Yes, I slacked off a week. So I'll start back tomorrow with quotes from the book and surprise source of wheat. It was a combination of things that caused the break in writing. First, it's just been a super hectic week with getting kids ready to start school as well as myself getting ready to go back. Buying supplies, trying to secure financial aid, figuring out what is due when to make sure I graduate on time.
Besides the busy life, I found my resolve weakening last week. I won't say that I didn't cheat and have some wheat, but I did not have a lot. I remained mostly wheat free. I discovered that having a little wheat did not throw me off like I thought it would...both physically and mentally. I also discovered that even when you don't eat wheat, you still need to watch what you eat. Keep up with the fruits and vegetables, don't eat so much other carbs. This may be TMI, but PMS and my monthly visitor didn't help to keep my resolve. I really questioned last week whether I could commit to this for the long term. Now that I've made it through the worst, my resolve is coming back. I know what I need to do, now it's just time to do it.
I still feel that going wheat free has helped me overall. I still feel more focused, my body feels better and I have more energy. I'm not sure what the weight loss/gain is. Actually, I doubt I have a gain, but I had gained some back from what I lost. This could be due to other circumstances...I'll get the official number this Monday as I enter week 4. I'll be back in usual form tomorrow and will be better at keeping up with what I started.
