It's been a few weeks and I missed a weigh in. I dropped down to 135.2 a few weeks ago but didn't want to enter it until I knew it was a true number and that I could maintain it.
I made a few mistakes...
1. I stopped tracking
2. Ate Mexican Taco Salad Shells 2 times in one week!
3. Ate a Pumpernickel Bagel and it clogged up my intestines
This lethal combination of tom foolery led me to gain 4 lbs in 2 weeks!
I'm back to tracking just this week alone and focusing wholly on intestinal health. I have been eating yogurt with my oatmeal. Having a whole bag of steamed veggies or beans and salad for lunch every day. Eating at least 2 bags of 100 calorie popcorn a day for more fiber and making sure I intake at least 3 servings of fruits and kefir later in the day. (usually I mix a cup of blueberries, 1 medium apple, 1 medium banana with 1 cup of vanilla coconut kefir). I have stuck true to this all week and lost the four pounds I gained.
I am eliminating sugar and wheat from my diet. Replacing them with agave and stevia and corn / rice based products. I am learning that my endocrine system doesn't like specific foods. I can tell from my bowel health and the white coating on my tongue at times.
From just looking at my Diet Calendar - one would think I am crazy to eat 50 grams of fiber a day and would think that I am gassy and ill, but I am not. This is the sign of a healthy digestive system. If your body is creating gas when you try to clean your intestines - then you have something blocking. Could be too much white flour that is fermenting and gunking up your intestines. Or perhaps a yeast infection in your intestines that is blocking the absorption of nutritients and the bodies ability to process fibrous foods. For every cause there is an effect.
Going forward, I'm going to keep tracking. My next weight milestone is set at 127. I'll then take another break and let my metabolism catch up and adjust.
