Yes it has been a long time. In between jury duty and storage training I have been actively avoiding people asking me about my diet. I have even avoided answering phone calls from family. How do you explain after awhile you just do not want to talk about food. Now that I am approaching the end of this diet I feel so much better. Today I am excited about going home and eating some noodle soup and broccoli. From here on out it is a meal a day to get my stomach back in the habit of eating. I started this last week and it has been a joy and a curse. The joy is actually chewing something. The curse is that your body is completely out of the habit of processing food.
I have also noticed that I do not like the taste of some things like I use to. On Friday I had some beef for the first time in 2 months and I really did not enjoy it that much. Chicken has a better taste but I have to say so far it is seafood that is the best to eat. In my soups I will put some shrimp in or an egg and the taste is amazing. I however am still juicing. I do not think I will ever stop juicing. It is almost like an elixir of life. I feel great and if I do not feel like cooking in the future a little juice goes a long way.
Now I am trying to concentrate on eating going forward. Fruits and veggies are a given but I need to work out what I like and what is easy to make for a life on the go. Honestly we all have to start thinking about heart health and our own well being as we go into another stage of life. If I could go vegan I would however I like my meats. I may not do meat every day but I can see myself doing it once and awhile.
