If I Dream It...

I've made it! 2 whole weeks... no gluten! I can't say I notice much of a difference - granted, it was only 2 weeks. My weight didn't change, however I did lose a half inch on my waist.

Just fruits and veggies that I don't do anything with are rather boring all in all. So they just don't make the cut. And that's really all I've been up to. Day 11 was fruits and veggies at work. A burrito bowl (no tortilla) at lunch from Chipotle as I was running around at lunch and had to have food. And a plain baked potato for dinner since we were still running around. Day 12 was an egg and peach for breakfast - spaced by my drive in so they didn't seem as odd a combo as they sound :) Sadly I skipped lunch as things were just too crazy and I didn't want to be late. I munched at my desk of the few gluten free things I had with me (a few of the apricot coconut and cranberry cherry nut balls) and some dry gluten free cereal. For dinner we went out to a Mexican restaurant that offer...
