Almost Done the Plan!

This Plan has got me all wigged out.  I love it, don't get me wrong, but its been a tough, lonely road filled with Kale, Spinach and Flax, flax and more flax.  I am getting tired of this non italian way of eating, and no where in her 20 days does she introduce Lasagna.  Technically I have passed the 20 days, but I have been reactive to cheese (gain of 1.5lbs) and bread (gain of 2 fricken lbs!) so that set me back a couple days.  Once you show that you are reactive to something, you need to take a rest day to loose the weight and then you can start testing again.  It took about 4 days for the bread to go away and about 3 for the cheese.  It was really hard and discouraging really, to see the numbers on the scale go up.  I don't know why because I knew I had these allergies, and she flat out says dont get discouraged when your weight goes up because it will come back down.  Whatever.  I was happy the numbers were going down and didn't want to deal with the shitty higher numbers. 
It made me realize a lot though.  I am most definetly an emotional eater.  150%.  In my warpped brain it made sense to me that I gained 2lbs therefore I should eat a pack of cookies because I was upset.  I didn't eat them, but just the thought of the thought of eating it made me so angry.  I am stronger than that!  (I keep telling myself that in the hopes that I will actually believe it one day)  I decided to go for a walk.  A 3 hour walk.  I just packed up shorty in the stroller and went.  I came back and was in a better mindset to eat my dinner of sauteed kale, the smallest piece of chicken and some salad. 
I haven't read further than the days that I currently am on, but I think I am going to read ahead and see how to test foods myself. I have to be honest and say I am a little worried that my weight is going to go back up.  I am working out again but not as intensly, so once the 20 days are officially over, I'll get back into my Tabata, Combat and Insanity.  But in the mean time me and shortstuff are just walking and jogging outside.  It is so refreshing, it really can do wonders to your mood, especially during "Dragon Week".  You know, that week where anything and everything someone says to you either makes you cry or scream?  Ya, it wasn't that bad this month!!!! :)

So my homework for you.....
Get outside and breathe some fresh air.  Take big long deeeeeeep breaths and enjoy the cool air in your lungs.  breathe out and let all the shitty thoughts, weight gain, bad days and chocolate cake breath out with it.
