So, Dr. M. very patiently explained that I feel like junk because I’ve been treating my body like junk (”garbage in - garbage out”). He didn’t even quote scripture to me - well, at least not until I made the mistake of quoting scripture to him…

…he could tell I haven’t been eating very well - my blood sugar is way out of whack - so he said, “Someone needs to write down everything you eat for the next two weeks.” I knew I had been busted!

So, I started confessing all my nutritional sins…then I said, “I’m just like Paul - what I ought to do, I don’t do, and what I shouldn’t do…that I do!”

To which he replied, “Very good, you’re quoting Romans 7 - but just like it says in Revelation, “the book shall be opened…” your body reveals the truth…

Touche!

So, we went straight from his office to Whole Foods…

…and we had a gorgeous Norwegian salmon on a bed of spinach leaves with beautiful dark red kidney beans.

And now I’m back on the wagon, so to speak…

When we broke the news to the kids last night, Ethan said “Oh great! I hate it when we try to get healthy!! We never get anything good ever again!!!”

I don’t know where he gets his tendency toward being overly dramatic!
Anyway…so I’m still feeling very puny, but once my homemade concoction of about 5 different over-the-counter meds kicked in, I was able to enjoy my day (Sorry to Josh who had a coffee meeting with me and Byron PRE said self-medication…He definiteley saw my:

I-feel-like-junk…

-and-I-don’t-even-get-Starbucks…

-and-now-I-have-to-be-all-healthy-and-nutrious…

-so-I’m-gonna-be-a-grumpy-drama-queen…

side.) Sorry.

And sorry to Byron, too, since he has to live with me (and give me sideways looks at brunch reminding me that: NO I CANNOT HAVE THE LOVELY POTATOES THAT COME WITH MY HEALTHY OMELETTE!!…but I’m not bitter.)

So, there. I’m officially “back on it”…

Peace…I think…

Yeah, Peace.
