Been awhile....(162 lbs)

Sorry..it's been awhile. Yikes. Since then..I have realized that I am definitely gluten intolerant. It's not a HUGE deal if I eat gluten. The side effects I notice is definite water retention. I will gain 5 lbs instantly and I can definitely feel it. When I didn't know this...it made me irritable...but it helps to know what's going on with your body.

So..there are times I will cheat and have gluten..in which I did over the weekend. And I gained the infamous 5 lbs..not sure why 5 lbs..but that's the magic number. But..the next day..I thought I would have this rice bowl..which had a little soy in it. Wasn't sure if a little soy sauce would create an issue..well it did. I believe soy sauce is the biggest culprit. When I think back in the day....any time I had soy sauce..I would bloat up significantly. Soy sauce contains wheat. I wonder if it's a mix of soy and wheat that gets me. I know my daughter gets eczema whenever she eats soy. Hmm...something to think about.

Anywho...I have been slack-a-lackin on eating less. I was doing 20 mins of exercise for awhile and doing pretty good..but I slack-a-lack'd on that too. Stupid...since I can totally tell the difference. So I am back on it again.

Well..I will write more often....it motivates me. Even if no one is reading this. ha ha.

Until then....
