Gluten Free Chicken Salad

You can make this chicken salad Paleo if you make your own mayonnaise. I'll settle for gluten free and stick with my beloved Duke's Mayo.


INGREDIENTS

Boneless skinless chicken breast
Garlic Salt
Honey
Carrots - diced
Celery - diced
Onion - diced
Garlic - crushed
Duke's Mayo

Sprinkle your chicken breasts with garlic salt and bake (I bake for an hour on 250 to keep them juicy and tender).
Cool and cut chicken into desired size cubes
add diced veggies and mix around
drizzle with honey and mix around some more (I'm a little heavy handed with the honey, because I like it on the sweet side)
add mayo and mix, add more mayo and mix, keep repeating until you have the consistency that you like. Serve up on some lettuce leaves or plain on a plate.

***Walnuts and/or pecans are a great addition if you like a little extra crunch!

And Thus Begins My Journey into the World of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity!

Extremely long story short, I made an appointment for a massage. I've been making some pretty big lifestyle changes and kind of want to have a lymphatic drainage massage and some trigger point to try and restore my range of motion. I got in touch with Brandi at  Affordable Spa Services , and after a pretty comprehensive Q&A, she asked me if I have ever been tested for gluten sensitivity. It seems that my laundry lists of aches, pains, and ailments are pretty much text book symptoms of  gluten sensitivity. She also told me that she would throw in a nutritional analysis along with my massage and told me to keep a food diary for two weeks. I have been keeping the diary and notating how I feel, and I have discovered that I have joint and muscle aches, I feel foggy, my balance gets all weird and I feel like I'm going to fall, and I get the dreaded constipation. I also discovered that after a few days of eating "clean", I don't hurt and I feel better in

Strange Dreams

I'm not sure what the bad dreams are about, but they all seem to be related to different aspects of losing weight. A little anxiety, maybe? 12 April 2018 I dreamed that I was getting my first ever crochet bikini. When I tried it on, my boobs looked like they were filling socks and hanging down..,. The girl making the bikini top took one look at me and said "Too Long! Too Long!" I woke up feeling just a little humiliated! It looked like I was wearing a Tata Towel... for a laugh, look at the $45 boobie towel 16 April 2018 I gained a couple of pounds over the weekend and I know its natural and partially due to the fact that I haven't "gone" well for a while, but you can't convince my subconscious of that. I dreamed that I had gained a few pounds (probably because I have gained 2 pounds and  my jeans are cutting me around the waist); the dream progressed to me realizing that I was pregnant and being extremely concerned about how my mom would re

I'm scared... Am I making changes too late? ***updated***

I went to the doctor and got a physical. My exam was pretty darned good! My doctor was happy with the weight loss and my bloodwork came back pretty awesome, too! My A1C came down from 7.9 to 6.3 and my LDL cholesterol came down from 99 to 70! *************************************************************************** I've been thinking about weight loss surgery for the last 20 odd years, but none of my insurance carriers would cover it. The insurance I have with my current position allows weight loss surgery, but now I don't want it because I'm doing so well on my own! I look at the side effects, and I would basically have to change my diet to the one I'm on... Soooo, what's the point in spending $5000 dollars on surgery when I can save that $5000 and get new clothes and possibly get some skin removed (tummy tuck and breast lift!)??? I'm glad that I never got the surgery, because I've seen so many people do it and then gain the weight back because
