This is it...
Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I feel like it is important for you to understand my motivation to be healthy while enjoying life. I have lived for so long concentrating on the glass being half empty rather than half full. This is my public commitment to change that way of thinking and just be happy.

Please feel free to comment and call me out when I get off track. Also, let me know what I am missing or what would be a great addition to make my blog better.

Let's do this!

Spelt is not ok!

Guess I should have done this a long time ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet

The definition of gluten free: Bottom line; don’t eat stuff derived from gluten. Here is the list: wheat, Kamut, spelt, barley, rye and triticale. Oats are questionable.

I learned about spelt the hard way. I made my first trip to the Whole Foods (amazing store by the way) and was there for two hours reading the back of everything I wanted to buy. I thought spelt was ok but surprise… it’s not!

Menu

Breakfast – Rice Crispys and almond milk

Snack – mandarin oranges

Lunch - Brown Rice Tortilla with turkey, Sheep’s Milk cheese,

Dinner – Steak, asparagus, sweet potato fries

Way to many Pomegranate Martinis

Happy Thoughts: Gimlet is another Vodka drink without lemon.

Special Stuff: Another flour mixture - http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/archives/gluten-free-all-purpose-flour-mix/

Other Notables: Drinking wine is debatable - http://ezinearticles.com/?Yeast-Free-Living---Can-I-Drink-Wine?&id=2957574
