Just two weeks...

-
So it has been two weeks since I have started this gluten free diet. This is what I have experienced so far:
1. Its fucking expensive. My grocery bill has almost doubled. And I am literally buying the same amount of items I usually do sometimes even less. It is atrocious.
2. I feel like I have more energy. It's weird. I mean on my second week I was sick with the flu so that did not count but the first week I felt like amazing.
3. Bloating and gas has decreased a good amount. still there but not as bad. and a lot less.
5. way too damn expensive.
6. I miss yeast rolls. (they are my favorite)
7. I need to buy gluten free flour so I can actually cook and eat my desserts I make.
8. Dinner planning is hard because my boyfriend must also deal with gluten free meals because I aint making two different dinners each night. At least he gets to still eat the regular bread and poptarts.
7. I wish fruit loops and cinnamon toast crunch were gluten free.
8. Had hoisin sauce last night as my pork marinated in it and found out the last ingredient is wheat. couple hours later I was bloated and gassy ridiculous amount. damn..
9. soy sauce isn't naturally GF. Fuck
10. EXPENSIVE. $$$$$
11. I can still enjoy Kraft Mac And Cheese. Bought the box for the powdered mix (which is GF) and used brown rice GF pasta with it instead. Tasted fantastic
12. Big Caloric cut and the second day in did not eat enough protein and pretty much crashed when I woke up in the morning. Shakes super weak. thought I was gonna pass out. It has not happened since now that I am learning to balance.
13. Made Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies for an event at work and everyone said they were the most amazing cookies ever. I could not taste it:(
14. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
15. Snacks aren't as fun.
16. At least I can eat chips and Pirate Booty
17. Kit kats have wheat in them..duh like WTF its just my favorite candy of ALL TIME.
18. I miss food.
19. Rice noodles are my new favorite
20. I don't make enough to be GF.
21.Im eating a lot of rice and meat fruit and veggies
22. Everything Is half the size and DOUBLE the price. what the fork such billshirt.


On other notes. Started physical therapy then stopped because the first visit cost $275. yeah no. But now I have stretches and what not to do. I hope it helps.
Moving out of this apartment at the end of the year. Thank god. I can't wait to have more space!
Work is going well. Busy and what not.
Want a ps4 for Christmas. Fingers crossed.
 Starbucks Winter flavors are out. BEST EVER. GINGERBREAD HOT CHOCOLATE. DRINK IT AND LET YOUR WORRIES SLIP AWAY.
Lindsey Stirling came out with a Christmas album. I can't wait until December to listen to it on repeat for 25 days.

$7 GF bread the size of my palm. Yet tastes pretty good

Mental AWAREness

-
 Growing up I can't say I was never really exposed to a lot about mental awareness or even people who had mental problems. I learned about my family history as I got older and knew that depression, anxiety and, adhd were in the family. No shame about that. I am in my 30's now and thankfully have yet to experience any of that enough, where medication is needed. As I ventured out into the world and met more people, some of them did have problems; social anxiety, anxiety, ocd, bipolar, depression , addiction etc. I learned more about certain issues and how it impacted their lives and how they tried to cope with it.  Going into the veterinary field I knew, relatively, that it was not all fun and games but I did not realize how bad it really was. Not only is this field in the top dangerous fields to work in but it also has some of the highest suicide rates of any profession. I can say that is not something to be proud of. The toxicity, the burnout, the lack of pay/benefits, compass...

Why do I keep doing this?

Every day I am trying not to talk to him but i always end up texting him first. I wanted to stop talking to him long enough that he would think of me to talk to not that he ever would...hes too preoccupied by her all the time.  I had to just keep thinking of memories over and over, back in January when we both went nuts because we just wanted to hold each other because neither of us had been able to do that for a month since we had come to terms that we really liked each other a lot. I had never even hugged you before. I have never wanted to be in someone’s arms as badly as yours in those moments we had to wait until we could finally see each other and do that for the first time. a hug is all it took for us to realize and feel this is exactly what we want. we need to be together. Ugh Im also getting him a Christmas present for him and i told him that it doesnt mean he have to get one for me.  And since he didnt respond to that he probably agreed but didnt want t...

Little behind but things are kind of just becoming the norm now. Nothing too big changing in maine other than the rest of the counties have been able to open up the rest of their stuff again with rules of course. Work is what it is now. Extremely busy and still chaotic. Days go by fast at work. Next month we will start Saturdays again yuck not fun. We will also have one less doctor to work on a Saturday as well. So the other doctors do not want to rotate more often. Meal prepping going well. scored two for two so far. I think this week will also be a good one. I am enjoying it i must say. Making them healthy of course. Went to Sebago Lake all day yesterday in the 90 degree heat. it was perfect! crowded as all hell but the lake was so nice to swim in and the pup had a blast. Today is a more chilled day. got up to take care of medical boarders and did groceries, came back and started meal prepping and then made cookies. had to give away my sea dogs brewing hard seltzer to the n...
