FIRST WEEK EVALUATION:
Effects of change in food:
* I seem to be hipper all of the time. Almost like when I was on a high dose of prednisone. I am not sure what is causing it.
*Dave is getting headaches and unable to sleep well. Fawn will be reevaluating his food to make sure he is getting enough.
* I am very sore from exercise! I have starting taking more pain pills. I am worried about my back and neck.
Good things that happened:
* We cleaned out our house of all the bad foods and replaced it with good.
*Since that first day I have not had any Splenda- and certainly no chocolate! I am not having any withdrawal symptoms. This is huge! In the past I would have shaking, crying jags and be lightheaded!
* Dave has had no diet pop at all!!
*We have been able to stick to food plan easily and everyone in the family loves the food!
*Our family is eating meals together and talking and sharing like we have not done in a long time.
*We got calls for shows that gave us money to replace the groceries. They called on Thursday and Friday for Sunday. That does not normally happen...God is blessing us for making the right choices.
* Dave and I are taking walks and spending time sharing our hearts with each other. We are becoming a team working together! It is awesome!
