Wellness

When I started this blog, quite some time back, I decided it wasn't neccesarily going to be about weightloss.  At that time, my main concern was wellness.  Weightloss, should it happen, would be the icing on the cake.  I am beginning to be well.

I haven't posted in quite some time.  There has been A WHOLE LOT going on.  The biggest thing is, I quit my job in Oregon and moved to Southern California.  I was busy getting settled and looking for work.  

In the meantime, I became sort of ill.  Before I moved, I suspected I was having a problem with starches, and wheat in particular.  I went to the doctor and she suspected Celiac disease. Well! I did not want to hear that, so I pretended I didn't.  

One day, I went to a highly reccommended diner and had a big pancake breakfast.  I was sick for at least a week.  Even with cutting out as much gluten as possible, it took about a month before I even began to feel normal again.  At least in my intestinal area.  But, I have also noticed I can think clearer, I have a bit more energy and I am sleeping better. 

And bonus!  I have lost six pounds!
