GF Update in Health Journey

So since July 13, I’ve been gluten free with the exception of one cookie. I didn’t even think, just started eating it. Sheesh.

My main goal has been to be gluten free. My sub goal, and not the focus has also been to keep my carbs at under 139 g, or less than 30% of my intake. It has been quite attainable for the most part. This keeps my sugar consumption in check but is not super restrictive. I can still have a piece of chocolate or a peach or a piece of GF toast in the AM with breakfast. I have lots of veggies. I have been drinking water like crazy because it’s been so darn hot out and I’ve been working outside a TON.

I’ve lost almost 9 lbs total, my joints are sloooowly feeling a little better each day, and this month’s period, while heavy, was less intense than normal. And there you have it, my basic “diet” goals are being achieved in some ways.
