Sorry it's been so long...I don't know if anyone is still checking in. I guess it's been a very busy March.
I definitely fell off the wagon the past couple weeks. I travelled, then got really sick, then had company and was very busy so the whole foods went by the wayside. And it wasn't pretty. It's yucky. I am at a place where my mouth tells me to eat junk, but my body is not used to it and it feels terrible. One week me and the kids were home alone for 2 weeks with influenza. One day I just could not muster up the energy to make anything or go shopping so I got everyone in the car and we went thru the Arby's Drive-thru. It was disgusting. It wasn't even good. Even the kids were like "YUCK!"
Then we had company who brought forbidden foods. At that point when the stuff is in my house, I tend to just eat it...I have no willpower. If someone leaves us pop, I drink it.
Well, finally all of it is gone, and I have a choice to make. I think I need to stay with the whole foods.
Justin has been doing really well the past month and re-committing to whole foods. He is going all the way, eliminating commercial dairy, bread, etc. For him, he can't do the "mostly" thing. If I bake bread, he doesn't stop at eating 1 slice. He just has to forgo all of it. So he immediately lost weight again and feels better. I think once you start eating well, you can digress, but it's not pretty for your body. I just wish it were easier. It's like being an alcoholic that has to live, eat, and sleep in a bar, surrounded by partiers 24/7. Food is hard to escape.
I am doing a partial fast today to pray for my friend Crystal and our neighbor, baby Max.
I am also trying to get thru the Biblical Health Institute Bible Eating program so I can teach it.
