Lo-Carb/SCD Day 1

I'm trying again. I'm a morning person, so when I wake up in the morning I feel that I can accomplish anything (ok, within reason). My husband has been notified that by the end of October the computer department in his company will be outsourced to a company based in India, so he will be out of a job. This news has caused him to start his bi-polar spiraling again. All four of my children are home from school for the summer - and leaving chaos in their wake. Everything seems to be spinning out of control, so I'm going to take control of this one little thing - my diet.

So far this morning I have had Steak and Eggs for breakfast (minute steak, slice of Colby-Jack cheese and a fried egg on top), grape juice (50% water), and a glass of water. Now I just have to get through the rest of the day.

"Duh" moment

I woke up this morning feeling good. Not feeling drugged, not having to drag myself out of bed (okay, maybe a little - but it was 6:30am), and wondering why I was actually awake. Then later reading the Feingold BB someone posted about gluten making them feel depressed. DUH! I'm two days into lo-carbing again (during which I stay grain-free), no wonder I'm feeling better! I find it amazing that when I'm in the midst of brain fog I can't even recognize it. So why can't I keep going with my diet? You'd think that would be motivation enough! Sigh.
