SCD - Day 5

Lord have mercy. . . I am so tired of this already :P This is REALLY tough. I am adding foods in probably a bit quicker than I should but I can hardly take it. The kids are probably managing better than me. . .

Yesterday was a really good day when we ate muffins. Today not so good. I am tired and uninspired to cook which is not good when you can only eat very well cooked foods. I did tell the kids that I'd make muffins again today (they LOVED the muffins made with almond meal). And I realized how high maintenance our food issues are -- a recipe is "easy" if I only have to change 2 items (substitute for butter, substitute for eggs). Of course, I knew how high maintenance we are but it really reminds me. And I LOVE using nut meals instead of Gluten Free flour - cheaper, yummier AND more nutritious :)

On a positive note, dd1's tummy is doing really well.

On a not so positive note, ds has rings under his eyes - he may be tired - he needs SO much sleep. . . and has been short on sleep this week.

We are still in stage 1 but will be entering stage 2 tomorrow - we just can't wait anymore and moving quickly through the stages is better for us than giving up entirely. Funny thing, the kids are more determined to stick to the diet than me :(

If this post is disjointed it's because I am EXHAUSTED.

Edited to add: I just had a family meeting to see if the kids want to quit - I do - no takers. Tempted to offer Taco Bell as insentive but . . . I am going to keep at it.
