Day Five

1/1/2010
My first time to write/type "2010" and it is hard to believe the old year has passed! Today was my best day yet with no headache, no irritability and no weakness. I felt quite strong actually and managed to get some housework completed and shopping.

My sister bought "Julia and Julia" for my Christmas present and tonight we watched the DVD. I am not sure if it was a good idea since I felt myself salivating throughout most of the film! Like visiting a bar as an alcoholic! Not surprisingly, the desserts brought on the most juices. :) It was inspiring though to see two women, in totally different eras, embrace what they loved most and in spite of difficulty pursue their dreams. I love that movie and I want to buy Julia Child's cookbook too.

I slept in some this holiday and so I didn't eat until about 10 am. Breakfast was Egg Beater's southwest style scrambled eggs with some of the fixings from last night's taco salad. Yummy! Lunch around 1:30 was light because breakfast stuck with me. I had some cottage cheese and a bowl of steamed broccoli. Mid afternoon I had a few almonds. Tonight we had taco salad again which tasted just as good as the night before. Drank extra water to help with some of the bloating-my system is just not use to all this fiber but it will adjust. I had a terrible sweet tooth about 2 hours after dinner. Thanks more to the stimulating from watching Julia & Julia than any true craving but I tried a sugar free Werther's original candy with 2.8 grams of carbs I figured I could pull it off since I didn't have any carbs with my dinner.

Happy to report that I more than survived day five! Good night!
