Hello friends. It’s been a while since my last post. I have good news: I have returned to practicing massage therapy part-time. So I have two jobs now, and with only one day off/week, I have less time to tend to food. Thank God I went through my health and dietary transition when I had more time. I am more comfortable with my diet and the changes I made have become habits now. On the other hand, my NT “adherence” has softened a bit. I have had to make more compromises. I still read labels, but I do sometimes have store-bought mayo or an bag of nuts off the shelf. Also, with the time crunch, I have noticed that the first thing to go is the veggies. It is much easier to grab that peice of cheese or the hard boiled egg….. I am having to make a greater effort to get my greens.
The sweet tooth is back! It kind of snuck up on me. I was so vigilant, I didn’t realize how vulnerable I was. One day I am sugar-free and the next thing I know, I am addicted to my daily handfull of chocoalte covered almonds. I ran out the other day and am literally scouring the house for something sweet that isn’t there.
Overall, I know I am better off than before I initiated my dietary changes, cutting way back on carbs and following Nourishing Traditions. I am learning to be adaptable and not to stress too critically over not being able to do things the way I know they could ideally be done.
On a fun note, as it is summer where I live, I have been able to harvest some cucumbers and make fermented pickles! It was a fun project for my mom and I. It will be hard to wait for the flavors to deveolp before chomping down on them. (I hope the whey I used was OK: It had started to get a little tangy….)
