stupid, stupid
Monday, February 5th 2007
I made 2 stupid choices so far today-not that I'm going to beat myself up about them. But I'm going to vent about it and then forgive myself. The first was when I was grocery shopping and they were giving out samples of Bush's chili. I had some and didn't even think about whether or not it had gluten until I went to buy it and checked the label. Sure, enough. Wheat starch. It was only about an eighth of a cup, but my stomach is gurgling and getting bloated. I'll be more careful next time....A new scale

Okay, I weighed myself twice this morning-one right after the other and got 2 different numbers. So I went and bought a new scale. Not to be obsessed or anything! But my son broke the cover on this one and my husband "fixed" it. So it may not be accurate. The new one is digital. Check-in is tomorrow.Today was okay.

Today wasn't so great either though. I was careful during the day. When we went to the car show, I brought a protein bar and an orange, and then had some kettle corn that we bought. But then we were at my in-laws tonight and I was so hungry. Being on the gluten-free diet, I could only eat a limite...Gluten Free Oats!!!

I ordered gluten-free oats on the internet and my order came yesterday. So this morning I had oatmeal for breakfast. It was so wonderful. I love oatmeal and tastes even better than I remember. I just made it too sweet by adding too much brown sugar. I haven't had oatmeal since this summer, which I know isn't nearly as long as many celiacs who have gone for years without them.So tonight I made oatmeal cookies. The problem is the best part of making oatmeal cookies for me is the dough. ...

I haven't been keeping up with my blog-I got off track when I went out of town. But now that I've been inspired by Ashli's blog
my goal is to keep up with it each evening. I'm organizing my life into routines to help me become more efficient (otherwise, I feel like I get nothing done). I'm giving myself 20 minutes as part of my evening routine to do computer tasks, inclucing updating my food log, writing in my blog and catching up on email. I put those things off sometimes because I'm afra...
