One of my accountability partners said to me....you are working way too hard for you not to get faster results, there is something you don't know. My first reaction was not a happy one...it kinda rained on my parade but then when I reflected on it...I realized they were right. There was something I didn't know....more than exercise. My friends kept saying maybe your allergic to something or something is reacting with your body in a way to cause inflammation or something. At that point I knew what it was...but I went into denial. DAIRY. I am not a big milk fan (I use almond milk), I have cut out ice cream (which I do love) but YOGURT might be my favorite snack...ever since childhood. I couldn't imagine giving it up...it was all I had left!!!! I avoided the issue and kept on my merry way. Until my church had a fast and I decided to give up dairy. One week....eight lbs. Immediate body reaction. Of course this regulated out and I am not getting those results now but I am still getting better results. WHY LORD!
I have found ways to substitute yogurt in my smoothies. I found a non dairy yogurt that tastes gross to me but it helps thicken the smoothies. Apple sauce works as well. I wont front I miss having a yogurt cup in the morning but for a season we have to part ways. Not really sure what exactly the issue was with it and my body because Ive never reacted to it as far as nausea or intolerance. Maybe it just makes me bloat.
O well...
Till Next Time
Saying Goodbye to Yogurt :)
