Back in 2012 I tried to go Gluten Free for awhile, I’d say about 3 months? I did okay, until the move threw everything out of whack and I spiraled depression wise and went back to eating whatever.

With that I gained back more weight than I’d ever lost, and am now at my heaviest.

My goal for 2012 includes working out more (and by that I mean daily) and starting to eat better.

As of today I started to go back to gluten free and see if I can’t fix some of my other issues with my mood and weight in general. I  have no idea really how I blew up to be the size that I am (18/20) but I know it’s not just magically that it happened. It happened due to not moving as much anymore, and eating horridly.

My goal for the first week of 2012 included doing 10 songs on DDR every day for the first 7 days, I did that and more as I ended up doing 20 songs on my final day.

Today is day 8 of the year and I am sitting at 6 songs right now, my goal for this week is to do 12 songs a day for the week.. and my final goal will be 15 a day which I start next week. On top of that I haven’t had any gluten at all today, which is strange to be watching everything I eat again.

I went and bought some of my favorite gluten free things, pasta, sauces, pizza crust, pancake mix that I love, etc. I’m glad I still have gluten free cookie and brownie mix… because sometimes I’ll want a little treat yanno?

Right now I hope to get back down to a size 10/12, and I was happy at that point. It took me months to do and right now it’s hard not to be bummed that working out for a week didn’t show me a ton of results. But I expect miracles sometimes where there are none to be had and I really need to get out of that mindset. It took me 9 months to gain all this weight back, it’s not going to take me a week to get it all off. It’ll likely take longer than that nine months even. But I will manage and it will be fine.

So, anyone know any good gluten free recipes for someone who doesn’t like to cook a ton? *hides* yes I know that’s terrible, but I do need to remember to eat. I may just need to force myself to eat lots of fruits and veggies again. That will probably help.

This time, I’m not sure if the kids will be going gluten free with me. I have no problem with them eating whatever they want to eat that I bring into the house, but I don’t want them to feel confined by my choices, you know?

Anyway, hopefully this year I can get on, and stay on a track to getting healthy again. I’ve managed a week, so I know at least I CAN to it… even if working out is really painful, and I can’t do any songs with jumps because it kills my knee and hip. I can at least do something to get up and move.. however slowly towards my goals to be healthier.

I think that’s for now, have a good one!
