Wow! I had no idea a nightshade sensitive existed. I knew tomatoes were in the nightshade family, but not the other things. I love most of those things (no eggplant for me). I'm glad you can possibly run without fear now kleigh!!
Also, I think we are a almost anyone but the Patriots family. I care so little I'd have to check with DH.
Nightshades are also bad for arthritis, but I can't give them up.
We've discussed giving them up and few times because (without looking it up) I think they're bad in general for inflammation? Does that sound right? But we never put much effort into it and usually forget about it quickly lol.
kleigh it dawned on me at two am that I didn't answer your question. It's called an exercise challenge. Eat the offending food, and get your heart rate above 80% for more than five minutes. Some places have you do it on a treadmill or bike, my rural office had me run around the building 😂. The only issue is that you almost have to recreate the same scenario for it to work because it's such a strange condition. Was it hot out on those days, cool? Was it springtime? Could pollen have had a part in it? So on and so forth.
sophiegrace Thank you! Yeah so that might be a little difficult, all three times it was very hot (well, the following is embarassing but one time was a run outside middle of summer, one time was on my treadmill downstairs in the basement with no cooling during summer, and one time was while having sex with H so not exactly running but you get the point. We had only been together a couple months, talk about ruining the moment, but yes it was waaaaaaay hot in my apartment and also summer).
Hahaha, did you tell the doctor about the cause of that last one kleigh??
OMG there is so much to this story you guys wouldn't even believe it.
I told the EMTs, ER doc's, and my doc all the truth 😂
You have to remember we'd be a couple for two freaking months, not even.
The first symptom I started to develop in the middle of said romp was difficulty breathing. So we paused. I used my inhaler but it wasn't working. So then I got the urge like I had to go to the bathroom, but BAD. Like get your ass in there right now naked and all BAD. So here I sit on the toilet, naked, keep using my inhaler, diarrhea like crazy, and couldn't speak. My thought was, this is how I die. Right here, naked in my own shit in front of my new boyfriend. He knocked on the bathroom door and was like "are you ok in there". But I couldn't talk so I had to open the door - sitting on the seat naked, smells like shit bc well it was... All I could muster gasping was "9".. "1".."1".. His face turned white as a ghost.
The rest is history. We moved in the following month and were engaged by the end of the year. He must love me 😂
kleigh, I have Histamine release during exercise, I basically have to remember my allergy meds or I'll get red, swollen, and itchy. I know in 5 minutes of working out if I forgot to take my allergy meds. The romp story is scary and hilarious...
ClassyMrsA, I like crockpot taco soup. Shredded chicken and it's great as is or put over corn tortillas.
jubilantsquirrel, I needed to see that! I was feeling like a failure not having time to workout,clean, spend quality time with baby, heck I'm struggling get on here!
I'm trying to maintain gazelle intensity and I'm down 4.6lbs my first week seriously working weight watchers.
I took 2 Zumba classes this week, the girl on Friday is awful. She has no musicality! I hope that doesn't make me sound mean. Everything felt like a Charleston, zumba is Latin! At first, I thought my standards were too high (I got licensed by a Puerto Rican and my mentor was a Venezuelan) but when I took a class with a different instructor, it was what I know to be Zumba.
My let down/ motivation is I hadn't taken zumba in a class setting in years! I started coaching swimming and that took place at the same time. I'm so big now, I didn't recognize myself in the mirror. I'm horrified with myself!
My goals for May are to track my points, go to all my meetings, get to Zumba 3 days a week, hopefully lose another 10lbs before the end of the month. DH comes home soon and I struggle the most when he is home.

Great goals and amazing progress already cheshie6!!! Your body has created a little human, birthed it, and fed it all in this past year. Remind yourself of that anytime you get those negative feelings. It's easy to put ourselves on the back burner in order to put these babies and their needs first. Someone in this thread told me a few months ago that no matter how we feel we look, out babies still see us as the most beautiful things they've ever seen. I've held onto that because it's so true. I wish I could remember who to give credit to. dashook maybe?
sophiegrace, I try to remember that, but my weight has always been one of my areas of insecurity. I know I'm the most beautiful to him but my brain can't help but think I'm hurting him for later!

Yes I have definitely said this! It helps me through a lot of days when I'm not feeling my most confident.
I ran again this morning. It went better than my Thursday run. I'm proud that I've worked out/ran 3 days in the past week, but I'm disappointed that my mile isn't improving. DH said he can help me with that. I'm scared.
