I am really having a hard time writing my candida diet menu for the week right now but I am trying to force myself to so that I can start the week off ready to go. I had kind of a profound weekend and have really been mulling over my interaction with several people this weekend. The biggest thing that happened was a reunion of sorts with some friends from middle school. It was a sureal experience and I am still dealing with a lot of the old memories that the experience stirred up. Many of those memories were good but many not so good and I am trying to reconcile the two. I don’t regret that I met with my old friends. I am actually really happy and had a great time. We were really good friends once upon a time and it was great to see how everyone has grown and changed. One of my friends brought some pictures of all of us from 1993. I was only 13 then and it was so crazy looking at my 13 year old self. I lost a lot of my photos and such when my family moved out of my childhood apartment in 1999 so it was great to see some pictures of me from this time period. I scanned them all.
I have also been trying to socialize more as this is the year that I promised myself I would start dating again. Dating however has not been going so well. There is a lot of hanging out, talking and laughing, but I am not clear if I have made it to dating yet. If I don’t know I guess I haven’t yet. Well I am just going to try to make it past this pre-dating awkwardness and see what happens. I guess the point is just to have a good time and not have any expectations.
So what about me and the candida diet? I am sure that you have gathered from all of the socializing that I have been doing that I have been a disgrace to the candida diet. It is true, I have been terrible and I am unsure of what to do about it. I rock the candida diet during the week but as soon as I go out on the weekend it is over. I did okay last night as I actually ate before I went out so this helped a bit but I did have a drink. I went bowling so I thought malt liquor would be most appropriate and had a Mike’s Hard Cranberry Lemonade. I know this is horrible and I have plenty of symptoms today to remind me of the poor choices I made throughout the weekend. I am so frustrated with this diet when I am out. I just feel like it is impossible to adhere to it when out especially if you are just floating around and really have no plan of where you are going to end up eating. It just sucks! Well I am ready to again have a good week and just try to plan better on the weekend. Have a great week!
