I swear I heard the Hallelujah chorus when I typed in those numbers. It's still not even a whole pound at a time, but I'm NOT COMPLAINING UNIVERSE(don't punish me)! I've just been making more conscious eating choices. Plus, the whole no refined sugar isn't hurting either. It is the end of the month, and yesterday I was frankly too busy to think about overeating.

I wanted to be like wholefoodnut and cook some food to have handy in my freezer. I thought I would start with empanadas. I've never made vegetarian empanandas before so I was just playing around with ingredients. I found a recipe that used refrigerated biscuit dough, and I thought, I've never made my own biscuits, I'll give that a try. I found a recipe, made the filling, rolled out the dough, baked them in the oven, and almost died. They were so SALTY! Oh my gosh they were horrible. I went back to the recipe, and I have no idea how, I'm blaming being tired, but the recipe called for 3/4 tsp of salt and I added 3 tsp. Sadly they were perfect other than that. Slightly crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, and 100% pure evil all over. No mind, I shall try again! I will not be beat.

Today is day 10 of no sugar. I've been doing surprisingly well. I've had to smack off temptation from fancy cookies (ironically the day after dairyfarmerswife posted about fancy cookies at her work, someone brought fancy cookies to the restaurant I work at, no kidding). I resisted taking a sip of the girlfriend's soda. Yesterday, there were donuts at the restaurant. DONUTS! I was good! I asked my coworker how his was, and he said it wasn't that great, there was no filling. THAT'S RIGHT IT WASN'T THAT GOOD! HA! I find the anticipation of a donut far outweighs the actual eating of a donut. I still like donuts though. sigh. I think I just channeled Homer Simpson for a second. I'm ok now.

I decided I was overdoing the anti-candida treatments, and that is probably why I felt so bad on Tuesday. I cut back to just the oregano oil, and will probably add salt water rinse back in today. I have been feeling much better. My eyes have been red and puffy all week. Not sure if that is due to die off or allergies. Still having some issues with my throat I hope clears up eventually.

My route is changing. My one stop way down south in Amish country is closing. Sad face. I actually enjoyed that drive. It really didn't make a lot of money. They are adding a stop on the way to my other stop way up north in no man's land. Hopefully that store will do well and make me some more money. That starts next week. I love getting to see so many interesting things while driving around for work. For all you bargain shoppers, I passed a cemetery in the country that was advertising a buy one, get one free deal. They must be going out of business. O_O

As far as my vegetarian group, just waiting on the official date so I can start printing some flyers. The first date I picked turned out to be Mother's day. Probably not a great day to start.

That's all from my planet. Stay strong people!

Just had a meeting about my vegetarian group. The official name is the "C-U Area Vegetarian Group". YAY! It's going to be starting in May, only because the event program is already printed up through April. That gives me 3 months to get all the details hammered out, and build excitement, and get people interested. I plan to start a facebook page, a meet up event (or whatever they are called), and I want to plaster the area with flyers.

If anyone else has ideas on how to build interest in a group I'm all ears!

In other news, feeling better. Gained 1/2 lb while I was sick. SERIOUSLY!!? I'm the only person in the world who can gain weight while sick.

Today hoping to do some cooking for the freezer. Wholefoodnut you are my inspiration. Wish me luck.

Woah mama I don't feel good! I never get sick. I'm having some kind of digestive area issue. honestly have no idea what to call it other than evil. I am not enjoying it. Currently I'm sitting in the foyer of a grocery store hopefully waiting for the zantac I took to kick in. I'm hoping this is a symptom of candida die off because if it's not it means I'm dying. I would be whining, but I'm all alone and whining only works if there is someone there to be annoyed by it. Guess I was doing a little whining right there.

Today is day 5 of no sugar. Last night I was very itchy all over. Thought it might be dry skin, but it stopped without me doing anything about it. Did the oregano oil last night. Coconut oil and saltwater gargle again this morning,and now I'm dying. I'd love to be home in bed whining, but I'm not even in the same county as my bed right now. I haven't taken a sick day in years. Come on zantac! Somebody please kill me.

Today is day 4 of no refined sugars/candida killing. So far so good. I'm trying to do this in small stages so I don't have a lot of candida die off symptoms. I still haven't told myself I'm giving up sugar so no real cravings yet. Eyes are watery today, not sure if that is a result of die off or not. Rinsed mouth and garggled with salt water after brushing my teeth, had about a tablespoon of coconut oil, and tonight I am going to use some oil of oregano. I still need to get some kind of probiotic.

It's coming off the hard way, but at least it's coming off. Probably should have been more, but I've been eating too much salt. I got some nu-salt, but I keep forgetting I got it.

IMPORTANT DIET TIP:
DON'T eat 5 pinto bean tacos. You're welcome.

You don't understand. I was raised on tacos. My dad's family is from Texas, and I haven't had a decent taco in a year, ever since I became a vegetarian. I try not to eat too much fake meat. I had some left over pinto beans that I just started adding things to, first it morphed into a soup, but I didn't want soup, so I added rice, but I didn't feel like beans and rice. I added soy sauce, slapped those puppies in a taco shell, added cucumber, cheese, and hot sauce. Oh my gosh I was a twelve year old girl looking at a picture of a teddy bear holding a unicorn with rainbows coming out of it's horn. IT WAS SO GOOD! I need to write down everything I dumped in there. Best part was I did it all in the crock pot. THE PROBLEM was I had 5. 5! This was Thursday, then Friday for lunch I had leftovers. Then Saturday, I had... "I'm ready for my colonoscopy Mr DeMille".

I stopped eating sugar. I just didn't tell myself. I figured if I told myself I would crave sugar, so I didn't tell myself. It's been since Thursday I think. I'm actually doing better than I thought. I just have to make sure I don't find out I gave it up. This is where my post for sugar rehab came from.

The problem with giving up sugar is, whether I like it or not, I'm going through withdrawal. I have been tired! and moody! and grumpy! and tired! and unmotivated! and today I was really depressed. I was at work and something make me think of an incident I had with a teacher in middle school and I almost started crying. WHAT??? I can only chalk it up to sugar withdrawal. That or I'm losing my mind. Could be either I suppose.
