I finally recovered by the end of the week, feeling back to normal energy-wise. But my gut is still hair-sensitive and I'm not happy with how it feels. I'm also not happy with the emotional wreck it makes me into. Grocery shopping makes me anxious, meals out are avoided, and I feel a sense of being left out lately. So at WholeFoods Saturday I bought some GF bread, mixes, etc to add those into my routine. I'm wondering if I'm in the so-called mid-lands of carb amounts: Not low enough to be keto yet not high enough for fueling. So I'm adding in more fruit and some of these foods if they work. 

I tried a few things (too much, I admit, the mixes are a shit headed M idea) and ended up with gut cramps by the end of the day and through Sunday. One serving! Only!

We shopped at REI on Saturday - I got a bright brick red rain coat like I've been wanting (the rain coat part, not necessarily the red) and LA got cycling shoes and bibs. Lotsa money -- oof -- but the gear lasts for years for me. Then we took LA's new bike and Puppy out to Liberty for a ride, only 5 miles (chilly wind and a kids call took the warmth out of me) but it was great to have someone to ride with. He was a bit testy during the ride not sure if it was the phone call or something I did or both (he blamed me for it) but I still enjoyed it
