So, I am a little late posting this month. Or really late. The truth is, I don't feel like I have lost any weight or that any of my measurements are smaller in the slightest amount. So, I will not be posting them this month.
I am not disappointed with myself though. I may not have seen any physical results, but I have been more successful with my main goal. I have been very careful about the milk in my diet. It's still not completely gone, but with my next goal, it will be.
I feel like I am still allergic to something... My skin is itchy, my hair is falling out quicker than normal, my eyes are irritated, my nose, ears and throat are bugging me, and I'm very twitchy. Time for me to find the allergen(s).
I have found some yummy non-dairy products that are not full of soy. (I am avoiding soy due to the estrogen found in it.) Almond milk... good on cereal, in smoothies, but can only drink a glass of it if it's chocolate flavoured. Almond yogurt... delicious but kind of expensive, so it is only a treat. Coconut ice cream... It's not exactly the same as ice cream, but I still like it. It is very expensive, so I will not buy it often. Not all stores carry these items, so I have to go to a grocery store that carries a good selection of organic foods and health food items. I was told to be careful when buying this stuff, to read the labels still. Some of theses 'health foods' still have crap in them.
My New Goal
My new goal will definitely take the remaining milk products out of my diet. I am slowly going to take all sugar and starch out of my diet for a little while. I'll call it a cleanse. During this cleanse, I will only eat vegetables and meat. But, in order to make sure my body doesn't spaz out on me, and crave everything, and send me into fits of illness, I will take the sugar and starch out slowly. And yes, I am receiving help with this from a friend. I guess you could say we are helping each other. She is helping me get a healthy body, I am helping her get good grades in school. I hope she will still help me when she's finished with her project... LoL.
Wish me luck. I am going to take my time with new goal, but not too much time. I have a life to live, and I am not going to stop living it. I am going to start living it better with a healthier and more fit self. No more procrastinating! Just get it done! There's a better me hiding inside this current body!
