I really thought this whole GF would be a lot harder than it has
been. Last weekend we went to Dingle house which is totally not GF, for
Amy's Suprise Bday Bash. I had wine and ordered a steak with fries, no
sauce or added stuff. It was great!
This weekend, Kira and I went to Sandusky to meet my friend Martha. A quick trip to Walmart and I got some GF snack foods and stuff for Kira. We stopped at Mellow Mushroom in Columbus for lunch, and i had the GF pizza. YUM~!!! We then had chipotle for dinner Friday night, and only a few modifications had to be made. For brunch we had the buffett at the waterpark, and for lunch I had string cheese, a lara bar and some GF pretzels. For dinner we went to Fridays and I had a steak.
The last morning there we went to Cracker Barrell and I ordered off of their low carb menu. Eggs, bacon, and hasbrowns.
Last night was the true test. It was my aunt's 50th birthday, so we all went and I was NERVOUS. The hostess looked at me like I was on crack when I asked about GF, but luckily our server and chef were very accomodating. Im not gonna lie, I had to make some sacrifices, it kinda sucked. I got steamed rice instead of fried. (i know, sux) and I couldn't have any of the sauces they give you or the soy sauce. The chef cooked everything plain and then I brought my liquid aminos with me. I sprayed the food and ate. It was really good. Im not going to say that it was like it always is, but for the FIRST TIME EVER, I left Benihana without gastrointestinal distress!! I felt good, and can honestly say the sacrifices were worth it!!!
Energy levels are still good, and I still feel good!! Have lost about 7lbs so far, which is amazing after only a week on a GF diet.
