Pain is temporally, quitting lasts forever

Says on my spinning class's wall. I just got back home from the class, spinning is good exercise don't have to jump around but still get proper good sweaty exercise. One thing that I am really missing is a heart rate monitor, it would be good to use when exercising to see what my limits are.

Last night I did my program at the gym, it only took me about 45 minutes so it is something that I could do at lunch breaks on weekdays. I have a plan to do the second day of my program tomorrow, but lets see!

I booked a nutritional therapist appointment, its is in couple of weeks and I cant wait to finally find out about my nutrition and learn more about nutrition I should have when trying for a baby and having this stupid   unexplained infertility.

I also booked a horse riding lesson! yes a horse riding lesson! I love horses (and animals in general) but I haven't been riding a horse for ages, cant wait that either! So many happy things ahead including this, birthday parties, spa treatment and dinners with friends.

Tonight's dinner was a mess where I layered sliced aubergines, mince, tomato sauce and home made cheese sauce and baked in the oven for about 30 minutes. I used oregano, thyme, pepper, vegetable stock and chillies to flavour the mince. I couldn't get a good photo of it, but the taste was delicious!

Digesting Ombar Superfood Chocolate

How to get through an intensive digestive system study...the answer is ombar superfood chocolate!

Their chocolate uses unroasted (raw) fine quality organic Ecuadorian cocoa. The roasting process in normal chocolate destroys heat-sensitive polyphenois. It's also made of low-glycemic organic coconut sugar - wont spike blood sugar levels as unrefined nutritionally complex. Berries in the chocolate I had, acai & blueberry, have been dried at low temperatures and then powdered. They even add probiotics to some of their bars to help look after our tums!




And those probiotics and other digestive things is what I have been learning about this weekend, a quite deep review of how the human digestive system works and how big part the gut has on our immune system and other things. On the other hand the more you know, the more paranoid and suspicious you become of what you can eat and the affect of the food you put in your mouth has.

I came to a couple of conclusions and I am going to to try a gluten free diet for four weeks and see if it has any affect to me.It's crazy that humans were not designed to digest gluten. First though I need to do a little bit more study about a gluten free diet and find some recipes and start planning my lunches in advance.

I also need to make my fasting plan if I am going to do it.

And what I was also thinking of doing is to book an appointment to see a nutritional therapist. Unexplained infertility could be cured by changing my diet and taking supplements, maybe I am lacking something important that I just don't know.

On Wednesday I am going to have a fitness test and fitness plan that I can follow at the gym. My plan is to go to the gym maybe 2-3 times a week, go for run once a week and hot yoga once a week. That way I won't get bored too soon and it makes it easier to follow the plan.

After I got home from school, I went to get some gluten free bread.  For dinner I had baked beans on (gluten free) toast with salad. And a spoonful of peanut butter...



P.s I actually had two bars of chocolate, other one was cranberry & mandarin :)
