Happy New Year

I decided today that I was going to be like every other person in the world today that is starting a diet. I am going to stuff myself full of all the foods that I am going to swear of eating tomorrow.

Ha.

Not quite. Almost though. I woke up today and immediately started drinking my water. Because I knew that it's going to be that one last night. That one last night where I am going to have cheese. That one last night where I am going to have pizza. And a root beer float for crying out loud. Because tomorrow is when I will be getting serious about getting rid of this yeast that seems to be in my body. And honestly, I haven't really pigged out today. I kinda feel like it because I haven't had cheese and bread in a couple of days, so by the time I had a late lunch (2 small bowls of velveeta dip with some tortilla chips and fritos) it was 2:30 and we ended up eating dinner super early at 4:30 today. So I wasn't quite hungry, but that pizza was hot. And dang it all if my sister wasn't being good and got the thin crust. So I figured if I got the water going early enough that I wouldn't feel so bloated later today or tomorrow. I mean it seems logical right?

I don't know how long I will be not eating dairy or gluten or yeast. It's really going to depend on how my body feels and if my feet start to clear up. If my feet show that they are clearing up then I will probably continue on the diet. I already know that I have an intolerance to gluten. I went off it for about 3 weeks earlier this year and I felt great after about the 1st week. I wasn't so bloated and gassy. It was great. So the sugar and the dairy are next.

It's going to be quite life-changing. I am going to have to learn to like new foods, since essentially this cuts out almost everything that I eat. I will be continuing to drink my latte in the morning with a little bit of milk. So I am not cutting milk out entirely, but pretty dang close. But if I have to stop that for a while I will do that too. I am here to get my body healthy.

So my goal is to blog every day that I am able in 2012. I know realistically there might be days when I am traveling and away from a computer. But for the most part, for my accountability, I want to blog every day.

Farewell 2011, Welcome 2012. It's going to be quite the year :)
