WORKOUT
Ran before work. Possibly the worst run ever though, just going to leave it at that.
LIFE
I’m not going to lie, I have cried a lot in the last month to Dan. I cried this morning before leaving for work when he asked about my run.
I am SO tired of feeling this way and not knowing what’s wrong. Is it IBS? Is it a food intolerance? Is it gluten intolerance? Is it something else?
I’m sitting here with a giant lump in my right side, as I type. Doesn’t happen everyday, but it’s annoying. Whatever happens on a daily basis is never the same, but it’s always annoying.
Dr.’s office called again today (guess they are calling as the panels come in?). No celiac, which I expected. But I also know that this method is inaccurate at least 80 percent of the time (from medical journal research). My money isn’t on it being this, i’m just saying I figured it would come back negative. And that doesn’t rule out intolerance, which is different. Once again nurse said, ” he wants to talk to you about this on the 20th”.
FOOD
Breakfast #1: leftover vegetarian migas, almonds, hot tea
Breakfast #2: egg on Ezekiel toast
Lunch: last Sunny Mediterranean wrap, string cheese, carrots, apple
Snack: Chia Peach Cobbler without any nut-butter (wasn’t sure it was necessary, may try again soon with it). Dan is still scarred for life that I called it that in the grocery store on Sunday, he said people looked at me weird. He even polled his co-workers and they agreed that “nut butter” is dirty. Ok, I will use the name of the nut from now on….gutter-brain boys!
Dinner: Pesto Chicken (from HEB grocery near the fajitas), salad, oven fried okra. I miss iced tea the most. I simply cannot drink cold tea with nothing in it. So i’ve been drinking water, which is better anyhow. I still miss it though.
I liked the chicken, it was really good. I had wanted to grill it, but with our patio being full sun in the evening and it being over 100 degrees? No thank you. Next time I will grill, because I think it would bring out the flavors even more.
Okra was good, but next time I am using more spices. I put cayenne, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in with the okra.
Snack: strawberries and cottage cheese
I needed it. My workouts have been terrible. The only thing I can think of is work stress and the fact that i’d added gluten back in to my diet. I am going to limit it as much as possible, but I have to eat it if i’m going to be tested for it (hopefully sooner than later). My new Dr appt isn’t until May 18 and they said no tests that day. Darn.
