Due to a comment from my friend Dottie on the previous blog post, I decided to write an update. It's hard enough to write one blog let alone two:)
I have maintained a 19-20 lb weight loss. I am still not feeling 100% and am going to my final doctor appointment tomorrow with a new GI doctor; a woman. I have also developed a painful condition called "burning mouth syndrome." It affects my mouth, my tongue and sometimes the rest of my face.
I am actually tired of talking about all this because they can't find anything wrong which makes me feel like "it's all in my head." My dermatologist suggested I stay off all wheat for a month. Her sister had some similar symptoms and she felt better after a month of not eating wheat. So I have have been wheat-free for 6 days. My chiropractor said to eat things that are NOT processed and that are as close to being natural as possible. Sounds good to me, I've got nothing to lose well...um...except more weight. I am going to look on his web site for links and yummy recipes.
Not feeling well is a great motivator to eat well but it's not a fun way to lose weight. Is there any FUN way though?
Hoping the wheat-free might also help my headaches which have returned in number and intensity. So, this is my journey; not sure why I'm on it. I am trusting God and trying to take one day at a time.
I still swim, mostly every day ; it's harder to get up and go when it's cold and dark, but it is worth it to get up and go.
Will post some good recipes that I come across.
