I Can Breathe!

Yay! Scale finally showed 1 lb. loss today!! Doesn't matter that hubby has now lost close to 10 lbs....no, of course not....grrrrrrrr. Still, am feeling good. Other than not sleeping enough last night, I felt great today. I am not feeling the sugar sluggishness that I normally do, plus - a tremendously good side effect: my sinuses are not irritated whatsoever for the first time in 10 years!! I can take nice long deep breaths through my nose - wow!!
At first I thought it was due to the fact that I cut out all sugars, but I had done that before without the same results. Then, after speaking to a good friend today, my theory has changed. I think it's due to the complete cutting off of dairy products. Son #1 should try that sometime - he's keeping a few milk and cheese factories alive, but has pretty bad seasonal allergies. Come to think of it, he often sounds congested. Hmm.... it might be worth a try!
I am not hungry, but I have to admit I am getting awfully excited about the 'day off' on Saturday. I don't think I'll be doing much of anything except eating. So many foods, so little time! Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, small poutine, dark chocolate truffles, pasta au gratin - with garlic bread.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm 3 more sleeps!!

  2. My friend's brother had allergies, asthma, etc - in other words was always congested - and he and his family made the big switch to cut out dairy products. ever since that change, he no longer suffers from any of that. Plus I do remember hearingéreading about it before. Interesting, huh!
