It’s Saturday. I spent the whole day shopping on very little food. It was freezing, & I was intent on finding the Olive Young beauty supply store because it carries the natural salt deodorant I use. I wandered with 2 heavy bags of groceries for around an hour, unable to find it. I hated giving up, but there was no way I was going to find it, so I went home. I got home & I was really hungry. & really tired. I wanted something sweet, something quick. I am unspeakably tired of prepping and cooking. I still had some gluten-free chocolate cereal from before I went paleo, so I decided fuck it, I’d eat the damned cereal, then it wouldn’t be wasted, & I would get what I want without having to bake as well. It doesn't have wheat, the large-looming enemy of all. Fast forward about 2 hours, & I was throwing up. JUST A LITTLE, not a full-on emptying the stomach, but there we are. I can’t imagine that my body was reacting THAT strongly to grains after just two weeks off of it, but then there’s my period too.
Usually I get slight cramps a week or so before. I remembered thinking on Friday that this is around the time I should be getting it, but no cramps yet. Saturday afternoon is when I got it. Day one, likewise, is the worst in the way of cramps, but there were NONE. Not a one… until 4 or so hours after the cereal, when they literally came back with a vengeance, as did a much heavier flow. Lesson learned? My body just REAALY likes paleo. I thought it was just sugar that made the cramps & PMS symptoms worse, but I’ve been eating chocolate every night after work. Which leaves me with the other grains that were gone until the cereal.
Soo, between it likely helping my rosacea, prescribed for the Hashimoto’s, & giving me a miraculously easier-to-take period, paleo is definitely going to be here to stay in my diet.
