Health Kick ~ Day One

   So, because of my biopsy I've been back on gluten for the last two months, and you'd think it wouldn't be too hard to eat reasonably well. Ha! Wrong! I've eaten absolute garbage for almost two months straight. It might have been fun to eat whatever I want for awhile, but now, I'm done. I'm getting my results back sometime this week, and that will tell me how I'm going to be eating permanently, but for now, I'm on health kick. Here are my rules.

1. Limit empty carbs. So, little to no white bread and potato products.

2. Massively limit my dairy. I'm giving it a try, even though it's going to make my life miserable. I love cheese and yogurt. We'll see how I feel after a month, then we'll regroup.

3. Limit sugar intake. I'm not totally cutting out anything with sugar, but no sugary foods. If I sweeten something, I'm going to use honey.

4. Drink at least 3 quarts of water. I have never been good at drinking water, but I'm going to try to focus on doing it more.

5. More fruits and veggies. Anyway I can get some in, I'm going to endeavor to do it.


6. Train somehow a few times a week. Frankly, if I could just lie in bed and watch Youtube and Netflix all day, I might...and have. That's going to change. I want to strengthen my arms and core especially, so I'm starting out there. I've always admired people who are strong and flexible. Maybe one day I can be one of those people.



   Here we go!  I'm hoping I can stick to this for a solid month and work my way from there. Right now the plan is to check in each week and grade myself on my rules. Wish me luck.
