Day 4 & 5

My dad informed me this morning that I have gotten behind on my blog. So here is a recap of Thursday and Friday.

Thursday (day 4) was a shopping day for me, off to find more goodies that I can eat! I was so excited when I found Cinnamon chex!! I figured since they were gluten free that they would be fine, well I was wrong. After eating 2 bowls of it I realized that they contain milk and soy! So that really stinks!! Chris likes them so at least they wont go to waste. I also took a stab at altering a recipe to try a different taste. I took my banana bread recipe and used applesauce and added cinnamon to it to make a loaf of apple cinnamon bread! It was pretty good! Although my dad's comment on it after he tried it was, "well, I guess if that is all you can eat then it is OK" So my verdict is if you are not gluten intolerant, you can not fully enjoy gluten free bread!
Another thing I also learned on Thursday was.....Never go to Costco hungry when you can't eat any of the sample food!!! What torture that was!!! Lesson learned.

Friday (day 5) nothing new and exciting to report today. Although I did enjoy some pretty amazing Salmon tonight!!! For those of you who do not know, Costco has the BEST fresh Alaskan Salmon!!! I just got to figure out something better to go with it than baked potatoes, Baked potatoes for lunch and dinner day after day is getting getting old.

Another great plus of this anti-inflammatory diet, it not only will I start feeling better soon, but I have dropped 5 pounds in just 5 days by just cutting out all the darn processed and junk food!!!

So 2 days left and I will have made it a week with sticking pretty strictly to this plan. I have made a few oops on the diet, but only out of ignorance, not because I couldn't stand strong. I will continue to give this a fair try. Since western medicine has failed in controlling my allergies and stomach issues I will give this a fair try to see if it works!!
