So I’m thinking too much fiber…

Since I started back this week I have really been trying to incorporate alot of WW’s filling foods into my diet.  Which pretty much means anything in high fiber.  So I have been eating lots of it.  And now I am thinking it is possible to overdose on fiber.

First off (pardon the TMI) I woke up very gassy this morning.  We had chicken patties for supper last night with baked fries so not alot of fiber (except for the whole wheat bun) so I guess its been building up over the past few days (pardon the pun).  It kept on even after I got to work…thank God I have a private office!  But I went ahead and had my two slices of whole wheat toast for breakfast with my eggbeaters.  Then for lunch I had a cup of sauerkraut on my Hebrew National hot dogs, that layed atop two more slices of whole wheat bread.  With a side cup of broccoli.  See where I am going with this?

Around 2:30 the grumbling starts.  Oh good Lord, just what I didnt need an hour before I get off work (I have a 30 minute commute home).  But it passed so I thought it was just a fluke and I was fine.

Forward to 4:30… I decided to take advantage of the 75 degree temps and go for a long walk.  I was 23 minutes into it and around 1.5 miles from home when it hit again.  And I thought I was gonna explode right there!  Oh hells bells, I am in the middle of nowhere and I cant even walk, not to mention run home!  I am thinking seriously about finding a tree!!!

I stood there for around 3 minutes until I could get my bearings and when the moment passed, I high tailed it home!  I mean warp speed!!  I ended up walking 41 minutes and around 3 miles but let me tell ya, that last 20 was the longest walk of my life!

So tomorrow I am eating a Lean Cuisine.  No fiber. No way, nuh uh.

Still doing great, got up this morning and rode the bike for 13 minutes, took a speed walk for 10 minutes around 11 this morning and will probably get on my bike in a little bit…belly allowing.  Tomorrow is weigh in and I am excited!  I get to see my meeting buddies again but the scales are gonna be horrible!  Or maybe not after today…  >:-o)

    Yeah you got to mix it in slowly or that happens. It’s hard because somedays I end up eating 40+ grams of fiber and some days 15-20 grams so I am sure I am setting myself up for failure.
