Brendan is not taking this blog as seriously as I am. He is now mocking me because we went on vacation this week and consumed diet pop and alcohol...most of this was consumed by him. I have come to realize that diet is the first area we need to work on. Though I want to simplify and overhaul many aspects of our lives, diet is the most pressing for both of us. I am cutting back on my meat intake, but don't know much about the vegetarian lifestyle. We meet with the dietitian on Monday, mostly to talk about Brendan, but I want to set up a time with her when she can talk about vegan/vegetarian diets. I have some friends interested in learning as well.
Diet is also most pressing for Brendan because he has abdominal pain every day and is now going slightly off the elimination diet, but is unsure of what he should be eating. He has a prescription powder that is supposed to help him, but he doesn't like the taste and, in discussing this blog, he confessed that he has not taken it in two days. Argh, we need a major dietary makeover. I set out his daily dose for tomorrow. Am I his mother or his mom?! Whatever it takes for both of us to be healthy I guess. He did unpack most of our vacation bags- I guess the least I can do is set out his anti-diarrhea medication. Tomorrow's goal: Cook a dinner both Brendan and I can eat using food we already have at home!
