Day 1

So yesterday afternoon I had an appointment with Dr. B.  Matt calls him my Voodoo doctor but he really does applied kinesiology.  Anyway, bottom line is that I cannot eat wheat.  At all.  Ever!  It literally makes me sick.  I won't go into the gory details but it's not pretty.  So today was day one of Cheryl's wheat-free new life.  Unfortunately, our instructional coach at school brought in doughnuts to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week and it would have been rude to refuse.  Besides, she got the doughnuts from this amazing bakery.  I mean, I don't even LIKE doughnuts and I like their doughnuts.  And she had only one of my favorite.  It's a twisty, light, delicious puff covered in cinnamon sugar.  And we all know that cinnamon is good for you.  I said hello to my last doughnut ever.  Until later this afternoon when I went back and there was another twist but this one was covered in glaze.  Not my favorite, but what the heck.  I scarfed it down like I was going to the electric chair.  Did I learn my lesson?  Yes, because I have a terrible stomach ache at the moment.   Since tomorrow is a new day I am not going to obsess over this but move on.  Live and learn. 

From now on I have to be more aware of what I am shoving in my pie-hole.  I mean, did you know that there's wheat in Twizzler's?  I didn't until I read the label today.  And I put the two Kit Kats back that I was going to steal from another teacher's stash because I realized that they had wheat.  I'm hoping the 3 Musketeers and Milky Way bars I asked Matt to bring home don't have wheat in them because then I'll just really be depressed!   I am sure that I can live without cookies and cake, mostly.  Or brownies.  Not ice cream though.  I have to draw the line at ice cream.

When I got home yesterday I Googled wheat-free foods.  So this is the list: fruit, vegetables, meat, rice.  No seriously that's about it.  If I can't lose 20 pounds on this diet, then there is something wrong with me.  I'll be ready for a bikini in no time!  Well, considering I haven't worn a bikini in 20 years, I doubt I'll be rocking a bikini.  So I can rock a conservative tankini with the skirt on the bottom.  Whatever.  The point is I will feel better and look better.  So starting tomorrow NO MORE WHEAT!
