For whatever reason, I still do NOT want to believe that I am gluten intolerant...LOL! I KNOW i am....but for whatever reason, I like to blame my headaches on "other" things....being tired, that time of the month, stress....well, last night...(and I'm hoping for the last time) I finally realized that I AM GLUTEN INTOLERANT and it CAUSES MIGRAINES...(among other GI issues)!....
yesterday was an hellish day at work...I started running and never stopped all day...so I didn't get breakfast or lunch....instead...I chose to eat what was available to me...1/2 a bagel and a package of crackers....THAT was probably bad enough...but then my friends talked me into going out after work. Anyone who knows me even a little, knows that I usually research the place and KNOW what I can eat before I get there....I THOUGHT we were going to Chevy's...not my favorite place, but one I know I can get things without wheat....but we went to this place called Chasin Tails...a New Orleans style restaurant....I tried to get chicken without breading, salad and fries...but SOMETHING had gluten in it...the salad dressing? whatever was on the "non fried" chicken...the sweet potato fries....ugh....Even before I got home I had a headache..and it continued...and continued....until my alarm went off at 6am and I had the worst migraine that I have had in a long time......
I don't know why I can't remember this BEFORE i choose poorly........
and I missed my personal training session b/c I couldn't see to drive OR lean over.....(good news is...he's fitting me in tomorrow!).....
My headache and GI stuff is mostly gone right now...almost noon and I can't bring myself to put my contacts in or get off the couch.....
UGH..the next 4 months are gonna be hard enough without sabotaging my own success with things I KNOW don't work for me....
So...here it is...NO MORE GLUTEN of ANY KIND...even if it means I can't eat for the day at work....I will carry gluten free bars with me to work...and have protein shakes there too!!! I will begin to journal everything I eat again!!! (Funny, Rebecca M just emailed me last night and asked if I was every gonna journal my food again...haha..I'm tired of doing it...but it does keep me accountable and I guess I just HAVE To do it to keep me honest!)...
So, today is it....I start again today.....
IMFL..you ARE MINE..and you will BE mine without headaches or GI issues...but its up to NO ONE but me to get me there headache free (I'm still depending on my friends and family to get my there!!!)...but only I can do it gluten free..
Thanks for listening...
ME
