Wheat Free Not Wednesday (4)

Yes it is Friday.

I ate mostly wheat free this week, but there was some pizza and an amazing cupcake in there.

I went to the gym 5 out of 7 days, which is my goal for working out....at least 5 days a week.

I have been addicted to spin for 5 years now, but for the last 3, I have gone in and out with how often I go, but it will always be the default workout that gets me back into the gym.

Because my body is used to spinning, I do not always see the results I once did unless I push myself really hard every single class, which I should be doing anyway, but can't always bring myself to do.  Since, I love it, I still do it, but I do have to change it up for best results.  Enter Bar Method.  My gym offers a ballet body fusion which is basically Bar Method and it ROCKS.  It is basically a mix of ballet, pilates, yoga, and a core class. It tones, lengthens, and strengthens like nothing I have ever tried! 

A BFF told me about it and how much she loves it and since she is often (always) right, I decided to try it and I am becoming obsessed in a good way!  I have done 4 classes in the last 10 days or so and I can ALREADY see results.....it is crazy.......I cannot believe I cannot wait for Sunday....when I have class.

The class at my gym is done in an 80 degree studio, so your muscles and joints really loosen and you can focus on balance.  It is addicting. 

I haven't been counting calories for the last few weeks, but it is time this week, I have been eating a lot of junk these days....even though I have continued to lose.....so:

Week 1: -3
Week 2: -2
Week 3: - 1
Week 4: -1
Week 5: - 1.5 

TOTAL: - 8.5

Happy weekend! 

Wheat Free Wednesday (3)

Yes it is Thursday.

I spent yesterday working and making my existing clients feel taken care of and reviewed all of my business practices and policies. 

Rolling, rolling, rolling......

So, I am VERY happy here with the scale.  Kisses scale.

Downward trend is good.  Slow and steady wins the race.

Truth be told, I am still eating lots and my skin did flair a bit (sorry if I gross anyone out with this stuff) because of the stress of the recent firing, but I didn't turn to food, because without the wheat, my cravings have been easier to control.   I was even able to combat a french fry and milkshake run (well that had more to to with a snowstorm than anything else....)....eventually.    

Week 1: -3
Week 2: -2
Week 3: - 1
Week 4: -1

TOTAL: - 7 

Wheat Free Wednesday (2)

I am very busy catching up on work, playing, and eating ice cream......awesome!

I got on the scale on Monday and was down 2, but this morning, it was 1, so no cheating here.....another official pound gone....hopefully next week, I will keep the downward trend going.  Slow and steady wins the race!  To sum up - 

Week 1: -3
Week 2: -2
Week 3: - 1

TOTAL: - 6 

Wheat Free Wednesday (1)

This week was a good week.  My one real indulgence was some pizza which made me an itchy bitchy mess.  Still.....there will be more pizza in my future, sometimes, I know it.  Pizza doesn't last long around me, I turn into a monster.

I honestly just feel better and more satisfied without the wheat.  I am still eating some dairy, rice, corn, and potatoes.  None of that seems to be giving me a reaction, so I think in limited quantities, it is all okay....especially because I need ice cream and chips and queso sometimes and those things do not leave me a red spotted mess....THANK GOODNESS.

I REALLY want to get my skin under control, so if I do feel itchy after meals, I have started to write down what I ate to try to find some commonality.  Verdict is still out on tomatoes, but I do think they may be irritating me, too.

I am down another 2 pounds, so since I started my wheat free (with NON gluten free pizza twice) life, 5 pounds total.  RECAP:

Week 1: -3
Week 2: -2
TOTAL: -5

Here's to another 20!
