15 weeks to go

The twins have been here since Tuesday evening and Bill has been gone since Wednesday. Hanna, David and Stephanie have been good helpers, but there was enough work for me to keep me busy... Hallie came back from EFY (I picked her up at 7:30); she loved being there and cannot wait until next year when she will go again. After I picked up Hallie I went for a 10 mile run: to the Provo River Trail, to the end of the trail at the lake and back. It was really hard, especially since I had not had breakfast and I have not eaten any substantial amount of carbs in the last 2 weeks. But I made it and am happy about it. This past week I only ran on Tuesday and Thursday; 6.5 and 5 miles (Thursday on the treadmill with the twins in one of their Pack-n-Plays, playing). The weather is finally wonderful, warm and blue skies. I have been able to work in the yard for the last couple of days. This meant death to many morning glory flowers :-)

Snowbird

Today is Friday, our week in Snowbird is almost over. Today it has also been exactly 1 week that I have been on the candida diet: no sugars, no starch, no carbohydrates, no grains. I have been eating yoghurt, kefir, nuts, seeds, all the veggies I can get my hands on and salad. It hasn't been very hard, with the exception of yesterday. I craved a "nutrageous" bar so much; I would have eaten one if I had had one. I have gone running 3 times while here and have not gotten sick. I would like to attribute that to my "fight against Candida" :-) 16 weeks to the marathon!
