Today is my day off, which means its my naughty day... I can gorge on exactly what I please. I have gorged and feel good about it and I have also been gluten free all day long! I've had an awesome relaxed chilled, beach, sofa and pizza day! It just proves you can be indulgent in the gluten free world. I feel utterly full right now, cant move at all... but well deserved fullness! Like I expected my weight loss has leveled off, and has kind of stabilized at around 68kg... which I guess is a pretty OK weight. I think I'll be a little on the heavier side tomorrow.

As expected woke up feeling utterly sore today. Yesterdays beach gymnastic session totally tuck its tole on me, I felt like I'd taken a beating when I tried to get out of bed. Energy hasn't been amazing today, hasn't needed to be really... day off and I was ready to chill hard. I expected my skin to be perfect after this diet but its just the same really, not especially spotty today but I have a few sore red pimples on my chin at the corner of my mouth. This is kind of my general problem spot and to be honest its pretty hard to rate my skin as I wouldn't consider I have bad skin in anyway, I rarely get spots mostly I just get the odd blemish here and there.

My friend Paige had a look at my bottom today and she thinks its definitely getting better, I'm not so convinced though. I have realized I'm eating an awful lot of dairy at the moment, which I wouldn't necessarily think is a good thing... so as well as cutting down on soda/fizzy drinks I also want to cut down on diary particularly cheese. I thought it might be a good idea to photograph myself everyday and compare them on a daily basis.

Day 6 - 2/07/12

Weight: 67.8kg

Mood: 7 out of 10

Energy: 8

Complexion: 8 out of 10

Food Log:

- a small apple

- dried fruit

- cajun chicken and cheddar cheese
-  a side of greek salad (lettuce, rocket, 2 tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar)
- banana milkshake

- apple and mango juice

- Lift

- 2 ice cream scoops and butterscotch sauce

Had a pretty chilled day today, was up early and most of the day being lazy chilling on the beach, did get pretty restless and ended up teaching Errol how to be a gymnast. Pretty impressed actually, anyhow I'll be pretty sore tomorrow I'm sure. I checked the rash on my bum cheeks today and its still clearly there, but honestly not quite so ready. I'm not generally feeling 100% today but i can easily blame that on my horrendous headache that I have because my wisdom teeth are coming through, the whole side of my face is sore as well as my ear. Its nearly been a week since I started this, and mostly I've been really positive and thought about what I can eat instead of what I can't... I must say there has been a few instances particularly today where I really craved bread or a wrap or something along those lines. I think I might just buy a gluten free loaf of bread just to keep in the freezer, so when I have those cravings hopefully that'll help.


One thing I have noticed about my diet is that I drink to many fizzy drinks, at least one a day, usually its only a quarter of a glass at a time but I have a few to keep me going through the night. I'm going to try and drink something different at work... maybe cordial?

Today was my opening morning at work, which meant I had to get up at 8am. Its been my first day when i've struggled to get out of bed and honestly I've knackered all day long. I've just got back in now, had a few drinks after work and I'm ready for bed. I haven't had the much sleep the last few days, so I guess its catching up with me. Right now is probably the most i'm struggling with this gluten free diet, I'm tired, a little tipsy and hungry and I really want some easy convenient shit food to stuff my face with. I was amped about getting a gluten free dominos pizza, but annoyingly its Sunday and closed. So I guess I'll save that for another night.
