This is kind of crazy. All this time Ive been beating my head against the wall and still gaining weight, I switch to GF and suddenly, the weight is falling off, I have increased energy, and mood is much better. I keep waiting for a crash, lol.

Ive found there is a struggle to get enough protein, as the convienent GF foods are usually snack type food. Last night I had this fettucine alfredo GF frozen meal from whole foods, and it was delicious. I also steamed some zucchini and had a great dinner. I found myself CRAVING a piece of bread as if it was crack, so I did have a piece of UDI white bread, and found that it satisfied that craving, and wasnt bad at all...

For breakfast today I had organic yogurt and UDI GF granola and cranberries. For lunch? GF pasta and sauce. For dinner I will be making stir fry, with veggies, amino's instead of soy sauce (tastes the same I swear) and basmati rice (GF). Super excited about this, and potential leftovers!!

I have an outing tomorrow night, so I will be bringing GF chips and salsa and GF brownies. Should be interesting!!!

Also found that the dark choc covered powerfruits from Trader Joes are AMAZING!! Also big shout out to Enjoy life brand's boom choco boom dark chocolate bar. Its dairy, nut, soy and GF!!! And tastes awesome!!!

At the end of yesterday I found myself at only 1000 calories for the day, but I had not been hungry all day. This is a mystery to me, and I know not a good level of caloric intake. The struggle is to get more lean organic protein in, and veggies and fruit to balance everything out.

Its such a complete difference; Im not hungry constantly,and have more energy...HMMMM....

Now if I can just figure out what to eat at BW and Chipotle Im good to go, lol!!!

Oh, how life is difficult sometimes. Grandma Charlotte passed away last night at 720pm, after a fight with lung cancer. Ive been here before, been through worse, but if I could take Kira's pain away I would in a heartbeat. She was so close to Grandma, and she has never lost anyone before. I have never felt more helpless as a parent as I do now. I just hope I can help her through this the best way possible. I will eternally be grateful to Grandma for her relationship with Kira; she has been there for her, as second parent almost since she was born. I will forever appreciate that, and it means more to me than either of them will ever know. She was quite a lady, quite spunky, and I know that she will be keeping everyone in heaven on their toes. I pray for everyone to be okay and get through this. She had a rich, full life, but it just seems like four months isnt a lot of time to get to say goodbye. Those are four months we didn't think we would have thou...

So this past Saturday we had the Grimmetts over for dinner. Jenny is a vegetarian, so I made GF, veggie lasagna. This great recipie I found suggested using eggplant as the noodles. It was so easy to put together, just used the eggplant like real lasagna noodles. After pulling it out of the oven, I realized what a nightmare had begun.. it was sooo soupy. Ugh. Our kids ate it, and I couldnt even eat it. Jenny, being the nicest person ever, as usual, claimed she loved it and asked for some to take home. FlOP!! Those of you who know me know what stress this created for me. I have such a hard time with failure, esp in front of other ppl!!! So, the kids and adults filled up on smores for dinner, and I threw the epic fail away. Next time Ill just use GF noodles..... Last night I made GF meatloaf. It actually went over very well, and the kids and James loved it!! I used organic, grass fed ground beef and added the following: salt pepper fresh cilantro amino acid...
