I am not feeling very good this morning. I have a headache, a bit of brain fog, my face is breaking out and my stomach is in knots and it is all my fault. I was a pretty bad cheat this weekend. I was immersed in another weekend of socializing which again set me back on the candida diet. I spent a good portion of the weekend with my dear friend and neighbor Dominique since the kids were with Dad. Dominique and I kind of made a pact this year to get out into the world and see and do more. We are both single and looking for that special someone and have realized that sitting in our houses is not really going to help us accomplish this goal. I have to say that Dominique has taken most of the initiative and has invited me out several times since the beginning of the year. Since I have been going to a lot of functions with him I am starting to become friendly with a lot of the people in his circle. The problem is that they are mostly men. I know that this may not seem like a problem since I am trying to meet someone but a lot of these interactions center around eating really bad food. Most guys I meet eat horribly and it is hard to request finding a place to eat that is candida diet friendly. I don’t really want to start explaining what a yeast free diet to these men. I am really not sure how to navigate through this but I feel like if I don’t get a handle on it now I will continue to do this yo-yo candida dieting, which I know is not productive. On a good note exercising has been going really well. I walked 6 miles last week while my daughter had track practice and I did get to shoot some hoops this weekend. I am so happy to be exercising again. Well, I am ready to start the week off on a good note by adhering to the candida diet and am looking forward to feeling better as the week goes on.
