My heartburn is back.  I’m not happy about it.  I thought it was gone, and now its back.  I guess it wasn’t the coffee after all, but now I don’t know what it was!  L  The only thing I can think of is I had some Almond Butter on a banana last night – I haven’t had Almond butter in awhile.  Maybe I’ll avoid it for awhile.  But my heartburn is still here at the end of today, and I Haven’t had any more.  UGH.

This really makes me want to just throw in the towel.  How does a diet that is supposed to make you feel better, give you the worst heartburn of your life and make you feel yucky?  Doesn’t seem right.

Lunch was delicious, I bought the burgers frozen and broiled it in the toaster oven.  Added a little salt, pepper and garlic powder.  YUM!  I did over cook it a little bit, I kept checking the temp and it wasn’t right, again and again, and then all of a sudden it skyrocketed!  Oiy.

Dinner was good - not as good as the taco salad on Superbowl Sunday, there is just something about someone else making food for you that seems to make it that much better, no?  It was still yummy, I think the avocado was a bit under-ripe, but it was all I had.

I am so ready to be done.  We went to a birthday party for one of Tristan's friends today, and there was cake, and frosting, and hoodsie
cups and I wanted to eat all of it so bad.  I really don't believe that it is
my 'Sugar Dragon' as they say, because I've never really had one of those.
I think its just me wanting to be able to savor and enjoy a bite of cake or
ice cream.  For the most part the food I've been eating is delicious, but
while I fully believe there is WAY too much sugar in the American diet
today, I also fully believe in the fact that it is okay to eat in moderation,
and on special occasions.  I'm ready to be able to par-take in those special occasions.

Dinner:

Taco Salad w/ salsa

& avocado
