So, I know that I have been terrible about journal-ing for a long time. Almost a month in fact. But do not fear, I am still going strong. Only 2 other major bumps in my diet road. The birthday debacle didn't really affect/effect (I can never remember which one, maybe you can help me Morgan, I know you are good at spelling and grammar) me, because I had been doing really well up to that point. But about 2 1/2 weeks ago I put in my 2 weeks notice at work and decided that I would stay home for a while to get healthy, and take care of myself, and about 4 days later I had a breakdown. It was my day off, and I had to get blood tests in the morning, which meant that I had to be fasting, which meant that I didn't follow my normal morning eating routine. So on the way home I went by Whole Foods Market to check out the place, and left with 4 gluten free food bars (because I was starving) and I was just going to eat one on the way home. And I ate all 4. Then I went to Trader Joes to get some of my flourless sprouted wheat-berry bread, and I also got a block of Dark Chocolate (which is legal as long as I only have like one little chunk a day) and I ate like 4 little chunks. And then I came home and we were all out of veggies, so I just got frustrated, and decided that I was going to just stop doing the diet until I stopped working and it would be easier to follow the schedule... and I promptly ordered pizza and cheesy bread from Dominos. And I proceeded to eat an ENTIRE thin crust ham and pineapple pizza and half of the order of cheesy bread...
So needless to say I was not feeling well the next day...
I have not taken any allergy medicine, nor have I had any problems with my allergies since I started this diet. And when I woke up the next morning, I had a sore throat, stuffy nose, sinus headache, etc... So I went that day and got everything that I would need to no longer be frustrated with my diet, because I realized that quitting the diet and just starting back up later was not an option. It WAS probably the most delicious pizza I have ever tasted, but it was totally NOT worth the hangover the next morning.
Then a few days ago I was heating up some spaghetti for my husband and he was still in the shower (after a long day at work) so I proceeded to eat the entire plate of spaghetti. I did not have quite as bad of a hangover the next morning, but I did not feel good and I had a sore throat again.
And I have decided that there may be a wheat allergy since that is the only thing that I am not allowed to eat that the two dishes has in common. I guess that we will see. But I love staying home and not stressing about work, and I am doing very well on the diet again.
I haven't weighed in a while but I will be updating that shortly as well. :)
