Second- the races . as if next weekend was not busy enough with family and friend birthday parties f

First- it is day 32 of the anti-candida diet which consists of no sugar, no dairy, no processed foods, no yeast, no wheat, no carbs . and when I say no sugar I mean even fruit- no fruit . I have adhered pretty strictly to the diet (minus a cupcake in chicago and boston but they are two of the greatest bakeries I know!) and I definitely went through the die off phase where I felt terrible but for the most part I am feeling good .of course as I write this I am feeling a cold coming on but as long as it does not turn into a sinus infection I will be ok with it. In the process I have lost 6 lbs over the last 32 days . this was kind of surprising to me because I thought that I ate pretty well and obviously worked out so I did not think I had much to lose it just goes to show you how much sugar is in EVERYTHING and when you cut your body  off from it- things change. I am going to keep up with the diet for the most part- I may slowly reintroduce the very low sugar fruits but to be honest I dont really hotels near disneyland california miss the dairy, sugar, or wheat so why not stay off it? I am still getting weekly colonics and am going to continue that until the end of August and then maybe go to every month or every other month.
Second- the races . as if next weekend was not busy enough with family and friend birthday parties for our baby who is turning four, and our 5k race on Sunday- I also signed up to do the Gopher to Badger half marathon from Hudson, WI to Stillwater, MN on the 11th.
