Gluten Free Days 11-17

I'm feeling a bit ambitious, so I'm going to catch up on a few more days of my 30 day challenge.
I did a little better this week and food isn't controlling my thoughts so much.

Day 11:
Breakfast:   Van's Gluten Free Waffles (really good!)
                   Coconut Milk
Snack: Apple

Lunch:  El Tap Fajitas (again)

Snack: Veggies and Fruit (from a tray)
            Chips and Pizza Dip
             1 Chocolate Drop Cookie
             Sample of pudding dessert

Dinner:  Turkey/Cheese Roll-ups
             Chips and Dip
             Dr Evil

Today's challenge was eating with the Mom's from our homeschool group.  Most snacks are just glutenated.  I made good choices except there was some cake in the bottom of the pudding dessert, I didn't eat the cake and stopped eating it once I realized it was there.  I did notice my stomach seems less bloated today but still no weight loss because I'm probably just eating too much or something.  I was a little moody and tired today, probably from lack of sleep.  Still gave in to the Dr Pepper because it is in my house and staring at me.

Day 12:
Breakfast:  Chocolate Protein/Banana Smoothie

Snack:  Veggie Sushi Roll with Braggs(soy sauce replacement)

Lunch:  Baked Potato with BBQ Turkey

Snack: Popcorn and Dr Evil

Dinner:  Steak
             Roasted Potatoes
             Steamed Veggies
             Glass of Wine
Desert: 1 G Free Cookie

Okay day, I ate a wide variety today from sushi to bbq to popcorn to steak, ha ha ha.  No gluten today but I had a day of focusing on feeling deprived despite eating a plethora of different foods.  I really don't miss bread at all, I guess the discipline part is just getting on my nerves a bit, ha ha.

Days 13-17

I did not log anything these days.  I did not eat gluten but I was very moody and emotional.  I felt physically yucky so I just didn't do much of anything to be honest.  I didn't eat much either.  I found out during this time that I indeed do for a fact have Hashimotos and I was dealing with overactivity from my thyroid this week.  I called my new doctor desperate for help!  I am starting a new thyroid medicine next week and some progesterone cream because that came back low as well.   I felt a little overwhelmed but I still feel hopeful that I am on the right path to feeling better.  It reminds me of that Miley Cyrus song "The Climb"...there's always gonna be another mountain...I'm always gonna wanna make it move...it's always gonna be an uphill battle, and sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.  True dat....but the climb will be worth conquering this mountain.  I know I will make it and conquer this mountain with guidance from my awesome God.
