Well,
We have successfully completed 2 weeks today of our dietary experimenting (again, if anyone wants to read about it, you can go here ). I am going to keep this short and sweet because...I'm hangry. Yes, I just used the word that I only know from my brother in law Chris, the combination of hungry and angry. Perhaps it is a well known word but I just attribute it to Chris. :) ANYWAY. Because I am hangry, I don't feel like writing much. So, just a brief update on how we're doing.
1. We have not cheated. Ok, I take that back...Joshua has not cheated....I have...once. It was for a burger and fries with a friend. I had to. I just did. It was good. But I got right back on the bandwagon, and yeahhhhhh.
2. We have found some french fries at a restaurant that are made in 100% olive oil, are organic potatoes and are DELICIOUS. We may have eaten a few rounds of those. Ok, Joshua has eaten them once. Me, twice. As you can tell, there seems to be a theme starting here of "Joshua is doing better than Sarah" (by just a bit).
3. Still enjoying the recipes we have found or come up with, still feeling over all satisfied with meals, just...still....CRAVING all the THINGS. You know....the P word, the C word, the I word, the...(oh, those letters stand for pizza, cookies and ice cream just fyi).
4. As far as "are we feeling better?" from eating so healthy? The answer is NO. Not yet anyway. I don't know if it just is going to take at least 2 weeks to detox and our bodies to adjust but here's the quick list update on us both:
JOSHUA:
-Still exhausted, slightly weak at times
-No energy.
- Still not getting the same food crashes after meals that he was getting before we started this thing, so that's a plus.
SARAH:
-Increased bloating (like woah momma, are you a MOMMA again?) every day all day it seems.
-Rashes. Rash rash rash rash rash aspodifu paosidufp oiaudsfpiu stinking rash. All over. Hives. I have inflamed swelling itchy patches, tiny bumps that appear all throughout the day in different places. Eyes, inside ears, neck, chest, fingers and toes esp, the palm of my hand, stomach...yeah. rash. The first week I felt pretty good, the second this started up. I had a little of the same rash before the experiment but it was far more sporadic.
-Decent energy but lots of body weakness
-HUGE bags/puffy eyes (pollen?)
Ok, so I just spent more time on my symptoms and how I feel, but if Joshua were suffering from rashes too, I would have paid him the rash homage on an extra bullet point as well.
What are we going to do for the last two weeks? STICK WITH IT, Lord willing. We really want to finish this through until the end, even though we really REALLY want pizza. I think the last few weeks may be more helpful than the first two as in the beginning we are still getting all the bad out of our system and getting adjusted. I am also going to try to not eat nuts (almonds) just in case, to see if things die down in the itch department. I'm thinking likely it is still Candida issues for me.
So. I hope this update doesn't discourage. Hoping next week will reveal more positive fruits. FRUITS. hah. nice. Pun unintended, but I felt the need to point it out once I realized it could be punny. Cus...you know...all we are eating lately are stinkin' FRUITS. Ok, anyway (ahem), I think my hanger has turned into a crazy loopy sarah-needs-to-stop-typing-now situation. With that....I'm out!
