Way too tired!!!

Hey Everyone, I'm totally cheating. I am copying my entry from the accountability class I'm taking at marilu.com. I'm really tired and going to bed right after dinner. Talk to you all later!!!

Dear Diary,

I am pooped! I had a great day with my son's class on a field trip. We drove two hours, walked for four (there were also lots of stairs involved - 182 just at the state capital building alone) hours and drove home for two hours. Let me tell you. Fourth grade girls can be every bit as gross, if not more, than fourth grade boys! The only thing I didn't like was that the tour guides seem to be rushing us through every thing. I've never been early returning from a field trip before.

Funny story. We got to the state library/museum to start our day, and there was a big problem! The building had been shut down for a ruptured steam pipe in a section under construction! There were fire trucks everywhere, and we couldn't even park in the lot. We had to wait until the all clear was sounded to leave the parking spots we found on the street to get going half an hour later.

One thing I'm learning is to listen to my body. I packed lots of healthy snacks and water for us. However, I think I've been having too much meat lately and too much sugar. I know I'm having too much fat. I'm getting some of the symptoms from when I was really sick, and that's what it normally means. I'm not eating badly, fish or chicken, I don't add refined sugar, and I'm definitely not eating anything fried. However, even on THM, 25 grams of fat adds up quickly. So, tomorrow (I'm passing out after dinner) I will be sitting down and refiguring my menus. I need at least five days without meat to get the inflamation down. If ever there was a time to go vegetarian...

Well, I have a few more hours with the heating pad, and I'm going to bed. My support partner, DH, went to pick up some food. He and the kids went over my selections for me to make sure there was no meat and that it was on my approved list. My family is my biggest support. They saw me at my most ill, and are determined to never see me that sick again. I have another bottle of water to get through tonight too. I'm thinking I might do a liver cleanse, since that's where my health problems are coming from. I got the idea from Marilu's book. That's food for thought and prayer.

Now, if I could just live down DS telling all of his class how I used to burn Barbie dolls and stuff Ken dolls with fireworks...
