Wow, most OCD am I!
But logging my progress in my commitment to lose weight, get healthier physically, emotionally and spiritually definitely keeps me accountable.
I just hope this is not the world's most boring blog!!
I am going out to lunch with my son and his girlfriend today. They chose Hometown Buffet. My diet will definitely be put to the test!
I was quite sore this morning. Mostly my arms. I worked out with weights on Friday. So this morning I took it easy hooping. No fancy arm movements.
My allergies are still intense. My nose is running like a faucet.
This could also be part of the detox that Dr. Davis talks about in his book ("10-Day Grain Detox"). The withdrawals can vary from person to person, but can be brutal. Other than my faucet nose, I feel pretty good this morning. My arms hurt, but the pain is from working out.
I feel lighter today. More balanced. Serene even.
I am not craving carbs as much as the first few days. Since I am able already gluten-free, I was not craving bread or pasta. But had serious corn and rice cravings! Especially corn chips and tortillas. I'm glad I didn't give in. I am not feeling deprived today.
It makes sense to eat more proteins and fat. They satisfy the appetite. Carbs, especially processed grains tend to trigger binging, at least for me. And then they turn to sugar, which the body then uses to burn for fuel rather than stored fat.
It is finally making sense to me. Took me long enough!
Below are two photos of my face. First one is about a month ago on a gluten free diet. Second one is this morning - day 4 of grain free. With allergies in full force!
I hope you can see a difference!
I am off to lunch now. Wish me luck! Happy Sunday! Talk to you tomorrow.
Love,
Zita
