I will spare you the I've found a new program, starting over, and this time I'll do it bullshit. The bottom line is I'm fat again, sad and discouraged. I've had pretty good stamina when it's come to exercising and eating well, but then I get in these three week gorge fests that undo weeks of hard work. The ten pounds that takes a month to get off goes back on in a matter of days. Then the who cares attitude sets in and then another five pounds goes on. My clothes don't fit I get sad and stop exercising until I finally muster up a day or two of sheer willpower and I'm back on track. But with another fifteen pounds to lose.
I've read the book Grain Brain and learned the dangers of gluten. In fact a month ago I went gluten free for two weeks. I felt great, slept better and was not sad at all. Then i had a large turkey panini sandwich, some chips and peppermint patties and the three week sabotage began.
The same is true for my reading and prayer time. I haven't done squat. As we head into the Christmas season I was reminded again how important it is to be thankful for God's blessings. I know will his guidance I can finally shed this extra weight.
I am using the T25 videos and returning to my gluten free lifestyle. Lets see what I can do with this.
Great to see you blogging again! Gluten free is a path worth taking. Just don't substitute with processed foods. Go clean- and you will feel incredible! I slip and have a pizza and it starts a vicious cycle of craving. Wheat Belly is another good resource to understand effects of gluten on health. Today's crop of wheat is not just an issue for Celiacs. Good luck to you!
