So last Wednesday marked the official week of deciding to go wheat-free. And this Wednesday? Two weeks. I wish I could start this blog on a positive note, but I'm really baffled by something.
I'm almost amazed and how much my appetite has gotten out of control. I seem to be this insatiable monster that can't seem to get enough food into its eager belly. Admittedly, in the middle of a second bowl of rice Chex and almond milk (which I had to break down and buy because my body was downright fiening for it) I realized it felt like I had an itch that could not be scratched.
Yes, I missed bread, crackers, cake and things of the sort. But I didn't realize how much they were a part of my SOUL that going without it caught me up in trying to find something to replace them, but nothing could. I would try to eat more protein. Still felt hungry. More fats (nuts, oils, etc.) Still hungry. I went back and upped my fiber intake (more quinoa, gluten-free grains, etc). Hungry. I already take vitamins/suppliments (B-complex, D3, Coconut Oil mostly) and really can't seem to get over this hungry hump!
I know I've gained because since being so hungry I decided not to count points to see if it was what or how much I needed to eat to help curb my hunger. I was amazed and flustered at counting points and still being ravenous after eating a meal (albeit not even exercising, either... hm... maybe that's what I need to get back into?) so I stopped. But I can't continue on much longer not counting points and still being able to go wheat free and fit into my clothes at the end of the month. It kind of defeats the purpose, I think!
So, starting into this second week exercising, counting points and going wheat-free. Tonight's thoughts are a 15-minute jog and a 45-minute Zumba stint. We'll see how well this will go!
