I took today off to go to the gyno. My vag is perfect. My rectum on the other hand is not...on exam there was a trace of blood. My guess is hemorrhoids because (TMI alert) I do strain some. Yes, I use psyllium when it gets really uncomfortable--I just can't stand the texture. It's not that bad but whatever.
She wants me to do a test that requires I eat no broccoli or cauliflower for 3 days. Why? Who the hell knows. Whatever. I'll do it get it over with & show her my rectum is also perfect.
Today I'm going to do HIIT on the bike & spend the day reading.
I did a thorough skim of The Metabolic Type Diet. It has some really interesting information. The premise is that we should be eating & avoiding certain foods based on our heritage. There is a 60+ questionnaire that tells you what "type" you are. There are 3 types, protein, carbo, & mixed.
Protein types should eat more proteins (duh); carbos more high quality carbs; & mixed, well, a mixed diet.
By test I fell into the mixed type. When I started reading about the different diets, however, I found that I feel better eating a protein type diet--the type of diet Wendy has me eating. In fact, the food lists are almost identical.
This morning I'm tackling Body for Life (because it's on Laura's suggested reading list).
Today's workout:
1 minute activity, 1 minute rest
14" box jumps
1 minute jumping pull-ups (see Crossfit for example)
12 lb dumbbell (kettlebell) swings
walking lunges
reverse crunches (I tried to do knees to elbows)
10 lb push press
jumprope
split squats (15 each side)
mountain climbers
oblique crunches
jumping jacks
cool down & warm up were done on the bike

I always come up a mixed type too! The older I get the more I think I am a protein type -- or, more likely, a less-gluten type.
Hope the test isn't too ... um ... obnoxious, LOL.
Yeah, I always come up mixed too, but the celiac disease pretty much blows that. The test probably works better for people without any gluten or insulin resistance issues.
Deb, you do make me laugh. :-)
I KNOW your rectum is every bit as perfect as the rest of you.
xox hehehe
