Day Four -5

I've been following the "diet" for the last 4 days but I haven't made it to the gym since I have a bunch of sick kids.  Still, I'm down 5 pounds from where I was a little over a week ago.

Day 2 (again)

Steel cut oatmeal with strawberries and maple syrup for breakfast
Clementine for snack
GF penne with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese
Cucumber for snack
Grilled swordfish, asparagus, and quinoa/brown rice blend.

My daughters are refusing to eat this and are whining about starving.

Mood:  Overwhelmed, tired, but not as crabby.  I feel better than yesterday but still drained.

Physical:  crazy bad gas all day, diarrhea.  Maybe I should lay off the hummus?

Weight +1

Something new - Gluten Free?

I went on a fried chicken mountain dew diet when I lived in Korea.  It was a joke that started because no matter what I eat, I gain weight.  But on this crazy diet, I lost 30 pounds in the first month.  I even stopped working out like crazy.  And I never felt better.  It was a horrible diet so the only thing I can guess is that it was cutting out gluten that did it.

I went to Whole Foods this morning and shopped.  I bought meat, vegetables, fruits, and gluten free items.

So tomorrow I'm going to go gluten free and see how I feel after a week.

Right now:  Irritable, sad, exhausted, no motivation (lazy), concentration issues, bloating, gas, diarrhea (have had this for about 10 years), acne, headaches.

207.0

I'm barely eating.  I had two packs of tuna and an apple yesterday - how on earth am I not losing anything?

204.0 this morning.

My waist looks thinner but my new pants are still tight.  

I'm stressed.  I spend most of my time cleaning up after my kids and the rest of the time upset about the messes and screaming.

It keeps going up

207.5 tonight.

I stopped eating "crap" three days ago.  I am ravenous right now, but I'm avoiding the urge to break into the junk food I bought earlier or eat the rest of the pizza I bought for my kids.

I was hoping to lose weight before going to Japan.  At this point, I don't even think I'll be close to the starting weight from last time I saw him.  I have to lose over 20 pounds just to get to the heavy weight I was last time we met.

I bought clothes about one month ago.  The pants are getting tighter.

WTF!

I stepped on the scale at 204.5 today.

I went to WI for a friend's wedding, caught up on school, and prepared for a hurricane.  I didn't get to the gym much during that time.  Somehow, during the past 3 weeks, I put on 10 pounds.  My weight is up over 20 pounds from my trip to Korea in July/August only 2 months ago.  The number just keeps climbing.  By the time I get to Japan in another 7 weeks, I could be up another 20 pounds at 225.  I'm ballooning like crazy right now.
