Chocolate, but no WHEAT

An interesting thing happened yesterday.  I ate a some a lot of chocolate ... but no wheat at all which is unusual.  I expected to have a sugar coma this morning - nope.  Felt fine.  I'm not advocating eating lots of chocolate everyday (that wasn't productive for my pants fitting), but it was a curious finding in my wheat experiment.  Maybe I can chalk that chocolate binge up to SCIENCE ... all in the name scientific evidence.  Sounds like denial a good idea.

If I eat too much sugar, it's usually accompanied by wheat.  Cake, cookies, etc.  This was sugar without the wheat and it felt different.  Again, I don't need to eat tons of sugar everyday, but I wonder if my sugar coma is really a wheat coma?

Cutting out all wheat is proving to be some work.  Not really hard work, but an effort of sorts.  Last night we went out to dinner to a seafood restaurant with the youngest. My usual choices weren't an option.  Beer - nope.  Hushpuppies - nope.  Breaded fish fry - nope.  But I found some good choices with a little looking.  I kept reminding myself to not grab a taste of something with wheat - bite of hubby's fish fry, etc.

Yesterday was a fun day.  Just what my funk-busting self needed.

Success at the outdoor market - set of 3 soaps.  One is made for dogs.  Perfect for my aunt.  Heading to the Container Store today to get fun packaging for the gifts.  Dogs got lots of attention too!  We got our pear iced teas.  None of my usual samples though - all wheat goodies.

Swim at the lake was nice.  The day was cool, lots of shade.  My pup had a blast.  Gigi spent an hour running around exploring the shore - most energetic I've seen her.  We had 2 exhausted pups last night.





Then youngest came home and we went out for dinner (with a stop for chocolate -- actually not my idea, but I sure partook in the loot!).

Today is FINALLY the grocery store loop.  To say the cupboards are bare is an understatement.  I already ran my intervals - woohoo.  I have a nail appointment for a gel manicure before the errands.  I want to see if it lasts for the time I'm away.  The salon is closed Monday and Tuesday is a packed day, so I need to get my nails done today before my trip ... they need a professional shape up.  When I do it, they end up breaking in a few days ... I guess I file too aggressively.

My INTENTION today is not very inspiring to me, but it's a necessary one ... STAY AWAY from the CHOCOLATE!  Later gators.
