Monday, May 7 2007 - BFL Week 7 Day 2

View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day

Okay, I'm finally feeling back to normal. My stomach is better for the first time in almost a week and I actually had an appetite today. My weight was down to 146.4 which is great, but my body probably wasn't absorbing anything this past week. But I can tell a difference in my body. My pants fit about the same but my tummy looks flatter to me. I want to keep it that way. :)

I just can't figure out what's going on with my family and our stomachs. At first I thought it was the stomach flu, then I thought it was gluten. Now I just don't know. My older son, who also has celiac had "D" twice today severely. So I thought, okay, he got gluten somehow. Where are we getting gluten from?
Then my MIL called and said she couldn't watch the kids tonight (I had class) because she was vomiting and had D severely. I heard about this nasty stomach bug going around where you can't leave the bathroom for 2 days. Sounds like that's what she has. But if we had the bug too, it didn't affect us that way. The baby vomited once last week, but it wasn't even severe.
So again, I can't figure out if it's stomach flu or gluten. This is so frustrating.
My older son has been so out of it for several days now that we suspected he was getting sick. When some people get glutened, they get very spaced out. :huh:

Okay, enough of that mystery. I did spin class today and later did a 20 min. Winsor Pilates video. I am planning to get up early in the morning to do my BFL upper body workout for the first time. I'm nervous about it and I don't know why when I did this before a few years ago. But that was in a gym.
Really, I would rather continue with what I've been doing, but I haven't been seeing results. I was doing Body Pump and Ripped videos (which are also Body Pump, basically). I think I just wasn't doing enough weight.
I think I just figured out why I'm dreading it. The videos and classes had someone telling me what to do. And I knew exactly how long it would take and I had someone to watch. This is all on my own with just the book and stuff. It will be fine, it's just more work and planning. And I feel like I'm more alone, if that makes sense.
Well, I'm going to try it for the last part of this challenge and see what I think. If I hate it, I'll just go back to what I was doing before and tweak it.

I have nothing at all planned for the whole day tomorrow :) exept grocery shopping :cry2: I hate grocery shopping with kids!
Oh, well. At least we don't have tons of errands to run. I love open days like that. :y:
