Since my life consists of nothing new and/or exciting except for food sensitivities, food sensitivities and more food sensitivities I have another post almost completely full of food sensitivities….. ;-)
Yes…. That’d be me eating my SoBe LifeWater at 10:30am this morning.
So, I’ve been eating gluten/dairy free including some other random foods like apricots, pistachios, and potatoes for two days and the synopsis is I’M HUNGRY!! My meals are pretty sad since I haven’t gotten all creative on the food front yet and when it comes to snacks I have zero options that sound exciting except for fruit. I’m hungry like 178% of the day!
Luckily I found a great tool to aid in this Contraband Food Experience. In Target I found Fitbook. A great nutrition/fitness tracker that lasts exactly 12 weeks (perfect) and will allow me to track my food and how I feel when and after I eat it. It also has a whole section for fitness so I can track my fitness levels and how my tummy reacts to it. Total SCORE!
Today we started printing the BIGGER pieces for the artist down in LA. They take twice as long and make me go insane twice as much. Luckily I have a million more minutes to play Bubble Bust on my iPhone since I’m stuck on level 33 and can’t pop my bubbles fast enough to make it to 34.
I feel like this blog has been slightly off since before my Hiatus and I’m sorry for that. I definitely don’t like it at all. But I haven’t been my completely happy, slurpee dancing self. Too much stress on food and limitations. I think anyone being deprived of yogurt, peanut butter, and cookies would be a little grouchy…… Right?
In terms of the Food Sensitivities and how I’m feeling…. I can’t tell a difference yet. But I’m still detoxing off all the things that make my tummy sad. They won’t be completely out of my system until Friday so I have to hold out to hopefully start feeling better.
I was itching to workout today…. I actually put on my fire bolt pants, black Nikes and my sports bra and watched my workout DVD on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn. It’s not exactly like participating in the workout but I think I got some second hand endorphins.
Look at my new toy! It’s waterproof for carrying it on sweaty races, shock proof for dropping it during said races because my hands get sweaty and it slips out, and cold proof so it can withstand making snow angels at Christmas. :-D
….. Because I really really REALLY like making show angels.
How was your Tuesday? What was the best/most exciting thing that happened?
If you could be on a desert island with one celebrity who would it be?
I’d pick Johnny Depp because, let’s face it we’ve all seen the first Pirates of the Caribbean and we know what Johnny’s like on the island…………….
Do you like colored electronics?
I do…. I have a blue camera and computer. Matching is essential!
Favorite fall accessory?
My Longchamp Large Tote in black! LOVE.

Thank you so much for sharing your digestive issues and food sensitivities! I struggle with digestive issues as well (gastroparesis, IBS) and have been gluten-free for a year, which has helped some. However, back my issues are – so off to the doctor I go tomorrow. It’s refreshing to know I’m not the only one with these issues!!! I hope you get things figured out – and find out a way to not be hungry all the time :)
Thanks for stopping by Megan! Food “issues” are the worst, aren’t they?! I can’t imagine having IBS. Hopefully your doctor will have answers to all your issues and your feeling better in no time.
Smile. I loved hearing all your answers to those questions. I would chose Johnny Depp too…or maybe Ryan Gosling. I’ll be thinking of you and hoping you can figure out what is ailing your stomach. Much love!
I totally forgot about Ryan Gosling… I love the Notebook.
Cool camera! That is one of the things that will be on my Christmas list….(yes we still make lists in my family) :) Well, either a camera or a Garmin 305….haven’t decided yet.
Don’t be sad! You will totally get this food thing figured out! I think that once you do you will start to get creative with your food and hopefully you won’t feel so hungry anymore. Just go to the mirror right now and say “Bam! I got this!”
Hmmm….Gosh I don’t know who I would want on the island… Somebody handy that’s for sure. Probably Sam Worthington from the last Terminator movie…He’s Australian…..and hot. Check and Check.
Fall accessory…..I am on the look out for some boots…:)
Oh, the camera is awesome and the Garmin 305 is a MUST have for any biker or runner. I seriously can’t run without it anymore.
i love this post. second-hand endorphins? I’m there.
longchamp totes are my favorite! i want a red large one with the long handles. but my others will just have to do for now. i short on dolla bills.
I’m in love with the Longchamp. I’m definitely adding one to my christmas list, probably the teal/blue one. I’m short about 100 dolla bills lol.
That camera sounds pretty awesome for you! My lap top is white and my phone & camera are black soo…nope, no pretty cool colored electronics on my end
I have no idea what celebrity I’d be on a desert island with…definitely not Edward Cullen…I mean, Robert Pattinson. I don’t think he’d do well there.
Oooo Vampires on a desert island, that’s scary!
awww, im sure you will get more creative over time, once you figure out what works for ya!
that camera looks awesome, i cant wait to see how your pictures come out.
the most awesome part of my tuesday= my winter coat came in..i ordered it from macys on friday, super quick! and i’m in love with it, yay!
colored electronics= FUN. my camera is red! my mac products are kind of boring but the cases are colored ;)
favorite fall accessory= FRYE boots, make me feel badass!
I’m in LOVE with frye boots too. I’d have 5 pairs if I had a trust fund ;-)
I think that Fitbook is rather ingenius! I need one too!
Oh my gosh! It really really is. If you can’t find it at Target they sell them online too. It’s so helpful with eating symptoms because you can look back and see exactly what and when you ate something.
I can only imagine how frustrating this is!! I have friends with GI issues, and it’s just not a good time.
