Week one without wheat

I at first thought taking wheat out of my diet would be hard but it isn't. Not sure if it is because I keep telling myself that wheat can hurt my thyroid or if I just don't eat it as much now but it hasn't been that much of a challenge. I had one little cheat yesterday with about four bites of Outback bread. It was probably more of a nostalgic thing since I worked there before. Overall though not hard!

I also have been back at the gym like I used to do. I went Tuesday and today. I used to go just about everyday so I will have to get back at it for sure. It feels so great to be motivated again and feel like I even have the energy to workout. In general life has been better now that I just feel better! Thank you doctor for checking my thyroid again!

In the area of budgeting I have been struggling. I started working with Isotonix but the truth is I just do not have it in me to be a sales person. It also has been costing me more money and that is something I can't keep up. I am probably going to stop doing the business side of it all but continue to buy the products. I love the products I just can't afford having to pay monthly for them. Also been working on how to save money when work is constant driving and going out to eat. A co worker and I have been sharing lunches when she is in the office and then I have been making myself pack lunches. It has helped but I need to get better at it for sure!

Anyway that is enough for now!

Here's to health in all forms

Food for thought, and health...

I haven't posted in forever for a few reasons. One, nobody really reads my blog but me and I think my best friend, two life has been so crazy I have not had time to think about a blog, and three I haven't been healthy. I thought my job was why I was so tired, depressed, and dealing with anxiety. In fact my thyroid has been low. I have been diagnosed hypothyroid since I was 11; that does not always mean I pick up on the warning signs. Thankfully I have amazing trained doctors who do!!! Now that my thyroid is slowly getting back to normal I have already noticed changes. I have energy again, I wake up better, I am motivated in life. I just overall am better. Of course after learning all this I started looking more into things that affect thyroid gland. Many MANY say that wheat products do (Also soy but I don't really eat any soy products). I think that to help me and my metabolism I am going to get back on the TLS weight loss. It does not have wheat until about week seven and that is optional. I do still have my Clean Eating Magazines with many gluten free options.

Starting tomorrow, completely wheat free! I will update on here how I feel, how I look, and just overall process.

Also, side note. Next weekend I have a 5K for a dear friend suffering with cancer. I may not run it all but I am excited to be supporting her!
