Vacation "Pride"

As I mentioned before, I think, I was in Vancouver last week for a wedding. My first ever same-sex wedding. It was beautiful. Absolutely romantic, heart-warming and well, not quite what I expected. There was no Liza Minelli singing "Put a Ring on It", no rainbow flags and no drag queens (just kidding, I didn't expect this). The only thing "fruity" was the salad. Which I had a lot of (sans croutons), as I've been off wheat since June 18.

I wouldn't say entirely off, as I have accidentally had wheat in some condiments etc. I have cut out all breads, pitas, wraps, bagels, buns, muffins, crackers etc. It has not been easy, but I'm trying. I went to Subway in Vancouver and ordered a turkey sub wrapped in egg whites instead of a pita. They thought I was crazy. And maybe I am. But I'm feeling thinner and my stomach has not been bloated in a long time. Unfortunately I have had a terrible headache for the past 3 days. I'm not sure if it is from the withdrawal or just allergies to life. It has subsided already today, so who knows. My girlfriend who is a celiac said she had headaches for a month when she quit gluten. Yikes. Lets hope that doesn't happen to me.

I was nervous going to Vancouver as I would be eating out A LOT. The good news is - I got home, did my Friday weigh in and was down another 0.2lbs!! This isn't a lot, but considering I ate out three meals a day, I clearly made some good food choices. I also worked out HARD twice when I was there. Once even at 8am. Yeah Katie! I'm feeling great about myself and my body. I'm beginning to see definition in my arms and my stomach is flattening out. It has been three months of dedication but it is completely worth it. I feel sexy again! Tomorrow is June month end. Already! I will do a quick post with my measurements, although I don't think they have changed.

Happy Long Weekend!
