I'm trying to teach my taste buds to like grapefruit. This is going to take awhile. It is so bitter! I'm following the guidelines in the LEAP report on how to train your body to like new foods.
I woke up with less of a stuffy nose this morning but I still have a headache. I also am having an allergic reaction to one of my shower products as half of my face turned bright red again, hot to the touch and is now very sensitive. I think it may be my body wash. Luckily it fades within an hour. Unluckily my skin is still sensitive and irritated.
I forgot to bring food for lunch so I had to make do with what was upstairs. The lady behind the counter was really friendly and helped me get some peanut butter that I mixed with a side of brown rice and pineapple. It was surprisingly good.
I created a Gluten-free, Casein-free, Soy Free (GFCFSF) group. Hopefully it becomes a knowledge base for dealing with such a restricted diet.

Day two is almost over and I have to admit that I feel better, even with the lack of sleep work caused me. Yesterday I started a new diet. I am working with a nutritionist and blood results found sensitivities to many items but mainly soy, dairy, and gluten. Being vegan, I am sure you can imagine how these extra limitations were a bit much to grapple with. I know I can do this.
Over the weekend, knowing that I was going to be very restricted starting the following Monday, I ate whatever I wanted. I ate almost everything on my bad list. What a mistake. I can't remember the last time I was this miserable. Headaches, a migraine, nauseated, no energy, desire to sleep high, and even a weird allergic reaction that caused the lower part of my face to turn bright red and was very hot to the touch.
After that experience, which pretty much validated my test results, I jumped quickly into my new diet. In one day I lost 3 lbs. My nutrionist says it is water weight from inflammation and I believe her. Either way, I feel thinner, my headache isn't as bad today, and the little I've ate has made me content.
If I'm going to do this long term though, I need to get organized. I threw out all the old food in my fridge and pantry and I filled it with my new choices. Our fridge is a lot more empty. I'll miss you soy puddings. Right now I have quinoa in the rice cooker as that will make throwing together a dinner tomorrow much easier. It will also be more fulfilling.
Hopefully starting next week I can get back to the gym and start writing down all of the food I'm eating. I'm going to try this week but no promises.

I am trying not to lose confidence but it is pretty hard. After a perfect day yesterday working out and eating right (with a 700 calorie deficit), I went up .2 lbs. Now, I know that expecting any sort of positive result after only one day is ludicrous but 6 months ago it wasn't. 6 months ago that was all it took. 6 months ago I fixed what I was doing and immediately saw results. Now all of a sudden my body is "confused".
I am going to keep holding on to the idea that all of a sudden all of the weight is just going to drop. That all of a sudden my body will "get it" and I'll drop five pounds. Hopefully this doesn't take six months for my body to get it. Actually, hopefully I'm pregnant again in six months and much to happy about that to worry about the fact that I'm starting off pregnant at a weight I didn't want to be at.
I wish that one aspect of my life wasn't stressful... My health, my work, my home life... Just one of them could feel like a success.
