Wow. It’s hard to believe I am down to the very last day here. What an interesting experience this has been.

This morning I had to run out the door, something I really prefer to not have do. I whipped up a green smoothie and because of the crazy business of my day, it had to last me until 2:45 when I was finally able to get home and make some lunch.

I was so hungry that I briefly thought about making some cheesy bread to go with my soup. Cheesy bread is one of my favorite things – a nice slab of sourdough with butter and grated cheddar or parmesan cheese, all warm and melty and toasty…

And then I was like, whoa, Eileen, you did not come this far to eat cheesy bread in the 11th hour.

So I abstained. And it wasn’t hard to do.

You know what’s funny? I get to have eggs tomorrow morning. And at least as of right now, I could care less. I have settled, somewhat anyway, into eating like this.

I love how eating like this has made me feel. In the whole 4 weeks I have been doing this, I have only had tummy trouble once and that was because I ate too many beans.

This is in contrast to previously when I have had irritability (they don’t call it “bellyaching” for nothing), indigestion, heartburn, constipation and bloating – not regularly, and not all at once – but periodically – with my previous diet.

Cassidy, observing me writing, says “You’re down to the last day? Oh Thank God. I really want you to eat meat again. The stuff you have been eating smells funny”.

So, the blog doesn’t end here. I still need to see how I feel when I re-introduce dairy and eggs and maybe meat? back into my diet. I guess I will eat meat if I really feel drawn to it. But I also need to start writing my book- which I am going to do tomorrow. December 21, 2012 seems like a good day to start a book.
