I lifted throughout my 20s. I played soccer and could run for hours. I was in great shape and had offers from trainers who wanted to train me to compete. Then I got married, had 2 kids and... got really sick. I had no energy. The thought of doing anything extra made me want to throw up. Having never experienced "lack of energy", I though my issue was turning 35 or my own laziness or my own lack of willpower. I was depressed. Then because my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease, I decided to get tested... Test was negative. But I was told I could still be wheat intolerant and after 9 years of not feeling like myself, I went gluten free.
SO.... I have been gluten free 4 months now and I am myself again!!! I have energy. I want to play with my kids. I want to workout. I want to make goals. And now I have the energy to KEEP them!!! I know I can get back in shape.

I love how it feels. I love the burn. I love the exhaustion. I love the sweating. I love being the master of my own body weight. It has been so long since I have felt any of those things. I am so excited now. I have so much energy now compared to before a GF diet. I am so happy I have actually shed tears of joy. I feel like myself again and that I can accomplish any goal I put my mind to. So much different than before.... I felt completely powerless. I will AGAIN be master of my own body weight!
