attire because my old pants have been threatening to fall down <-- a GOOD problem to have at any rate :D
I have been enjoying my juicer. My first attempt at "pulp crackers" did not work out per se... oh well, I will try again or do something else with it! I want to get the fiber from my veggies, but something about being able to drink down all the nutrients in a whole bag of spinach really appeals to me. It feels like a powerful health shot!
My weight is hovering in the mid 160s, 164/165. Which is... still pretty exciting! My face looks really different than it did before! (Also now I have my natural hair color.)
So... that's something to celebrate.
PS... it occurs to me that we are all starting to look more and more alike, me, Roberta, and Ruth. Now that I'm getting thinner too and have the dark hair/ light eyes combo the Beiers have. That's the way it grows out of my head! My hair is another part of me which is happy to tell me it is WAY healthier now that I am getting my vitamins and protein, and not dying it every few months. :D
I didn't realize your hair was so dark. It looks good it's natural color. You must have to do a lot to lighten it so much. In the long run, I do think your hair will be happier if you aren't coloring it all the time. You look great! Yes, you do have Beier eyes and hair, though your skin tone must come from your mom's side of the family. A very nice combination of genes, I'd say! :) Keep up the good work with the exercise and diet. It will all pay off. I'm hoping you symptoms settle down once you are off wheat for good! I have high hopes for that!! Let us know how the interview went! Have a great weekend. Love, Aunty Berta!!
