Day 4 already?

Nice, Alex, nice. He's got the theory thing down.

So it's almost Friday which mean it's almost the weekend, which means this will be harder for a few days. I think it's harder for everyone to eat healthy on the weekends, whether on a diet or not. Unless someone brings in cookies or doughnuts or bagels to work, then it gets tough to stay healthy at work. Thankfully that hasn't happened at my work yet but Alex has had to meander around a potluck at his work earlier this week. He did it! But said it wasn't easy.


There's no huge news for the day today; we had hard boiled eggs and a smoothie for breakfast, salad and melon, nuts and raisins for lunch, and tilapia for dinner. It seems like its already a routine- spending a lot of free time cooking or preparing, that is. I think it's helpful that we're learning how long preparation takes and what works, what doesn't, before school starts so we can be more streamlined in a month or so (AHHH, less than a month!).

The BIG news of the day, at least for me, were the BIG headaches I had most of the day. I mentioned them yesterday as well but it was bad today. It has to be from sugar withdrawal, or something of the like. I haven't had headaches like that since middle school when I ended up in the ER. Yikes, let's hope that doesn't happen this time! Alex told me to cheat and have a sip or two of pop to see if it helps. No way! I wasn't about to cheat on day 4! I'd rather be in pain and make him listen to me complain! Actually, I've found activity helps most aches and pains, so we played tennis for a few hours and now I'm feeling better. Let's hope that's the last of them!

Alright. Bring on the weekend...

  1. Annie, if you're keeping a blog do it right. Which mean you should probably spell check. Second of all you should feel free to cheat for the first two weeks if this is actually a lifestyle change and not just simply a diet. Completely adjusting your system to all these natural foods is likely to take a toll on your system and for your sanity as well as the success of this new "lifestyle" I wouldn't be too hard on yourself in the beginning. Also dad wants to know if cheetos, cheese balls, or cheese puffs are the best if he's going to try out this diet.

  2. Cheese balls. Just like nature intended.
