Yesterday's gain was just a blip (thankfully) after 2 dinners out & Sunday night's where I overate (it was too delicious & I was too hungry) too late. Isn't it funny how our minds play tricks on us, especially us with food issues, & how that darn number on the scale effects us. Until weighing yesterday, I did not feel any heavier, but after seeing a 2 lb gain on that damn scale, I could feel the gain for the rest of the day. Now that I am only weighing myself once/week (with the exception of allowing a followup if the # is up), it is freeing in a lot of ways... the most freeing though is to remember that its just a number, I am much more than that & how I'm eating and feeling are so much more important. And, I'm feeling great & eating well staying off sugar & wheat!
Day 2 adding back dairy. Yesterday, I had 2 servings of milk -- 1 at bfast & 1 at lunch. I noticed some nausea/stomach discontent after bfast, but much more after lunch... which I've duly noted in my scientific research log, i.e. some scrap of paper floating around somewhere:). Today, I'll try a serving of greek yogurt, so look for another report tomo. And, again I begin my day in prayer --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
And, I'll pray, breathe, log, post & express again for this one day, meal, moment, bite & emotion at a time. xoxox

Yes, it's hard seeing the scale go up. I was up a pound this morning and I know I was on plan yesterday and worked out an hour and a half. So it's water weight from something. I'm just going to keep going.

That's the trick, Suzi -- stay the course & good things will happen!

How long are you trying dairy before giving a yes or no on it?
|
My health coach (a friend who recently completed a course in it) said to do it for 3 days with 1-2 servings of dairy each day. I'm not sure if different types of dairy matter, but I only had a bit of stomach distress after greek yogurt for breakfast, which I didn't feel at all while I was playing tennis, but now that I'm more focused on it again, I can feel it & a slight headache?

I have the same problem when it comes to getting over-hungry and eating late dinners. And of course my husband thinks I'm absolutely nut when I eat before a dinner party. But we need to do what we need to do - right? BTW - for February I am cutting way back on dairy. I should cut it out completely but don't have your willpower!

Angel LabRuth ~ You're doing so well - glad it was just a blip. Sorry I missed your journal yesterday - crazy around here - but really enjoyed your reference to mindful eating. I'm still reading the book but that one article made such a difference on my approach toward food, especially satisfying cravings! Have a great Day! Bella

Buffy, cutting out dairy really hasn't been that tough with almond, coconut & soy milks and coconut milk greek yogurt. I would miss cottage cheese though, especially come spring & summer as I really enjoy it then in salads. Most other dairy products have non-dairy substitutes. Good luck! We'll have to trade lab results!

Bella, I downloaded the mindful eating book & am just starting it. After "mindlessly" eating Sunday night, you're post about it, couldn't have been timed more perfectly. Here's to our mindfullness, my friend!
