today was better

[Momma2threegirls]

So I ditched the tomatoes yesterday all together and today I am a new person. The haze and drugged feeling is gone. i'm still a little tired and sort of feel like I am playing catch up on the energy situation. I did eat 1/4 of an avocado so that I wasn't removing two things that I suspected as problems. I spnt a lot of time with Fitday. i posted a post in the "review my menu" area - nobody has replied - maybe I should move it. the program is frustrating to me.....

Anyways, I went to the farmers market this afternoon and got some gorgeous broccoli, cauliflower, garlic and zucchini. I've been doing great drinking the water too and I'm down to 1 diet rite per day...and today - it didn't even taste that good. So that's good. i do have a taste for coffee and so i bought a little bit of decaf and I'm going to try making some very weak and drinking it without cream or sugar and see if my taste buds have changed any.

Anyways, I was feeling really discouraged. Maybe it's just TOM talking...but my "inner self" has been really negative. I hate feelings that way inside. The girls are just cranky and fighting ALL THE TIME and I feel like I'm loosing my mind sometimes. It doesn't help that my husband is working various projects and basically only around for about an horu to help with them (if that)...Oh well...such is life. We don't live close to ANY family or friends - so I guess I just have to chin up and wait it all out. I feel bad about my mom. She has been calling and i have been SO TIRED and sleepy I haven't even been able to hold a conversation on the phone. I wish we lived closer..... I digress. Anyways, I'm feeling better and I hope it keeps improoving.

Don't give up~~~just take a deep breath & hang on tight!! Sounds like you are doing what you need to do. Life's trials & tribulations will also pass.

Good luck on your journey!!

tomatoes were the culprit huh ? well maybe because they are technically fruit ? and induction is fruit no no ? glad you are feeling better tho, keep up thegood work

Its great that you feel better!
Life can seem pretty crappy at times. Try to take some time at night after the girls go to bed for you. Take a bubble bath, read a good book, something that you enjoy. It will help. Before I went back to work...the stress of the day literally wore me down to exhaustion, taking that little bit of time at night for me really helped.

Thank everyone - it's great to have support here!

I do think it was the tomatoes. My mom thinks I should eat them again to see - but...I'm pretty convinced. I have always had a skin reaction to touching the plants (Like when you are trying to tie them up or pick them) and I break out in a terrible inflammed and itchy rash - so it's little suprise that when isolated I also have other reactions to them. I just love caprese salad so darn much! But I feel even a little better today.

I am trying to carve out more time for me - but lately Dh is working more hours and we ahve so much to do around the house. I'm going to try and do something for me each night - even if it's jsut sitting to read for 15 minutes.

Thanks everyone!
