Cheese is still a part of my life, but that is all. I've been able to do without bread (and therefore, gluten) for the past two days. Don't ask me how. It still amazes me as well. But really, it hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. I know that it hasn't been long, but I think I feel better already. Not as bloated and fuzzy-minded. We will see how things go as time goes on. For now, it's off to bed. Trying to get an early night tonight.


Oh...I thought I'd mention it briefly here on this blogspot. I will be writing/starting another blog soon. It will be a blog about my career as a massage therapist in which I will be, amongst other topics, include real life stories and experiences with clients, their ailments and treatments, their concerns and updates on their conditions in regards to the techniques I use to help them in overcoming them. The blog isn't established yet, but its address will be www.holistictouchmassagebysandra.blogspot.com. I hope you will check it out. I will keep you posted. Thanks and goodnight.

I did so well today! Had a small amount of cheese, but no gluten...not even a tiny bit. That's such exciting news for me...No Gluten!!!! Yay!!! And, it wasn't too hard to do. I did crave it...I cannot lie. The family had rolls for dinner...crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside. There was one lonely roll left over after they had finished. It just lay there on the granite counter top, staring at me. But I didn't cave. I'm so proud of myself. Now, let's see what tomorrow brings. I went shopping today and yesterday...at Trader Joe's and Sprouts. I have no excuses at the moment not to be eating properly. Looking forward to it. :)

Things are looking up. Overall, I'm feeling healthier and taking better care of myself. Lately, even though life is keeping me so very busy, I've taken the time to make sure that I'm feeding myself properly, looking up recipes, getting more and varied ideas on dishes to make for myself...ingesting more fruits and veggies instead of processed foods. For now I really do feel like I'm on the right track. Yes, cheese is still on my menue and probably will be for quite a while, but I think I've come to terms with this and for now, I've decided to make this OK in my head (not so much in my heart yet considering all of the adverse effects I've learned this to have on the planet). Someday, I may give that up too. Anyway, time for bed...goodnight all.

Things were going well...well, sort of well, I guess. Yes, I've still been eating cheese and occasionally I've used a bit of Coffemate creamer, but other than that, things were going well...until a few days ago, that is. I craved eggs...and gave in. Today, it happened again. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I have to be OK with my pitfalls though, because if I get upset with myself, I just wouldn't be helping the situation. Tomorrow is another day :).
