Update

So things continue to go well. I am mostly meat free however I do find myself opting for quick veggie foods more than I would like – like frozen things I just have to heat up. It could be a result of the heat or it could just be me searching for easy comfort food things and not having enough of a veggie repertoire yet. I anticipate this will change.

My potato soup proved very popular here and I only got 2 servings so I think I will make some more today. Here is the recipe in case anyone is interested:

3 large onions

10 potatos peeled (I used red)

some butter

a litre of light cream or so

Cook the onions in the butter until they are translucent. Add the potatos and enough water to cover them. Boil until the potatos are very soft. If you have too much water, pour some off, add the cream and heat.

That is it, very easy and delicious!

In other news, my IBS seems to have calmed down. Not sure what that is about but I will take it where I can get it!! LOL

Another good day…

Yesterday was another succesful day! Yippee for me. I am very pleased with how I am progressing towards my goals. I would like to say that I feel better but that is not the case as of yet. I had the worst attack of IBS I have ever had yesterday. I had pain all night, then all day. I finally had to dig into my leftover morphine supply to relieve it. I tried walking and moving around and that only made it worse. I think it was caused by the stress of this week: the roller-coaster of almost getting a job and then not getting it and the big fight with worksafe bc to get Deb covered for an injury she sustained at work. It was all very stressful. Today is much better.

change of plans for today…

Well, I definately will not be eating anything that has fibre in it today! I am paying big time for the daal from yesterday. Still not sure what else will be on the agenda for meals today as I am really not feeling well. I had a piece of toast with peanut butter for breakfast and then all hell broke loose.

We now have a guy here cleaning the carpets. He was having a hard time with the pictures we have up on wall. We have only feminist art in our house. We purchased some prints from a friend of mine who does nude photograpy and said he was not sure he could handle them. Get a life.

First official day of the blog…

Well, I had been doing quite well up until I started the blog! However I have been craving beef horribly for days. Part of the problem is that I have a hard time eating vegetables, beans and salad. My colitis is newly in remission so there is still some inflammation in my colon that makes digesting anything with fibre difficult. I also have IBS and it is not responding well to the changes in diet. So I am backing of a little bit. I had a bacon cheese burger from dairy queen last night. It was so good! I normally do not eat that kind of stuff, ever. Today I have decided I am going to make beef stroganoff because I have been craving it so badly. Then I will start over again – it is a process after all.
