Week 1 - Day 4

Breakfast: Salad with peaches in place of strawberries. Very good.


Lunch: French fries and bites of the crust of David's calzone, carrots sticks and broccoli.

Dinner:  Out to dinner with two of my dearest friends.  Olive Garden salad, breadstick, and Ravioli di Portabello

Thoughts:

Not a perfect day, by any means.  The lunch thing really through me off.  David brought home some lunch to have with his parents who had stopped by for a visit.  I just went with it.  I told him to get me french fries because it was the best I could come up with on a short notice from the pizza place.

Out to dinner, I had intended to just have soup and salad. But then I realized I was out to CELEBRATE and I wanted to have something just a little bit special.  The mushroom ravioli was quite good and I'm really happen I ordered it.

And I got in a walk today! Unexpectedly, but my friends and I headed to a park after dinner and took a short stroll on a nature trail there.  That was really nice.  Especially after spending all day buried in piles and messes in my house. So refreshing to get outside and enjoy some great company and the beautiful evening.

Heading to bed early tonight, if I can.  Day two of my cycle and I'm feel pretty tired.  I'm glad to report that I'm not struggling as much as I was a few months back. My cycles are shorter by a few days and I'm not getting as heavy a flow as I was before.  I'm also not having to stay in bed for the first two days because of fatigue.  All good things. I'm quite confident that cleaning up my diet is helpful in this as my body is learning how to regulate.
