I have completed my first week of training and transformation!
I want to note a few significant changes this week: both in my habits and my health.
1. I have starting eating something every few hours. I stocked up on protein bars, water, fruit & veggies, skim milk, yogurt & berries, protein enriched granola & so on. I will eat about every 3 hours. It makes a big difference in how I feel all day. I have more energy. I don't get grouchy when I am feeling starved - because I just dont get to that point. Which also means that I don't make terrible food choices when I am hungry. This has always been a big problem for me. Very hungry=Big Mac. Very Hungry=Taco Bueno Muchacos. Etc, etc.
2. I had a visit with Dr. Ozzi earlier this week and there were a number of things discussed - you can see a short clip of the visit here (check out those arms with the blood pressure cuff...I will have to get this video done again when the arms get back in shape!):
The main thing that we discovered in my visit was that I may have a physical adversity and/or an allergy to Wheat and/or Gluten. Not cool. I love gluten. :) But, I am trying to get healthy so I am cutting it out as much as possible. I am already seeing RESULTS from this! It is crazy! I have had Excema on my hand for YEARS. It has cleared up significantly this week! Skin allergies can be associated with Gluten allergies.
3. I feel better and have more energy this week. I have been sore from my workouts on Monday & Friday but this is to be expected.
4. I have not seen any physical changes yet but I am sure we will see them soon!

I have heard a lot about the gluten allergy. My sister in law has recently been dx'd with the gluten allergy and since she has taken it out of her diet she says she feels like a new person. She thinks my hub has the same allergy, but it is going to take a lot of convincing for him to give up his bread and rice.....
Good luck..you look like you are off to a good start. I am beginning to be inspired.
This is just astonishing. You are putting your doctor visits ON LINE. This is awesome and amazing. And can I tell you? SO MOTIVATING. I am all over this....tomorrow is my first day. I am joining the "Shes loosing it" with you.
But man I love me some gluten too. I don't know if I could do that. But I a hand thing where my skin 'falls off' (so wish that was an exaggeration) so maybe I need to cut it out.
So EXCITED to be in on this whole journey with you!
Gluten allergies are so common now, and there is so much out there to accomodate you if that's what you find out you have.
dont fret!
i'm so proud of all the changes you are making!

I am a friend of Tracey Harper's and I found you through her. If you're eliminating gluten and would like to try some really good products, try the Amy's organic line. They're frozen products, and not all their products are gluten free, but I use them often and it's written on the front of the package if it's gluten free. FYI. If you're interested in more, just email me.
Wow. A possible gluten allergy. That is interesting. My eczema has popped back again. No fun.
Good luck with all your fitness goals. I'm inspired by your commitment and dedication.
