6 Weeks

I have no FBS report today because I ran out of strips!  I get my medical supplies in Bambang but it has been raining lately.  Maybe if the weather is better tomorrow, Hermie can get me what I need.

I have just concluded 6 weeks of being wheat-free!  I did not even notice it has been a month and a half already.  So... 6 weeks of:

• No bread
• No pasta 
• No pancit (my favorite)
• No pizza
• No ice cream
• No soda
• No potatoes
• No breading mix
• No MSG
• No bouillon cubes
• No pastries
• No CHEETOS JALAPENO or RUFFLES SOUR CREAM AND CHEDDAR (my ultimate sacrifice)
• No pancake or waffles
• No fast food
• NO siopao
• No Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs (another favorite)
• NO ham
• No bacon
• No gravy
• No Knorr Seasoning or sinigang mix

There are a lot of food that I have removed from my diet.  If you look at the list, it is mostly made up of delicious yummy snacks we really do not need but I know it makes us happy.

What I realized is that the most important aspect of adapting a healthier lifestyle is preparing one's own food because you get to control what you put in it.

Food Diary:

I did not eat dinner anymore, I was still full from my last meal.  I could not even drink the milk I bought, I was planning of just having that for supper.
