Today is Day 2 being Gluten Free.
So far, other then the enormous grocery bill and the amount of time I've spent cooking, it hasn't been too hard to change over. I don't feel any different yet. I am extremely tired today but that could be due to my being sick and probably coughing all night in my sleep. John was floored at how expensive our grocery bill was. Not that I blame him one bit. I was not planning on spending over $200.00 but things require so many different types of flours and such. And the flours add up! Teeny loaves of bread are $4.99 and up. That's a lot of money.
I made large meals that would carry us throughout the week. I made pot roast in the crock pot and I made a huge lasagna also. Plus some gluten free orange cupcakes that were amazing! I ruined my salad at lunch today, I put dressing on it that had gluten in it. Thankfully I caught it before I ate it. I hope I didn't make the same mistake yesterday too. :(
I am giving this 3-4 weeks to see if there's any improvement on how I am feeling. If I don't see any improvement, I will safely assume I do not have a gluten sensitivity.
I have been doing a lot of strength training and not very much cardio to see how my results are. I take new measurements in one week. Since I've been sick, I haven't really done any cardio except a bike ride and some light walking.
Last night was hard. John made toast with some peanut butter and jelly on it. I wanted it so bad. I almost asked for a bite. Instead, I got up and made my own with gluten free bread! Yay! I can do this :)
I will keep you posted as to how I'm feeling.
