Wheat and sugars

These things I am trying to avoid. Wheat because it seems to make me have bad mood swings or even trigger a depressive episode. Sugar because it makes me feel sick. Fake sugar too I want to avoid... Really any gmo food :/

Yesterday I had coffee cake made with GF flour and two Mountain Dews. Around 630-700 I was pretty grumpy, I forced myself out and made potato pancakes (which I make with a little flour) and I was grumpy that night. Alas I have leftovers to eat today :/ and Peanut slept poorly so I want soda. But I'll keep working towards my goal of eliminating it.

End of February

Still having shin problems, and my weight has yo-yo'd back up. I got down to 163ish, now I'm at 167ish. Having a lot of emotional eating the last two weeks. I'm hoping to get a handle on it. Going to the gym now and doing what I can with what doesn't hurt, and I'm also in physcial therapy. I've got a giant list of stretches and exercises to do everyday. But the battle is won and lost in the kitchen.

New Years and Continued Challenges

It's the new year. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my shins still aren't fully healed. They're mostly better, but when I play hop around with Peanut, it's not uncommon for them to hurt. Plus I had gotten down to 168.8 lbs (a loss of almost 15 lbs since I started) but over the holidays I got into a funk and I'm back up to 171. I know, not a huge huge deal, but it's still sigh-worthy. It's not water weight at this point, I let it happen.

But it's the new year. I let the first slide, as I knew/planned for it not to be a great day for a reboot, but yesterday I worked out (a bit) and didn't eat horrible. I don't want to eat any red meat or wheat this month, that's my challenge. I'd also like to cut back on the soda, that's a huge area I let myself slide on these last couple weeks. Since Boi is seemingly rather permanently working mornings instead of evenings, I've decided to just kick them downstairs in the evening so I can do 30 day shred. This is my second or third time trying to restart it. The other few times though I was nervous to do too much with my shins. But last night didn't seem bad. Crossing my fingers they just get stronger and I don't hurt them. But it's been like, 2 months now. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaze! And if I don't do the DVD for whatever reason, I need to do at least some yoga/calisthenics.

I go back to the doctor next week, we'll see what she says about my shins then. I'm suddenly reminded that I didn't take my iron, and the Peanut wants attention. Ciao!
