Weightloss:
Still losing weight. I haven't changed my eating habits since cutting milk and bread. I love milk, but I'm not a kid anymore. Milk was making me fat and sick. I love bread, but it was also making me fat and sick. Turn sideways and I could see my wheat-belly in the mirror; I'm thankful it's nearly gone. Processed foods, boxed, canned and frozen, were also making me sick--too much salt, raising my blood pressure. Too many unhealthy ingredients such as soy, canola, HFCS and beet sugar. I'm off the BP meds, now. Happy about that.
I try to keep in mind, this is not a "diet." The changes I make are changes for life. I also try to be realistic. Sometimes I do have bread. A slice of toast with my egg or oatmeal in the morning. A few days ago I had a banana milkshake, consisting of almond milk, Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream and a banana. I paid for it the next day in the bathroom, but it was worth it. :)
Exercise and Fibromyalgia:
They don't mix well. From what my doctors have told me, they will never mix well, and that's just the way it is, but don't give up.
*Almost forgot to note, I am drinking about a cup of almond milk a day, where I wasn't before.
