I've got a lot of change in my life happening. I'm moving to AZ this Friday! So excited!
I'll have to start using this more often to keep my family updated on the great things that are happening each day diet wise and then an 'overview' of the week!
I felt so much better and in control of everything I put into my body when I was vegan so hopefully within the next couple weeks I'll be completely gluten free and vegan.
I'm excited yet nervous about getting back into this lifestyle.
Saturday night, Sunday, and this morning have been pretty rough. I get confused as to what I should eat and I feel like I've completely lost touch with what I once had with my vegan diet.
I haven't been vegan for about 5 months now and it shows. My skin looks blotchy, I've gained quite a bit of weight and I'm super drained all the time.
A couple weeks ago I noticed that I was getting blister-like blemishes on my skin. Mostly on my chin/neck/back areas. Saturday I ran into a naturopathic doctor I used to work for. She said that my gluten allergies must be kicking into high gear trying to expel the 'toxins' at a rapid rate. I'm putting too much in to process at one time.
So Saturday night I ordered a jambalaya dish from McMeniemans and ate tortilla chips with artichoke dip. Once I started drinking though, I completely fell off the wagon and bread and a slice of pizza. Oy Vey.
Sunday morning I had a fruit salad and some hash browns. I was starving though, so on the way back into Portland we stopped at the waffle window and I got a PB&J waffle. so good yet so bad.
Sunday night I went out with my good friend heather and got a chicken Caesar salad w/o croutons and a mojito. The waitress dropped off a plate of bread. I ended up 2.5 pieces. Heather ended up ordering a grilled artichoke which we dipped in a remolade sauce. It was delicious.
This morning. I had fiber1 cereal and then some honey coated almonds/cranberries. For lunch my work ordered yummy burritos which i took the filling out of.
I'm not sure if the gluten will affect me since the rice/beans/vegetables were wrapped up in the flour tortilla at first, but since I haven't 100% commit to this lifestyle change yet I doubt it makes a huge difference.
