No More Excuses

I got diagnosed with a gluten allergy over christmas break

And I’ve done SUCH a good job with keeping gf since then. I’ve only cheated like, two or three times, and each time my stomach was so miserable that I don’t even crave gluten anymore.

But.

Every single person I talk to about going GF mentions weightloss with it. “The first month I did it I lost 20 pounds!” I heard from two different people.

I’ve been doing it for two months. And I haven’t lost a single pound. Yet another example of my body being broken. It doesn’t lose weight. It never has. Fuck my life.

Just purchased New Rules of Lifting for Women

I’m super excited. I’ve been lifting on my own for a bit but I’ve never followed a lifting program.

Anyone have any experience with it?

What are some people’s favorite exercises with them? I want to change up my routine.

NSV #1

I just realized that a year ago, I was at the point where I never thought I could lose weight.

I’d pretty much given up and realized I was destined to hate myself forever.

Now I’ve begun the process of loving myself and getting healthy.

Sometimes I need to appreciate the mindset changes as much as the physical ones.

No because I can pronounce High Fructose Corn Syrup but I don’t want to eat that.

Generalizations aren’t the way to live your life.

So I have Lyme Disease

Just got diagnosed, and I’m on antibiotics and stuff.

But for the next month basically I will be feeling terrible, not able to eat much or workout at all.

I’m so frustrated, because I’ve been totally on track this summer- started at 130ish and now I’m at 123, and yeah it’s slow but that’s the rate I wanted.

But now I have to break the habits that I worked really, really hard to get into just because of a stupid tick that stupidly bit me and ugh.

Any advice of like, lyme disease/general sickness friendly active activities?
