Day 23 of being gluten-free

I am already at the point where I am officially over it. My motivation is down, I am not as invested in this, and I just want this to be done. I don’t want to do food prep anymore, I don’t want to eat another salad again, I just want to open my eyes and wake up and be at my goal weight. When I was working out yesterday, my heart just wasn’t in it and I cut the session short. HOWEVER, in most of my fitness challenges, I am usually over it between 3-6 weeks in. I honestly don’t want to quit this time. I want to see how this plays out. I want to reach my goal, I want to heal my body, and yes, for those that have been following my channel from day one, I still want a 6-pack.

Looking at my stomach at the current size will take months to complete these goals. I am hoping that this funk in my energy improves soon. This is also the first week I don’t really have a clear idea on what to eat for my main meal. It was supposed to be a stir fry, but I eat all the mushrooms already. I am also craving waffles, so I think for the last 2 days of the challenge, I will make gluten-free waffles. I think I am starting to miss my favorite types of food. I tend to eat a lot of vegan sandwiches, vegan pizza, and vegan burgers when I am not detoxing. However, I think this is part of the reason why I put on so much weight.

My mood is also effected by what my meals are. For example, in the first week of this challenge, I ate a grain bowl that was very similar to Chipotle. That is how I really eat, and it felt “normal” to me. Now the meals are becoming more “green” and have less grains and more vegetables. I want to get my body and mind ready for the next phase of the challenge which is “no beans, and no grains.” That will begin on March 1, 2021. But right now I just want to quit. I think as I approach the next phase of the challenge, I will really do my best to make meals that get me excited to eat. Right now I feel like I am going through the motions and I am on autopilot.
