Just a quick post to keep me honest :D
Weight is holding steady. I am eating really clean this week. Feels great, actually.
Still not paleo, sigh... even though I know that's what's best for my body, it is SO HARD to get on that wagon. I am gluten-free, though, which helps. I am getting those rashes on my legs again... the ones I get when I am eating things that inflame my body.
So, honesty: I don't care that I am inflaming my body right now. I am eating my damned gluten free bread. UGH. Why? I don't know.
Actually, today I made the decision NOT to buy the bread this week (I buy it on Wednesdays at the Farmer's Market)... so when I run out around Friday/Saturday, I won't have anymore. We'll see how it goes. It is such a nice easy pleasureable snack.
Everything else I am eating is pretty much strictly proteins, veggies, with a few nuts and fruits thrown in. So that front is doing well!
Walking everyday, at work and for the dog. Doing a few strength exercises in the evening. Ones that don't make my shoulder go OW.
So... there's my admissions for the day:
I am not doing everything perfectly.
I am eating clean and in reasonable portions.
I am staying active.
My weight is good.
My energy is PRETTY good (I get exhausted by about 7, haha, the days are so full!)
:)
It's good for me to write that stuff down. I know I can do better. I don't want to hurt my body by feeding it things that hurt it.
Namaste, friends.
Very smart of you IMO. I use the same technique you are using with the bread. Noticing that you have physical inflammation then stopping the purchase of the item. In a few weeks time , the urge to eat the item decreases , and the symptom goes away. Almond butter and fetta cheese were this way for me.
