Home again, home again, jiggety jig...

Home again, home again like a fat pig.  That's how I feel tonight.  After Chocolate chip muffins for breakfast, Wendy's for lunch, and lots of dark chocolate covered almonds I should feel like a fat pig. I left Georgia at 6 am and arrived home at about 1:30.  It was an uneventful trip thankfully.  I am always a little nervous traveling alone with three kids.  I hate the thought of getting a flat tire or having car trouble and being stuck on the highway with three children to be responsible for.  I pray a lot!

We had a great visit in Georgia, we always do but I have to say there is no place like home.  I love my house, my cute little town, my bed, and the list goes on.  If only my family would move here it would be perfect.  

So, tomorrow I start the first week of my four week experiment.  I have a host of minor health issues--psoriasis, sebhorric dermatitis on my scalp, an arthritic finger, achy hips, and plantar fascitis in both feet.  My chiropractor has told me that I have a  very inflamed body.  So, after some research by Kiwi--I've decided to try an anti-inflammatory diet.  The hardest part will be no sugar and no artificial sweeteners.  The hardest thing to give up will be Caramel Macchiatos--my favorite!  The other things aren't so bad--the main ones are no beef, no pork, no white pasta, or white bread, nothing fried, and no peanuts.  I made a menu today that included whole grains, vegetables, and chicken.  I won't have to starve but will have to plan.  I figure in four weeks I should have some idea of whether or not it is helping.  If it is then I will need to continue keeping these things out of my diet but can have a cheat every once in a while.  I am hoping that in addition to having these issues cleared up I might also lose some weight.  We'll see... If you are a praying person pray for me to be nice during the sugar withdrawal.
