Getting used to wheat...

So yesterday was a good day. I got through the day without any obstacles, but buying groceries was an interesting experience. I discovered that everything I like is made of white flour. I was craving something semi-normal so I decided to buy a wheat pizza crust to make a fake pizza. I made it, it was ok...ok it was gross, but I ate it and I'm hoping I'll get used to it.

I went to my first party with this controlled nutrition plan. I was the only loser in the room not taking a shot, and I had to say no to all the awesome desserts. It was really hard, but I did it! Go me!!

Two wheat things I actually like: grape nuts cereal and wheat pasta! Tonight I tried out my homemade spaghetti recipe with the wheat pasta...was AWESOME!

Last night's training workout was pretty groovy. I got through it without having to stop. I didn't overheat, and I didn't feel like I had to barf. I would say.....progress! It was still hard, but I can already tell it's getting easier. Tonight I'm going to try and push myself a little more than I have the last 3 days.

In other news, I had my dance recital on Friday night. Man I love performing! I always seem to come alive on stage, and I wish I could do it more often. I've decided to add the advanced dance class on Thursday nights, and although I had reservations about the financial addition and time being lost, I really think it will be worth it to do two performances in May. Plus the extra exercise has to be a good thing! I just have to promise myself that I'll get my running in before the class starts. I can't slack on the training schedule or else I'll never build up my distance.

Oh and the most exciting news...I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL UNTIL JANUARY 25TH!!! I'm so freakin' excited! I finished both finals this weekend and am pretty sure I aced them both. Hopefully I'll get A's in both classes to maintain my 4.0. I should find out soon.

Ok that's all I have...off to hit the gym!

  4. I don't know if this helps you any, but can you have things that are made with rice-based flour instead of regular white flour? We tested out some recipes using rice flour and things made with rice flour recently to accommodate a friend with allergies and it was really surprisingly good!
