Let me start off by saying that gluten is bad for you. You should not be eating anything that contains aforementioned gut irritant. "What?!" I hear you call wildly into the night. "But 'everyone' recommends hearty whole wheat bread for a healthy diet," you say. Sorry to tell you this: 'everyone' is wrong. Gluten is not just something you cut out if you want to lose weight, but if you want to stay away from many diseases and health issues as well. Fo realz! I never realized how our daily lives are so in-freaking-credibly affected by what we put into our mouths.
I shall now tell you a little tale about me and my rendezvous with pumpernickel bread. Oh, sweet, sweet pumpernickel. It came crashing into my life a few weeks ago via my mother who "needed to get it out of the house." All that was within me cried, "No! Away with thee Satan!" Yet, I took it back to the solitude of my house where I could be alone with said bread. Before the bread could look sideways, I had eaten two slices lavished with butter. It tasted so good, yet I knew that regret was just around the corner.
Fast forward 20 minutes to me laying on the bed with a nauseous gleam on my face and a twisted up tummy. 6 weeks of no gluten and then suddenly loads of it=bad. Like, bad bad. The same thing happened to me this last weekend as I decided to partake in 3 chicken strips. Not as bad as my affair with the pumpernickel, but it still had the same, "blluugghhh" effect.

And now! More fat Lindsey pictures! It has been 7 weeks since the start of "The Journey to Minimize Self-Loathing". Scale isn't moving much and, as a side note, I'd like to take a chain saw to its ass.

Why hello Waist! I haven't seen you in a while! Welcome back to being part of my body! Once Love Handles leaves town, I am sure Waist and I will be getting together with New Jeans.
So, my fat pictures lead me to my next aspiration; running a 1/2 marathon. My attractively athletic husband ran the Mount Lemmon Marathon last week. It inspired me. Surely if he could run up an entire mountain, I could run a half marathon going mostly downhill. Right? Well, we will find out. It is on my Life To Do List; may as well get it over with now. You know, besides the fact that it is something that I want to do.
P to the 'eace' to the out!
You look AMAZING!! Good work!! Too bad gluten tastes so good.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Lindsey! I too would like to run a half marathon some day and almost signed up for the mountain one then thought twice. This all spurred by a successful 5k last March though I still don't like running.
ReplyDeleteYOU LOOK FABULOUS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing and, no pressure, but I am going to use you for my inspiration. After having Shyla in May 2009 (and gaining 65 pounds with her) I lost 45 pretty quickly. I have been stuck with those last 20 (mostly sitting right on my gut) for OVER A YEAR!
ReplyDeleteI ran the Mt. Lemmon half-marathon too! It took my 3 hours and 10 minutes but I finished! I run on Saturday mornings with friends if you would ever like to join us. I am in training for the Vegas Half in December, which I did last year, and I'm doing the Tucson relay in December.
I love your blog!
