gluten free

so I posted the other day I'm going to try gluten free for my psoriasis. after a recent strep infection and round of antibiotics my psoriasis has flared up big time. coming back in places it has not been in over a year. itchy and my feet ache and my hands hurt with what should be simple tasks such as using tongs while grilling out.

I told myself I'd start for really real on 8/1 but I really started and have stuck to it since about a week ago. at first I thought o was noticing improvement already, and I was excited but i have new areas today and I am itchier than ever! ugh! I've also been an emotional wreck, ugly crying at least 3x in the past week (it's also PMS week but I'm not normally such a cry baby)

so I'm not sure what's going on but I'm going to stick it out for at least 30 days. I read it can take 60 so if I see ANY improvement in 30 I'll likely keep going.

I am also looking into other things that will help my gut health, since antibiotics caused yeastie things to happen in my girly parts I'm thinking that's going on inside my gut as well and causing this relapse.

well see. I hope to share some progress along the way and possibly help others as I've been searching and reading blogs myself for insight.

today was an off day for me so my eating was strange:

coffee from a coffee place with cream and sugar free syrup

gluten free chex mix I made (fall time recipe) yogurt bark I made and a black bean brownie (wondering now if maybe my oats are not gluten free?)

turkey meat with a slice of provolone

Turkey meatballs over "zoodles"

more yogurt bark

super itchy today and p has spread. oats used today and 2 days ago may not be gf. going to look into that more.

so far it has not been that hard. I did have to pay more attention at the store and google some things. I found gf soy sauce in wm but had to go to a health food store for gf hoisin sauce for a recipe this week.

I feel like if you stay away from boxed crap (read easy meals) it's not too rough besides pasta man... I love pasta!

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
