Wordless Wednesday

So much for hoping it was a fluke...

Friday went well even when my team decided to get Red Robin for lunch.  I ordered a lettuce wrapped burger and it was pretty good.  Friday night we were going to go have BLT's with Andy's family and I had decided I could just leave the bun out but Andy ended up sick and we didn't go anywhere.  He's thinking he has a problem with dairy and maybe that's why he keeps getting an upset stomach.  He's had a slight problem but we both think it's getting worse.  I ended up having cereal and some rice a little while later for dinner.

Saturday was a real struggle for me.  I woke up wanting an Egg McMuffin from McDonald's.  Andy made me a wonderful omelet that was really good tho.  At lunch I really wanted a sandwich but settled on a baked potato.  We had my family reunion to go to Saturday night and when we stopped at the store to get something to take with us to eat I really had a hard time.  I settled on sushi and Andy grabbed a sandwich and we picked tortellini salad to share with everyone else (I was feeling very lazy).  I walked out of there feeling very down about my new diet restrictions.  We ended up getting to the park late and everyone was just finishing eating, but it was all good.  The reunion was fun and the auction was enjoyable this year.  At one point one of my cousins mentioned she had a headache and it occurred to me that I didn't.  For the last several years, every time I have gone to higher elevations I have gained a headache on the way up and it has stayed for hours.  I didn't have a headache.  Later my sister came up to me and grabbed my leg in teasing while I had it crossed in my lap and then she hurriedly let go and said sorry because normally this would have hurt really bad, it didn't.  Andy then poked my in the arm on purpose and guess what?  It didn't hurt!  Damnit!  I was really hoping this was a fluke!  I don't want to have to avoid gluten!  Don't get me wrong, it was really nice to be up the canyon without a headache and to be able to be poked or grabbed and not have it hurt, but damn that sucks.  :(

Since we were in the area, and he doesn't get them but once a year or so, Andy stopped and got some Krispie Kreme donuts on the way home.  He got a dozen glazed and a bag with two custard ones in it.  I stuck my nose in the bag and just smelled them for a bit and was able to resist and be okay.  This morning, however, was hard.  We had a friend stop in for the night on his way north with his two cute kids and when I woke up this morning they couldn't wait to tell me that their dad had given them each a donut for breakfast!  They were so excited about it and I was happy for them, but then I wanted one.  Thank goodness they were finished off quickly by Andy and Tony.  The kids were adorable and fun to have around this morning.  I even did Kylee's hair into a little braid which she (and her dad for tangles sake) really liked.

After they left tho I just kept looking and that stupid donut box and all I could think about was things I couldn't have.  I had another nice omelet for breakfast with onions, green peppers, and black prince tomatoes (thanks Elizabeth!) which was very yummy but got all down around lunch time.  I'm really hating not being able to eat what I want.  Andy however surprised me with a wonderfully delicious lunch that helped get me out of my mood.  He mixed up some tuna and scooped into scoops and put it on red pepper slices.  It was soooo good!  Thanks Hunney!
