I am feeling rather pleased with myself. We had family over for Easter/grandsons birthday dinner and I managed to go GF for the meal!! I did have rolls on the table for everyone else but the rest of the meal was gluten free. (except the pie for dessert - which I did not have) I was a bit worried, especially about the…

When will I learn??
This weekend I did a dumb thing! I glutened myself. :( I guess I am having a hard time believing that I am gluten intolerant, since the celiac test came back negative. So Saturday night I really wanted a burger and I thought I could handle it. OH SO WRONG!! With in a few hours I had awful stomach pains, had a headache, was…

Still so much to learn
Since I am still very new to this, I am feeling very overwhelmed and a bit frustrated. Last night for supper I had fish, potato and frozen veggies. I didn't read the label on the veggie packaged, I figured "it's just vegatables they have to be ok" Now I know WRONG! I didn't sleep well, not feeling good at all. I woke up…

Back and ready to get serious
Hi everyone, I have been away from MFP for awhile. I just couldn't get motivated to do what I know I need to do to get healthy. I had cut out gluten for short time in December and was amazed at how much better I felt. My Dr. decided to send me for tests and told me to go back to eating gluten, so I did and I was right back…

Treadmill and walking
My motivation has finally founds its way back home and I am really ready to get to this. So last night I dusted off the treadmill and re-introduced myself to it. I walked for 40 mins with a few intervals of slow jogging, to get back into the swing of things. In the past (before losing some weight - and gaining again) I…

Eating out
Hi everyone. I went out with a group of co-workers today for a farewell lunch for a summer employee we have and I thought I made a good healthy choice, well healthier than some of the alternatives on the menu. When I got back I decided to fill in my food diary to check to see what I have left for supper and almost fell…

Hi everyone. I am just starting this journey over again and in the past I have alway had a hard time not stepping on the scales every morning. I wonder if others weigh in more or less than once a week.
