I have spent the last 2 weeks working my way up to the Atkin's diet. The good doctor wants me to change my radical eating habits and go for the very high protein and very low carbs. With plenty of fat in the middle. It has taken me the full two weeks to rethink my eating. Lordy I have a gigantic sweet tooth, maybe about 10 of the damn things. I'm not a very dedicated meat eater so protein the easy way isn't my ball game. Needless to say I am starting to find tuna and eggs looking better as each day goes by. I love eating crunchy things. My favorite being popcorn which isn't included in my diet anymore............boo hoo! I guess I am going to have to work up a love relationship with pork skins and radishes. I found on the Atkins web site some very nice sounding recipes and have copied a few to try this week.

Since I started this new diet I seem to have a lot more energy and ambition. Before it was a struggle just to lift my head and now I enjoy visiting the grocery store. Is it the new diet or is it the increase of Cymbalta? Anyones guess. What ever it is I do feel better this week, at least most of this week. I actually feel like sewing on my cape I am making. Normally I'm not into anything that requires thinking because thinking requires energy. Such a vicious circle to be running on.

I ordered some absolutely delightful material to make Khole a quilt. One that can go on the floor because babies need lots of space to ride the bucking broncos of growing up. I want to put pockets on it with little stuffed toys stuck into them. I haven't made a quilt in about 40 years so this should be interesting. A month ago I would have just shrugged off the thought. SEE I am feeling better. I hope it last, i hope it last, i hope it last............................
