Day Five

It's nice to have eggs on the menu. 

I haven't seen much change in behavior in Sam or Ruth.  Ruth has been particularly unkind, not really out of the ordinary, but maybe a little more than usual.  She does not like to be told what or how to do much.  Whether it's her nutritional makeup or her sin nature is still hard to determine.  Unfortunately, it seems some of her behaviors have become ingrained. So diet does not seem to be the main issue but there are perhaps still some nutritional changes that can be made.  Magnesium may help, she has seemed to be more distracted. 

Here  is our menu for the day:

Breakfast: over easy eggs

Lunch: hard boiled eggs, chips, pears, lettuce

Snack: chips and pears

Dinner: Turkey omelet and lettuce

Ok I  cheated, I made butter chicken with rice and kale to bring to a friend and we had the butter chicken and rice for lunch. It was yummy. Ruth and Sam were at school. I've also cheated by having a cup of coffee with cream and had vanilla rooibos tea today. 

I don't know what's going on with me but I've had diarrhea all day. I have been taking magnesium but not more than usual. It could perhaps be all the lettuce I ate yesterday, or it may have been the coffee with cream.  Maybe I react to dairy. I'm going to wait a few more days and try dairy again and see what happens.

Our 1/4 of beef will be ready Friday, we'll have hamburgers Friday night. Yay!  I need to read up again on what foods are failsafe and how long before adding new foods, I might have to wait another day or so before adding the beef.
