Rough Weekend

If you still are following us on the journey that is the Iodine Free diet, bless you.
Because this diet is enough to put anyone into a coma.
I mean really.
Not only does it rid you of all of the good foods to enjoy in life (ummm cheese), but it also causes a lack of enjoy that is unheard of.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to get enough fuel on this diet to keep yourself excited about life.
But we are trying really hard.
Evan said it the best when he said the diet is not so bad during the week, but the weekends absolutely suck!
I felt so bad for Evan this weekend. We basically ate salad and fruit for a span of 24 hours and his energy got to rock bottom.
I kept saying, "Let's get you something to eat", as we were walking around the grocery store. And his response would be something like, "I hate flipping Publix!".
And I felt so bad I went home and made him some guacamole and chicken.
But I know that was not what he really wanted- it would just have to do.

We did "cheat" and go to a restaurant on Sunday. But he ordered steak with no seasoning and a baked sweet potato. I think it was a nice change and conformed to the diet. Getting out was just nice, especially with friends.

So we enter week 2 of 4. Wow- overwhelming to say the least. But again, all in the name of curing cancer. So we can do this. We can do this. We can do this.
