Been a while...

Hey guys! It's been a while... a long while! I am doing great, lost about 15 lbs... I'm not totally gluten free but I'd say I am at about 90% gluten free! I have more energy, and I feel a whole lot better! I'm going to try to update my blog with some recipes that I enjoy and try to keep up with this more often! Have a wonderful week everyone!!

Oops..

So I slipped up yesterday, it was a long day and I was too tired and lazy so I ordered a pizza because it was the quickest thing and I was starving.. This morning I woke up with one of the most terrible migraines I have ever had, not to mention it's the 3rd one I've ever woken up with in my life where I didn't have it when I went to bed... coincidence? I don't know.. I guess I'll have to eat wheat/gluten some other times to see if it happens again but for now I'd like to avoid that pain! Back on schedule now.. feel terrible for slipping up. Definitely need a quick backup food for times like yesterday. :(

Week 2!

Week 2!

I have made it to week 2!! I lost 3 lbs in my first week :) Makes me happy! Anyways... I've just been trying to figure out new foods to eat and new recipes. Believe it or not its tougher to stay on a good schedule when I'm off of work! The days I work, I eat at the same times and I can better control myself! I'm happy to have made it to week 2 and I'm looking forward to another successful week! Stick with me!!

Day 6!

Day 6!

Day 6.. wow! Doing great, feeling great with the exception of being tired.. but that's not the gluten/wheat free diet.. that's the 9 wk old handsome baby boy of mine! I sure could use a good energy boost though! Still need ideas for quick snacks.. on the go snacks (especially since my 3 day weekend begins tomorrow and I'll be out and about). Last night I made a tasty chicken vegetable soup with rice and a little bit of gluten and wheat free spiral pasta. Came out good.. wish I could eat soup all year but I just can't with the Texas heat! So far this transition has been easier than expected. I hope it stays this way! - Kassie

Veggie omelet!

Had a delicious veggie omelet this morning! This is much easier than I anticipated. I haven't had any crazy cravings and I have learned to eat new foods and actually like them! It's a major accomplishment for me!

Day 5!

Day 5!

My husband made this amazing tasting lunch in our tangine! Chicken, clams, Pearl onions and other veggies with the perfect combination of herbs and spices in white wine! Delicious!

Day 4!

Day 4!

Today has been great. Woke up, had scrambled eggs with some bacon. Hit the gym and came back home and worked. It's tougher making meals as I'm working but I managed to make some grilled chicken with quinoa for lunch and I'm having a late dinner now which will be grilled shrimp with vegetables (thank my hubby for cooking dinner tonight!!) Does anyone know some quick easy lunch meals? Something that I can either make quickly or make ahead of time and store easily? Tips would help!! -Kassie
