Then, I narrowed it down to stupid GUM! It's the xylitol in the sugar-free gum I had been chewing. Threw it away and my stomach is now FINE. That was a stupid mistake that cost me 3 good days in the gym!
So, even though eats have been good, I've FELT like a bloated pig! Scale still being nice to me, however, so I'm expecting that I'll feel even better once all this xylitol crap is out of my system. Never again!
I did, however, keep up with my NEAT and cardio because I figured walking and running outside was safe (by myself  ) even with the gastro issues. How lovely. |
There is something in the gum that does it to me, too. I wonder if that might be it. The number on the scale being good to you, shows you how on your game you are, with your food.
Just wanted to check in with you and see what you have been doing. Has it been hotter than ever there, too? It has just been SO hot. I have to keep the kiddos supplied with their water, in fear of them getting dehydrated.
