Lots of cleaning today. I'm starting to get my house back to the way it was before we did windows. :move:

Skipped down to 30DoC 18 because I was really itching for a bike ride, so I decided to make it count. I aim to get through 30DoC 16 tomorrow. Added Express Tone on an ADHD fueled whim and because I really do need to get some strength training going. I got to remember to start Everest earlier in the day. I also recognize that I may end up only doing Everest on the weekends. But it's not going to stop me from trying to do them during the week. :tuzki-hero:

Overall, feeling pretty good about today. I overate a little, but considering I am down 7.7 lbs from the first of the year, I think I am doing all right. Also considering that this is the first time I have actually lost weight since COVID...

... Yeah, about that. M and I had a realization that we went low gluten, if not gluten free, during COVID. We were doing the Isagenix shake diet (minus cleanse days), and I had gotten down from 230 to 180. Then we started to come back to eating normal meals, albeit smaller than they used to be and much more balanced, but I just regained it all and more. So, we may have already run this gluten free experiment already, without knowing that we were doing it. :dance:

Anyway, pretty sure that gluten free is here to stay. And in talking to my dad over Christmas, he is gluten intolerant and so is at least one of my cousins on his side of the family. Mom says I've also unknowingly convinced my sister to try this gluten free thing too, since she is also having issues with weight and I am actually getting results. The things I learn by talking to my family is just astounding sometimes. :break:

Keep on being awesome and I'll catch you next time!

Then, I found myself with a tension headache, possibly migraine. Today, I couldn't tell. Until early evening, then it receded to a just a persistent ache in my head.

Well, like I mentioned above, got sucked into the deep, dark of a bad headache this morning. I had to rearrange some plans and I did some impulsive, ADHD things - like move M's desk back to where it should be and rewiring our desk Ethernet cables with cables that are the proper length. But hey, it needed to be done and it helped me feel like I accomplished something today.

Better Sleep - the beeps were kinda quiet, so I missed the transition to pose 4, which sucked because I can't really do pose 3 very well and I haven't figured out how to modify it to make it better, so I spent a whole minute in the pose.

Today, I needed a recovery day. I am not upset with myself over this, I did push a lot this week. I took the day to relax and regroup to start fresh tomorrow. I did still have a lingering migraine today as well, but I think I'll sleep it off the rest of the way tonight. :zzz:

I was also supposed to have D&D this afternoon, but the DM wasn't feeling good either, so she cancelled the session. I am sad she doesn't feel good :vibes:

, but I also don't like to play when I have a migraine, so I am glad that I won't miss the intro to the next arc. :phew:

In other news, Erebus continued to be a sweet boy today and Orion is definitely feeling better because he was the one picking the fights with Erebus. I'm glad that the medicine is working. I can't recall if I mentioned it, but the poor old boy has an ear infection. And it has not been very fun to have to squirt various liquids into his little ears. However, it is definitely working, so YAY! :pose:

Alright, I'm going to go claim some TV time with my stitching now and get to bed soon. :hheart:

Keep on being awesome and I'll catch you next time!

YWA has a video on Rabbit Pose. (I haven't watched it. But Adriene is generally good at pose tutorials and providing modifications.)

On this day, work was absolutely crazy. I had a day in the field and it was just one fire after another. But in the end, everything came together and I am happy with the end result. But I was tuckered out by the time I got home. I could barely eat dinner and shower.

Honestly, I don't think I am going to get anything else done. I am sore all over and I didn't sleep well. I am glad I got the walks in. They helped break up the day and helped to center me. Also, helped with pushing my foot. I am doing great in that department and power walking went very well today!!! Also, I am sure that woman monthly nonsense doesn't help either. I think I've done enough to ensure a decent night sleep, so that I can come back refreshed for a fresh start tomorrow. (And I'll try to get caught up on logs tomorrow)

Alright, that was a bit better. It was very nice to get a full workout in. I was also trying to make sure that I finished up my second episode of The Walk, which is why I opted for Walking to Mordor over Express Tone today. I won't make promises about tomorrow, but I hope to hit Express Tone tomorrow.

Had an encounter with some gluten by accident today because I ate some licorice and didn't even think to read the ingredients before I consumed it. I bloated up some and got a headache shortly afterwards. So, still thinking gluten intolerance might really be a thing. Had to uninvite myself from the Indian frybread that my coworkers have decided to try to make tomorrow because it's made with flour. But, that's okay. I got myself some gluten free licorice coming in the mail (mostly because I didn't want to go to a store and get sad if there wasn't any there), so I'll get to have a good treat when that comes in. I have also recently obtained some Bob's Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free flour to try making treats with. I am supposed to be able to just replace normal flour in recipes with it, so I'm going to give my favorite cookies a go here soon.

I've learned that pretty much any candy with a certain texture contains wheat like 99% of the time. Softer candies with a gel-like texture (gummy worms, jelly beans, etc) might or might not be safe, but candy with a firmer texture (licorice, sour sticks, twizzlers, nibs, etc) nearly always have wheat starch in them. (It's a bit hard to describe via text.)

It's a good rule of thumb - I can genuinely guess if a candy is glutinous just by looking at it. Once or twice I've been wrong and very pleasantly surprised, but it makes life a little easier when you know what to expect.
