This picture pretty much sums up how my Easter went on the candida diet. It all seemed like such a fun idea at the time but 3 Peep bunnies in, I knew I was in trouble. I am not going to bother with the excuses because there are many. The bottom line is I have not been a consistent candida dieter for the last few weeks and my body is definitely feeling it. I really feel like crap again and I am a little upset at myself for letting things get so bad again, so quickly.
The kids are on spring break this week so we are heading out of town on Thursday morning to see my grandmother. I don’t know if this will be a good or a bad idea in terms of candida dieting but I am welcoming the change of scenery for a few days. Hopefully a little break from the same old stuff will help me to get back on task next week. I am not giving up, I think I just need to recommit myself. I am going to do the best I can to stay on the diet while I am away so that I can start to feel better again soon. I have to find out if there is a crockpot at my Grandmother’s house and if not I will pack mine. This should help me create yeast free meals easily while we are away. A quick stop at the grocery store when we reach our destination should do for 3 days. I can probably even bring some of the stuff with us. The trip is about 3 hours each way so I will pack some candida diet and allergy friendly snacks for the car since fast food will not be an option. I know I can do this. Wish me luck!
