One more day..........

Yesterday, I decided to keep going another day or so because I feel great - sometimes a little tiny bit tired, but mostly great. I also still have some lemons, so I might as well use them up. I woke up this morning not even hungry or caring about food at all. What a weird feeling. It is kind of nice not to have to think about food - at least for me. I still have 6 hungry mouths to feed. It is kind of a strange feeling to be making meals and not caring about the food. I am a little bored, however. It isn't as fun to read without a snack. And what do I do now when the kid go to bed?! Haha. Lately, I have been craving a nice big salad. Bread sounds really good too. Maybe because it is baking right now. Oh well.

I'm thinking a lot about what kinds of foods I will eat when I'm off this. Fresh, Raw, Whole, Green. No more processed (or at least limit the processed stuff), high-fructose corn syrup, white flour, white rice etc. For the kids too. I can't control what they eat out of the house, but at home I can. Luckily, they like good foods. Treats will have to be reserved for holidays, birthdays, school, primary (yes, they send them home with candy all the time) and occasional bribes :)

Brett is really healthy - he makes me look like Satan when it comes to eating right. He cooked a turkey a couple days ago - so yesterday I added all the "fixins" to it - mashed potatoes/gravy, stuffing, pumpkin pie etc. It didn't even bother me not to be eating any. Later that night, as I was drinking my lemon juice he said, "Well, I better eat something fattening, since you are eating something not fattening" and he ate some more pie and whip cream. He needs it - I don't!

Ha! I'm surprised Brett said that...I remember when Anna was just born and you really wanted a twizzler and he gave you this scolding look and said, "whatever you eat goes straight into Anna" and your defiant bite of the twizzler. I was so proud of you!

The moral of this story is that Brett needs to eat more twizzlers.
