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.
