It seriously Hasn't even been a week yet? Or, the longest week ever!

Here I am, day 4 of the RepairVite diet. I can't say it's going very well. I am sincerely hoping that all the crap still going on, and the constant new things popping up are the way my body is saying "HEY YOU! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE TOTAL CRAP, BUT I SWEAR WE ARE KILLING BAD THINGS DOWN HERE?" Yeah, that's what it BETTER be doing down there at any rate!
Today is Halloween. One of my favorite holidays of the year. I have been trying very very hard to remain positive about today. I took my little kiddo to the zoo this morning for "healthy" trick or treating, which resulted in me being so sad I can't eat the gluten free, delicious looking treats he got in his bucket, and then after a nice lunch of homemade chicken and veggie soup (you got it- bone broth included!) he took a nap. I also found these amazing chips that are totally in line with my diet! YAY! So I get a little bit of sinful feeling food at least.

I piddled around the house trying not to focus on feeling sick or on hating my life too much. After his nap I played with him and made some fun Halloween-based crafts, which took my mind off things and is something I really enjoy doing! I even treated myself to a special dinner! I made raw zuccini pasta (spiralizers are AMAZING!) and a homemade allergy-friendly pesto, which actually turned out awesome!

Then came the trick-or-treating. He did great. I wanted to snatch every single piece of delicious hazordous candy from the bucket and gobble it down like an obese woman! I smiled and helped him use his manners as we walked door to door instead. 

Now I'm sitting here, knowing I should be doing something productive, like working or at least watching a movie and not just listening to my annoying loud neighbors throw a party upstairs or whatever they are doing! 

But what am I doing instead? Thinking about food. All the lovely candy in the familiar round, orange, smiling bucket in front of the television. I don't think at this point I could even narrow it down to one candy I prefer over the rest! I love Reeses, Twix, Snickers, Kit kat is one of my favorites. I LOVE red licorice. And the fruity candies are fun. Skittles... mmmm... just thinking about these put me in a sugar coma. Tomorrow morning the Switch Witch will come and bring me something I can eat.. an apple maybe? or Perhaps a pile of berries? A girl can dream about candy though. 

I know this journey isn't going to be easy, but I feel like I picked the worst time of year to do it. My body feels no better, probably even worse (I'll spare you the details), but I just have to keep thinking to myself, like My little one's favorite story "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
