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)
ROFLMAO!!!! Chris - have you not read any of my fartty fartty blogs????? Rod calls them “organic farts” and “poison ivy” all a result of eat healthier!!
I love the puns, I love the exercise and I love your sense of humor…..you know you remind me of someone now…………..????? Praying to the God Scale for you babe!
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.
LOL oh man, glad you made it home!
