More dietary changes

Over the past week, I've been feeling like crap. I can tell I'm swinging hypo (my thyroid levels) and it's not fun. All I've wanted to do during the day is sleep and I can't because it'd blow any chance I have of sleeping at night... which I haven't really been doing. (All of this = cranky Heather!) The sleep is only one part of it.

Either way, with all of the reading I've been doing lately, we're going to give grain-free, gluten-free a try. I'm going to try to stick with it for 30 days and see how it goes. Not 100% Paleo because I'm not going dairy & sugar free, so more like the carb-sensitive plan described in the last post. We've cut our sugars down to maple syrup (the real stuff, yum!) and honey and I don't really feel the need to cut it out completely - at least not yet.

I've learned that grains & pastas are doing a number on my body. I'm up usually about 2 lbs after a carb-heavy meal. I can't keep doing that! I fight to maintain and fight even harder to lose weight. So, time to eliminate something I know causes me to have issues with weight. This should be an interesting next 30 days...

On another note: We did our 7 mile training run yesterday! Went ok. We were both a little cranky and didn't really feel like doing the run, so that didn't really help anything at all. Each time we took our Island Boosts, we felt great. I always love it when a nutritional product does what it says it's going to!
