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!

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...
