It Doesn't Take Much......

                                                            

to get off track with a diet.  Not that I have eaten anything overtly sweet, I have not been careful with my carbs.  After  another small bowl of  "Trader Joe's Shredded Wheat" last night before bed and two pieces of low carb toast, I ended up pounding headache after swimming this morning.  Lunch was the summer chicken salad at Panera with a couple bites of the sour dough bread-not much mind you but a lot of sweet carbs.  After sleeping the headache off this morning, it came back after lunch.  This is why I am thinking of a mostly gluten-free diet.  I found out from someone that there is a blood test to see if you are sensitive to gluten; it is called an Igg test.  I am going to pursue it.  I think the shredded wheat upsets my stomach which would be another indication of gluten sensitivity. 
Isn't interesting when you follow a plan for 5 weeks and think it is the best eating plan for you and you are so convinced..........it is so easy to fall off the wagon.  That "bear claw" at Panera for 99 cents with a drink was veeeery tempting!
So back to basics tomorrow.
