Alrighty, so this week I got to spend most of my time with my parents! Went shopping with my mom (who got Terrah some deeply needed new clothes!), had a girls night with my 2 sister in laws, and just had a nice, relaxing time!
Because I was there, I didn't make it to Zumba. I did do Pilates every day! My mom was helpful and had lots of healthy and gluten free food to help me stay on track while I was there---however, my will-power was no match for the ice cream DrumSticks they had in their freezer. :( Sooo wickedly delicious! I don't know who thought of them, but they were truly inspired!
So, I mentioned my mom got me some gluten free food...and I have to tell ya, I felt SO MUCH BETTER even after 4 days of staying away from wheat bread! My stomach didn't feel nearly as bloated and sore, and I FELT less heavy. It was a reminder that I really do have a gluten sensitivity. Which sucks, because I absolutely LOVE bread. But, I gotta work with what I've been given.
If you know any GOOD gluten free recipes, I would love to try them out! Gluten free products are so expensive, and so many of the recipes I've tried have tasted worse than dirt.

This week I wanted to shed some light on a slightly embarrassing, but very important topic-- constipation!
Let me be honest here... I have always, for as long as I can remember, had constipation issues. Which scares me, because I do not want to get colon cancer. So, I've been doing lots of reading and experimenting with trying to become more regular. My mom showed this THIS WEBSITE, about this woman's battle with constipation, and she gives some great info! One thing that I found interesting-- she says that Americans spend 1 billion dollars a year on laxatives! Clearly, I am not the only person out there with this issue.
But, why is it such a big deal?
Well, poop is waste your body is trying to get rid of. If it can't get rid of it, those toxins are continuing to poison your body! As Wild Blessings says, "Health and Death begin in the gut."
Seriously, go read the blog if you want some ideas of what you can do to help move things along! For me, I've found that eating 1 1/2 T of whole flaxseeds has helped me! I tried the ground up flaxseeds, but for some reason they were giving me really bad headaches. I've stopped eating bananas *tear* because they clog me up.
It's really interesting stuff, and so So SO important!
ON TO THE MEASUREMENTS...
WEEK 5
Waist: 39
Hips: 40 1/2 inch.
Another 1/2 inch off my waist! I'm pretty sure that's from doing better with my bathroom breaks! :)
