I have had a really up and down time in Stage 1. It's pretty clear to me that I feel a lot better eating the caveman way, when I've done that, and I feel a lot worse when I go on a junk food binge, since I've done that a few times this week.
I am leaving to go to my mom's house on Monday (4/4) and I'll be there all week. She's low-fat (Ornish) fanatic, and very opinionated on the subject of diet, so I am pretty much taking the week off. The good news is that I might counterbalance some of the slip-ups I've had this week with a pretty low calorie week then, not because the food is so low calorie, but because it is just awful. (My mom was a pretty good cook when I was growing up, but now... yuck.)
So, when I get back, I am going to jump into Stage 2 with both feet. I am really looking forward to it. Wish me luck! I am embarrassed to say it, but I am 320 pounds at 5' 6" (down from 326 when I started though!), so I have a lot of work ahead of me.
