This is the last post on this blog. I managed to be sugar-free for months. I managed to be disciplined about exercise. But because of illness, I am not sure my weight loss is accurate. I basically lost about 20 pounds and went down a size or two, but how much of this is from diet and exercise, I am not sure. I do think the exercise helps slim different parts of your body. I still eat mostly sugar-free. I do have some occasionally, but nothing rich and sweet. I started wheat-free almost 2 weeks ago which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have not had much of a headache in five days but whether it is because of the wheat-free diet I do not know. What I can say is that there is wheat AND sugar in many things; all, so it will taste good. There is also salt in MANY things especially restaurant food. And, although, I am eating healthy, none of it has helped the problem in my tummy.
My next step here is to ask for an MRI because it can visualize tissue problems that a cat scan can't pick up. I have left a message for my GI doctor's nurse to call me. That's the way with U of M. It's not too effective I have learned, but I will be persistent. It seems like if I eat healthy, I should feel healthy right? Uh hum! I am thankful for minimal headaches again and good cholesterol and sugar numbers. The rest....it seems up to God's timing and diagnoses; something simple and fixable would be nice. I will stay on the wheat-free diet for 2 more weeks and always watch the sugar since 4 of my siblings and my dad have diabetes. Sugar really isn't good for you. I will still swim/walk 4-6 days a week; it is good for stress and energy. It was fun doing the blog; I love the title, but writing two blogs is hard. So thanks for reading and your comments.
