Collected Thoughts

My stove arrived and is installed. I haven't used it yet since I was starving after work and got drive thru.

Also I wanted to pick a recipe and actually try something out. I've been really lax on the stuff I should avoid with the IC but I haven't been in too much pain. Or any pain.

However, I have been avoiding the major trigger items like yogurt, acids, fruit, and tomato. And actually I realized after eating veggies and meat mostly for a while and then going back to eating rather unhealthy when Mom was here (and then keeping that pattern after she left) I really felt a whole lot better eating healthy than eating crappy. Which shouldn't be a surprise but I realized a lot of the "minor" things I felt and just thought well that's how i am, are not in fact how I am. It's the crappy way I've been eating.

Now that I have a way to actually cook well I'm going to be trying to go back to eating healthy. I actually liked it better. It should be obvious -- eating good food makes you feel good -- but sometimes I need to experience the consequences of something for the lesson to stick.
