Low carb is tough. Some days it feels like you can never fill up with anything you can eat freely. Clearly though, all low carbs are not created equal. For example, salad that I make at home is not the same as the one I order in a restaurant. Even though I ask for oil and vinegar rather than dressing, there are contaminants or hidden carbs and gluten in the thing.
Being really gluten free, a little mess of hidden gluten can be felt in as little as a half hour. I get sluggish, bloated, and I feel it in my pesky sore foot first. I feel like I am moving under water. How in the world can a simple salad get so contaminated?! And we thought low carb would cinch the gluten free eating! Ack.
Down about 10 pounds now. And since the foot is feeling better most of the time, or as long as I change my footwear several times during the day, and I don't stomp on it, oh and I don't stretch it the wrong way, I've decided to start walking.
We'll see. It is like multitasking during work. You take a call, write a memo, do an email, check your facebook page, and chew celery all at the same time. Walking is similar. You have to walk further each time, watch how you place the injured foot, make sure the dogs don't tangle up in the leashes, and keep your pants pulled up all at the same time. You try it!
Ack.
