Oh boy, what a day it has been! I feel like I have been run over by a truck! A big truck at that! When the girls came in my room this morning to say they were ready for breakfast I just wanted to pull the blankets over my head and sleep!
I did eventually pull myself out of bed and made some eggs and hash browns for the family. I had a scrambled egg beaters on a corn tortilla. I managed to clean up the kitchen, sweep and mop, and do laundry! The best part of all, I got a 2 hour nap! Let me tell you I still feel quite tired and run down...can't wait for it to be bedtime!
Tonight I made a batch of weight watcher mini chocolate chip cookies for the family...I added some peanut butter to them tonight too! I admit I did take a "taste" of the dough. I thought I little taste won't make a big difference, right? After all, there isn't much sugar in them and just a small amount of chocolate. Well, I was wrong! That little "taste" was not a good idea! It seemed as is almost immediately I gut expanded...like bread dough rising! YUCK! That was enough for me...I will be staying to the plan of no yeast or sugar very closely!
I did manage to make a yummy dinner to end the day! I tried a new recipe from weight watchers. Chicken Tostadas! I had to make a few modifications for me, but they were a huge hit with everyone! I will definitely be making them again!
I guess even though I wanted to just stay in bed today, it was a pretty good day! I didn't get a workout in, but I needed some rest too! Hopefully tomorrow will be a great day! Day 4 of no yeast, sugar, coffee....

Time for a Major Change in How I Eat!!
Today I went to the Doctor...he specializes in allergy and wellness. I have been struggling with acne for several years now along with back pain, headaches...the list goes on. He started me on a few different supplements, but the most eye opening this is the yeast-free diet! He gave me the book Back to Health A Comprehensive Medical and Nutritional Yeast Control Program.
(here is something from the book)
Anxious, depressed, and can't remember things? Do you suffer with heartburn, indigestion, gas, and pain or diarrhea? Do you crave sugar, chocolate or alcohol? Is weight control a constant battle for you? Are you tired, weak, sore all over, and do you have trouble just making it through the day? Do you have: emotional problems, poor memory, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity, food cravings, acid indigestion, mistrust, tired muscles, psoriasis, heart burn, asthma, confusion, bloating, depression, headaches, menstrual problems, sore throat, trouble concentration, rash, panic, hives, nausea, gas, acne, food sensitivities, ineffective work habits, lethargey, indigestion, migraines, irritability, thrush, cough, anxiety, eczema, low self esteem, sleep disturbance, easily angered, skin infections, sinus pressure, pms, chemical sensitivities, loss of interest, diarrhea, fatigue, gastritis, cystitis, muscle stiffness, vaginal yeast infections, fussy thinking muscle cramps, irrational fears, constipation, intestinal pain, weight gain?
If you suffer from these, this book is for you! While yeast occurs naturally in the body, it is generally harmless at controlled levels. When out of control, however, it becomes the body's enemy. Producing toxins that can affect organs and cells in all parts of the body, it can manifest itself in dozens of symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose. Getting back under control can correct many conditions that were once considered chronic, such as hypoglycemia, depression, insomnia, anxiety, and arthritis.
The book is written by Dennis W. Remington, M.D. and Barbara Higa Swasey, R.D.
So as I travel down the road of Yeast-Free eating, I will keep you up-to-date on the progress. I will try to include recipes and food ideas for others that wish to follow such diet!
