Well, I'm feeling lousy. Everyday stress & a child's birthday have not helped my giving up sugar & eating better efforts. I'd love to juice again but have not even pulled my juicer out! I liked juicing, but didn't really feel it made a difference in my health (even though I'm sure it was good for me). I would like to start again, mostly because it was really helpful to me last time in transitioning into giving up other things, such as wheat. Once I get going I think I'll be able to go more into an SCD type diet, which was very healing for me before I became pregnant with the twins. It was tough though; yeast die off is real! Going through that helped me experience a little of what my children go through, so I could understand the crazy behaviors a lot better!

I'm concerned about daily life while healing. Last time I felt so off balance with the die off, & I can't take activated charcoal while nursing, so I'm going to have to stick it out somehow. I'm going to stay with a better probiotic this time so maybe that will help.

I have a new book coming in about some "superfoods"; it also lists how many times a week they should be eaten, ideally. It looked interesting & from the little I read nothing I hadn't really heard before, but I liked the idea of a guide. Most of the foods are not SCD "legal", so I'm not sure which way I'll go, but I could use that as a transition too, then maybe do SCD for a while to try to heal the gut, & as I can tolerate them go back to the "superfoods" little by little.

More on that when it comes in...for now I'd like to give up the sugar again & somehow have to stick out the horrible withdrawal, yet again! I'm going to try to keep in mind this is best for the babies; I can usually do things better if it's for the kids & not just for me.
