Day 4: well, it seems to be getting easier. The worst part is food preparation. This Sunday, I need to do a lot of prep work so that I can make salads easily and ideally, the night before. This afternoon (and even now) I still have a bit of a headache. The caffeine withdraw was worst on Tuesday but I think today was also bad. Mike made dinner. It was great. A huge salad with roasted butternut squash and sauteed black bean and peppers. I actually could not eat it all. He ate the final probably half cup of my salad.
I'm still tempted. Mike made the kids a Totino's pizza tonight. I easily could have eaten the half they did not eat. And I really wanted a Diet Coke earlier. That part is hard.
One thing nice that happened was that a friend said that I looked a lot better. She said I had been looking "gray" which I agree with, my color was off. She said my color looks a lot better. That made me feel good. I really hope that these changes will make a big difference in my health. It just isn't fun feeling sick all the time.
One thing I am struggling with is what to feed the kids. Obviously, they are not eating the same diet as we are. I wish they would. Since I am eating completely vegetarian right now, the kids are not interested in most of what I am eating. I need to figure out something to do for them. I cannot feed them pizza and macaroni and cheese for the next six weeks. But I also don't think that they will agree to eat what I am eating. They are good eaters but they don't like all veggies.
