ok, so it's been quite a while since I've been gluten and soy free. Well...soy is a bit harder to avoid, as I have found that it's in nearly everything. I was addicted to gum, and now i MIGHT have 1 piece every two days, and it's a specialty gum I found at World Market, no soy lecithin! that's pretty good when I was chewing about a pack a day! Everyone was teasing me that with my pack-a-day habit, i could make even the most dedicated smokers out there, proud! you know me! I like to do my part!
So, how do I feel now that i'm strictly consuming fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs and non-processed meat, only? well, I hate to sound cliche, but I feel like a new woman! I don't have digestive issues like before. I notice a marked improvement in my health. Not that I ate alot of processed foods, but I did like certain things, like low-carb tortillas! Now, I refuse to touch anything that's been processed or contains more than 8-10 ingredients. It's not hard to do. I even found that there's a whole variety of snack foods that are natural and wholesome, like rice puffed white cheddar snacks...tastes like cheese puffs, only natural!
ok, that's the boring stuff! on the good side, i'm DECORATING THE HOUSE FOR AUTUMN! Soon everywhere you look will be bathed in beautiful fall colors, and the cool mornings will begin to take hold! I'm excited!
what are you up to? shall I go and scribble on your journal and bring smiles to your faces? OK! DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!!

I like the number 8-10 as a check on processed foods. I am going to check my own. Thanks.

Oh Sister, I am SO HAPPY that you have discovered what you have to do to feel like a "new woman". That had to have been difficult. But no low carb tortillas?!! Wow! How do you find the types of food you need to eat (besides the fresh fruits and veggies)? Do you have to shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for your food? Fall is my absolute FAVORITE time of year. Must get my Fall decorations out too. Love ya! :-)

Hi girly!!! I've missed you! (guess that's my fault, isn't it???) so, no low-carb tortillas??? I thought you might give those up...you were always ranting and raving about em...i'm not sure i have that kind of willpower. but i have to say, many years ago i went gluten and dairy free for almost a year...and i was probably in the best health i've ever been in....so there definitely is something to say about that stuff....(it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that i was 25 years younger than i am now.....)! you are still my hero!
