Mmm...Food

So I hit my calorie range of 1200-1400 calories a day and ate some yummy eats in the process. :)

Starting today I'm also attempting to go Gluten Free/Wheat Free for a week to see if that helps at all. I've never tested positive for Celiac disease but apparently the test can often test as a false negative. So I was told to try the diet and see what happens!

Unfortuately it's REALLY difficult to find things that are not only dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, bean-free, carageenan-free (which I always have to do) and are go gluten free on top of that!
But I accomplished my first day of it! Yay! (Let's see how long it lasts!!)

I attempted to make Macaroni and Chreeze for dinner which is a brown rice pasta with a sauce that mimics cheese but is gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free. What is it? Something called nutritional yeast.

Umm...YUCK. 

Let's just say I saved the noodles and tossed the Chreeze! Hey, try everything once right? (Or if you're forgetful like me, try everything 9 times and hopefully you'll remember before the 10th time that something really doesn't taste good!! Haha!)

AAAAHHHHH!

To say that I'm dissappointed would be an understatement. I'm upset. I'm angry. I'm fed up. 

I weighed in.

220

[up from 212.5]

I gained 7.5 lbs this week.

I don't know what to do!

Here's a peek into my exercising schedule during the week.

Monday [3 1/2 hours]

9-10-boot camp

10:30-12-modern dance

6-7-boot camp

Tuesday

None

Wednesday [3 1/2 hours]

9-10-boot camp

10:30-12-modern dance

6-7-boot camp

Thursday

None

Friday[2 hours]

9-10-boot camp

6-7-boot camp

Saturday [1 hour]

8-9-boot camp

Sunday [1 hour]

8-9-boot camp

That's 11 hours a week!!

I don't know about you but I think that's a lot! 

I can tell I'm getting stronger but I'm also gaining weight.

The doctors have NO ideas, NO answers.

I just started a thyroid medication on Monday. 

Hopefully that'll help.

Other than that?

I'm looking into Gluten Free. 

(Though the minute a product says Gluten Free, 99% of the time they've added soy which I'm allergic to.)

I've gained 22.5 lbs in 4 weeks. 

It makes no sense!

I don't know what to do.

So I'm going to keep on going.

No letting it get me down or stop me. 

There are 7 weeks left. 

I'm looking those skinny jeans in the buttons.

I WILL go from Flab to Fab!

I think I may have to start posting EVERYTHING I eat on here so I can see if there's something different I can be doing food wise.

What do you do when you're having a rough weigh in?

Any words of wisdom?

Flab to Fab - Day 3 - Exercise (Ouch.)

The ropes. 

Ohhhh, the ropes. 

I had to fling them, slam them, make circles with them, make waves with them.

Stare at them.

Ouch.

And the jump roping, push ups, sit ups, kettle crunches, squats, and pull ups.

Though for me, personally it's hard to compete with Sir Kettlebell.

Sir 18 LB Kettlebell who seems to seek to make me sore.

We've got a *cough* interesting relationship.

On my first day with Sir Kettlebell, I did over 225 reps. 

Since then, we've not been the best of friends...or even on the best of terms.

On the first day I couldn't do five in a row without stopping. 

But now, two weeks later, I'm up to 10-20 at a time.

(20 straight to start with, and 5 or 10 without stopping by the end of the reps...)

One day, we will enjoy a day together without me wincing. 

But for now, I don't think today is the day.

I doubt tomorrow will be either...

Flab to Fab - Week One - Foood

Two words. 

Yum! and Hungry!

I'm a foodie who LOVES food. 

Carbs, fruit, sugar, vegetables, salt? 

I love it all.

My body is not one to hold the idea of full.

I can eat until I'm stuffed and then be hungry again 5 minutes later. 

Has your kitchen ever talked to you?

"You're upset, come eat!"

"You're happy, come eat!"

"It's time to celebrate, let's eat!"

"You just worked out, let's eat!"

And the one with the loudest voice..

"You're bored, come eat!"

I don't know about you but mine sure has!!

Now really, why is the kitchen out to bring me down and my weight up? 

I'm sweet to it, stocking with fruits, vegetables, fresh bread.

LOADS of yummy HEALTHY stuff!

I think we may need to redefine this relationship we've got going here...

From Flab to FAB,

Krissy

Flab to Fab- Day 1 [which will now start as soon I hit the post button]

So I started my first day out by eating three, pink, strawberry marshmallows.


Then I realized that this is no longer just me.


There's 8 of us.....And they want to win too.


Oops.


I guess I'm starting NOW!


After those yummy pink balls of fluff, [Of which I don't care to know the ingredients of..] I ate:


-A bowl of maple and brown sugar Oatmeal.
-A Banana
-A cup of Honey Water


It was at this point that I realized why I'm fat.


So for the next 8 weeks, I'm going to be going against the grain [against the white, starchy, grain that is!] and attempt to healthify my life.


Here goes!
