Someone glue me to a treadmill, please! I have hit an all time high, unless you count during the later months of my pregnancy with Rylee. The scale hit 190 :( I am back down a few pounds yesterday according to the doctors scale and a few more this morning according to mine.
I have been travelling a LOT and cheating on my GF diet (which has it's own separate ramifications) and I swear the servers at my local Chevy's probably know my name. UGH NO WILLPOWER!!! I need to get this figured out. I have had all my tests done, including thyroid, which is fine. The only other things to be tested are my female hormones which the doctor won't do as of yet. I have officially gone off my BC in an attempt to get pregnant so if I start having issues in that area, she will likely test them. I haven't been to the gym in months unless you count going in there to pay my bill. I have been working a lot (not including the full weeks of travel) and we have just been so busy. I cannot wait until next week. The 5th is the last day of school for Rylee. At that point she will be splitting time with me and her dad, spending time at grandma's during the day, during my weeks. That will allow me to get into work earlier and off in time to go to the gym versus working late, dinner, homework and bed. Then we will only have swim lessons and maybe gymnastics.
I have been sleeping like CRAP lately. Last night, I went to be at a little after 8, TV off, and just laid there until after 10. I don't know if this is also a result of the gluten being reintroduced to my diet. My hair is dry, brittle and cracking again and I have started getting nasty bruises again when the injury isn't even enough to register on my pain scale. It's strange having huge BLACK bruises and have no idea how they got there. I think I am going to cut out all grain again... sad face. But if it's what I have to do to lose a little weight and motivate me to get back in the gym... I guess that's what I have to do. I am terrified that I will end up being 250 lbs and miserable with my next pregnancy. I gained 60 lbs with Rylee (220 when I checked in to deliver) and was in constant pain from my sciatica and stretching ligaments. I need to be in a place that I can continue to exercise throughout. I am severely jealous of two of my friends, one who has had 2 kids in less than 3 years and looks great after 9 months the other who the birth of her first took her back to her pre-pregnancy weight - and I'm not even pregnant yet!!!
I have been a little more careful the last few days and hopefully I will be able to keep it up. I don't like this insomnia thing: can't fall asleep, awake at 3, then miserable at 4:30 or 5 when I actually have to get up.
Cross your fingers for me guys... I can use all the help I can get. Have a good day everyone!!!

The 5th is our last day of school too - I can't wait! As for the gluten - did you get diagnosed with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease? Otherwise I think it can be harmful to cut out gluten if you don't have a medical reason to do so.. anyway - just my two cents... Those bruises would freak me out, I had a friend that got unexplained bruises when she was in high school but I don't know that they ever figured out why... hmm.... Hope you get some good sleep soon..

Sounds like you've been super busy. Maybe if you can find one of those DVD's that is only 10 min workouts you could do one of those in the evening or early morning and at least you'd have something done and feel a little better. Maybe the stress is part of the not sleeping. You're stressing because you've gained, stressing because of the trying to get pregnant and the gain that will come with that, stressing because of how much you're working, stressing about not exercising, stress, stress, stress. Take a deep breath and realize that you don't have control over everything, but you can control some things. Try to take control of your eating, and if you haven't been diagnosed with something that requires you to eat gluten free, maybe you should just focus more on RDI and portions rather than cutting things completely out. And, if you're trying to get pregnant the healthy eating will help along the way anyway. I hope you get some sleep and can de-stress a little bit once the little munchkin is out of school. Good luck!!

Have you read the book Grain Brain? I just finished a 4 day quick road trip down to Florida and back to Ohio! It has proven EVERYTHING I have always suspected! I am 54 have three amazing grown children and I am 64 pounds heavier than I know I should be. Today I am thoroughly going through my cupboards and pantry and eliminating ALL gluten and high carb anything! You can do this, you can download the book @ Amazon.

Thanks for the support ladies! My doctor is a fan of the elimination method so she won't test me for food allergies... feels that they aren't correct or consistent most of the time. I found a doctor last year that would test me for food allergies and I was really excited but unfortunately I had to cancel the appointment and will not be making another. This doctor was on Dr. Oz and specializes in getting people back on track from hormone or allergy related issues. He's a CROCK! If you are married, you must attend your appointments with your spouse present, not because he is doing anything that requires you to have a companion with you but I believe it is so he can be sure everyone is on board with the monetary expenses related to the program, kind of like the Juice Plus thing Jess was talking about. My husband got his job just before I was to have my appointment and I was told they would not see me. Screw them! I did really good the last year with no gluten. And yes, I cheated here and there and probably will occasionally. I am a big sushi eater and most of that stuff has hidden gluten in it. The biggest thing for me is the bruising and the brittle hair. Those are things that both went away when I stopped and came back after a binge of about 3 weeks of eating gluten again. I am still getting my carbs, I eat fruits and veggies, just don't need the grains. I haven't decided if I am counting potato or not, I will probably eat them in small doses. Honestly, I would totally go paleo if I could give up the dairy... but I can't lol. I will have to check out that Grain Brain book, just for the heck of it, thanks Wendy!
