The good and the bad

I don't know why I am surprised, but I really am. I am starting to feel better after a week spent cleaning sugar, caffeine, dairy and gluten out of diet.  There were several days where I felt like I had the flu...aching all over, sick to my stomach, headache.  But now that I feel a little better, it helps motivate me to stay focused.  A big help for me has been that I got rid of all of the foods in my frig and cupboards before I started that had any of the ingredients I wanted to eliminate. Why oh why was there sugar in my can of black beans?  Still in the process of restocking, but I can see that a big key to being successful will be to make sure that I have healthy alternatives available. I am deliberately choosing to just focus on one day, one week at a time.

My mom and dad live several hours away. My mom has osteoporosis and is 80 years old. Yesterday, she tripped over a cord and fell. Hard. She broke a couple of ribs and suffered a compression fracture in her spine. I cried when I heard. She is in the Hospital recovering and I am unable to be there for her. That is very hard.  I want to see her, but can't. So I pray...
