Allergy Elimination Diet Day 1

Not a great way to start this diet, with a cold.  Hopefully it will end quickly.  Other than the horrible headache (again I think from the cold) it hasn't been too bad.  Didn't eat until after 10am because I had a doctors appointment ( he finally is taking a look at my leg pain, xrays done).  I had an apple.  It is really hard to be out and eat anything with this diet.  Also prep work is a hassle.  I got home and made a smoothie with lots of yummy food.  Threw in some strawberries, bananas, blueberries, kale and spinach with some rice milk.  It was alot better than I thought it was. For lunch I had some brown rice, onion, cilantro, cumin and garlic and lastly for dinner I had some cabbage soup, no broth included.  The soup was a little bland but I prefer lack of flavor over bad flavor.  I slept a lot today, probably the combination of the cold and no caffeine.  So far the stomach issues are still coming and going, hoping to feel better soon.

Wahoos trip

Trying to consume less calories when going out so I chose my two favorites chicken tortilla soup and chips and salsa. First time since eating here did the salsa taste wrong.  Guess I consumed even less. Oh well snack time later?  I think so.

Recent college grad, trying to find work.  Before I finished school I always had my eye on the prize.  Doing what society deemed the correct path to follow, I always looked at the destination and did not fully appreciate the journey.  I have gotten lost and have to decided to focus on trying new things and diving deeper into things I already love to do.  Some things I love to do are travelings, arts and crafts, plays, being outdoors, photography and most of all cooking. Today I have been stuck in bed with horrible neck and shoulder pain.  Trying to figure out ways to make myself feel better and all I have gotten advice-wise is tumeric.  I am always open to trying new things so hoping for some success.  For now, sitting around watching all Season 7 of House waiting for the hubby to get home with dinner.  Will possibly be making some soup tonight.
