Hey, today I am still fighting a cold/sinus thing and not feeling so great physically. My dad says it may have something to do with getting the A/C fixed in my car and using it almost daily. It's hot here! Anyway, my brother's fiance was baptised today and we went out to eat afterward to a Mexican restaurant. This is my second time going out to eat since beginning this protocol and both were during this phase 3. I ordered a combo dinner and ate one thing off of it, the chili rellenos. I know, they have some batter on them, but I picked some of that off, and it tasted good. I am remaining steady at approximately 1 pound over LIW and I am very happy with these results so far.

I don't know how well I am doing with getting the calories I am suppose to have in a day. I have not been hungry really at all. I eat because I know I am suppose to, which is a big improvement over how it use to be that I would eat because there was food and it just looked good. I don't remember feeling full before this diet as much as I do now and I certainly could put away a lot more food back then. So much has changed in the past couple of months since this all began! I am aware that there are critics out there, but I am a full advocate of this diet! This has been a real answer to prayer. My body feels better and I have a healthier self-image. My eating habits have improved and I am more aware of what I am putting in my mouth and on the table for my family. Organic, as much as possible, is definitely the way to go! Even my kids (2 teenage boys, very large with appetites to match) are happy with what this protocol is doing for me and them. I am so thankful for my twin sister sharing this information with me and tipping me off to this challenge. I will be forever grateful to all who have made this possible! You may think I'm sappy, but right now I am so happy that I am crying Joy Tears! This has changed my life.
